Just thought you might wanna know that I have a folder on my HD just for pictures by you. Just thought you might wanna know, y'know.

Takeru:-
Nah, i see more errors and still need basics practicing....Ordinary is what I prefer to say to my works...

Ozzaharwood:-
Yes, Kyle..it's one of my research samples from vast uncountable resources...

Sottaceti:-
Err..I hope it doesn't troubles you....I deeply grateful and thank you...

Seems like you need to work on eyes. You should try experimenting with drawing the iris's in different sizes, since having such large iris's filling the entire eye leaves little room for movement, and it appears as though you've fallen into a habit of having everyone look pretty much straight forward when they have large eyes.

It's hard to explain...

Kiiryu:-
I thank you, Kiiryu. I'll keep it in my mind when make another drawing...it seems need more practicing of the basic and varieties....

wow dude, like always your work is EPIC!! any tips on how to get that fine of detail in pictures?

ಠ_ಠ

Sanny1064:-
O.o No, I don't see it as "EPIC"...more to ordinary and lazy works....as usual..truly.

Sottaceti:-
Another "killer eyes"....Scares me...

TIPS:-
OK, so to get the fine of details on the pictures, (according to my research and experiences, others may vary according to person) I just have the necessary tips for you and everyone, I'll elaborate it into parts:-

1.Games
- It doesn't matter what games you play (dating sims, strategy, action and more) but it's a collection in every aspect from the professional...(Japanese, American and Korean online games) and don't mind the console (PS2, PS1, PSP, PC, XBOX360 and etc..) in many ways in what you have, you now having a full references in your arsenal and can be applied into your drawings..Meaning? OK, here's a hint, to the artist, maybe some of them the game is just usually to release tension and just for free time but in my experiences in art with games it have a different perspectives...here's the list :-

A. Games have a variety creation of arts in them and can be applied in your drawing with a bit modifications and twist in designs...How? try take one of your favourite games characters or according to your tastes..then imagine your character merges the designs with them...at the same time try to change some of it features to look like your character(s) Example : God of War Kratos - Your character maybe a swordsmen, Imagine that you merge them into one and you modify the faces with your character and put some details and armor within the designs..the you just create a new pattern of clothes and armor to its former designs...but maintain it's brawny build but changed the weapon with your designs...Holla~! You just created a character from a game but it have instead your modified character(s)..this is not the only option but as I say everyone have their own tastes but this method can be applied to all arts creation and drawings...

B. Details and Designs are the main features that make the characters stands out in games and others genre but let's look closely didn't you notice that the designs and details you can just grab it and twist it a little bit to formed a new one that is your originality? Most people tend that copycat is the fastest way to develop BUT I suppose in my opinion in it doesn't matter you're a copycat or not, but you cannot be a copycat all the time instead your satisfaction in art will much more fulfilled when you have your own universe of character(s) and stories in which you created AND only using your own and people will recognize and appreciate you more..OK, back to the topic...In other words like Dawn of War when you play the game there's a lot of designs that you can implement in your own...like details of the armor and characters also the designs of weapons and armors into your own arsenal BUT with a twist and modifications so that people will say Woow~!! that Awesome~!...and you have just created your own art universe in your own styles..

C. Stories and Character's Feeling - this is the main part where you will understand more about your own character(s) when you imagines and draw it...and come up with a BOOM story that will make people want to read more...Try playing the games, read manga, novels or anything including news in the paper also can give you a story in your own Manga isn't it? BUT try to understand the story behind it and feel the emotions, rage, love, sadness, and more as if you the one who understand it fully then with that feeling try to make a story based from it then as usual twist it and modify to make it your own so that it will have the newest and super-creative-imaginative story. At the same time think about what's the feeling in it and how your character(s) will react to the flows...also, you will need to know that what the situations, what makes it like that, why, and how..but as usual you'll need strong foundations in basics and applied it everytime..I know it sounds hard but I have practiced it for 8 years since I first have my PC's and PS1 when I'm 13 and still going for it...But then again, it's up to everybody in how they want to do it...

D. Messages and Behind Stories - every story have their own messages in every thing that happen when you play, the meaning of friendship, love, affection, betrayal and evil do have their own messages if you watch and play it several times...You cannot just understand it in one play, even a novelist, read back his own torn pages old books more than several times to keep refreshing his mind in what he wants to get his messages across in his new books...In other words, your character(s) designs have their own messages like how they live, what culture, how their world is and many more in just one drawings or illustrations...It may take time but to know the story in their art did you look only in one time then understand it clearly? of course not...You repeatedly look into it and maybe ask for the creator or look into the web for it's opinion to understand it clearly just like games...

2. Imagination - you must imagine everytime your character in your mind and everytime means everyday, every hour, minutes and second while you do your activities. This also can be enhanced by MP3 player or radio or computer songs while you do your work and activities....
- This will enable you to visualize more frequently your characters and in 360 degrees along with your animations in your mind with your own variety of characters...The benefit will becoming excels in your time when you drawing since you have a solid imagination and image of your own characters....Try imagine for 2 or 3 days then work on it..It's working since I'm doing this daily without compromise...

3. References - you must have an adequate resources of books and to tell you the truth, I don't have many books and references but I buy a number of books and keep reading it and study it until I have memorize what style and details that I want...after that, I keep doing this until I have become bored then buy a new one then it really means that you have a certain knowledge about the Manga and the style that you will implement in your next drawings....
- This will enable you to have a vast knowledges about the recent style of Manga since it's infinite and have many varieties. You must equip yourself with knowledge first in what book or Manga or download files you just purchased....Set a number of resources you want to have then categorize it according to what you aiming in your drawings or arts...The review this resources until you have gone bored then purchased a new one after you have study and memorize the style, details and other things you want to know and study...This is my style so just follow your heart and mind in what you want....

4. Songs - Now this is very important since this will enable you into frenzy mode in your drawings and art....When listening to a song remember that you need a vast amount of songs or music to really know the souls of your drawings...Example, when you listen to a J-Pop music, you must really imagine the cheerfulness, power, flow, beat and strength of the music, then while you listen to it...Automatically your hand will start moving on its own without you forcing it...then Walla, you've just sketching one of the amazing arts....
- This will enable you to do variety of drawings according to the music and produce souls to your drawings. According to my research when I started drawing, the Manga artists forte is music that channels its strength to the artist to produces an art that excels the expectations of others to you....Try if you can while doing nothing or just wanted to draw in free time with MP3 player to your ears......Remember, apply this three tutorials first in everytime of your life since you will have to produce many arts before you will step into the top...

I deeply apologize to my "longest" essay..I do hope these tips will be useful to help you and everyone in their goals. Have Fun in Life and Drawings, my prayers are with you all.

First of all, your drawing skills probably surpasses everyone on MT. It would be hard for anyone to give the slightest bit of crit(a feat so far accomplished only by Kiiryu). That should do for your drawings, since everyone else already mentioned whatever I can say.

Now about your tutorial. I already do about a half of what you mentioned. If I could draw as good as you, I'm sure that I can give as much importance to detail as you do, but I'll go mad repeatedly drawing the same character. But I can't draw well at all anyway to give importance to detail...I think of all the detail while drawing rather than thinking of everything beforehand. It's just that I can make all the details while drawing that beforehand. My is imagination is strong, but no where as strong as yours. Not being able to draw the basic shape of the drawing in the first place makes everything else useless. Oh well, I have a loooooooooooooooooonng way to go...

And no, all our prayers are with you. You need them more than us.( Hey wait, I'm atheist. Why did I just say that)

Xaphatro:-
Err..I did browse most of the gallery here and found many surpassed me in many ways. I don't see myself that high level from your praise. I did like I always do and having fun also provide the knowledge in my drawings or tips to help everyone improves better.

I did have the same experiences with Xaphatro back when I started drawing but I keep practice my patience and draw until my hand falls off, reassemble and draw repeatedly.

Me? Nay, I'm an old man along with my works I see only failures and mistakes...It's the works of you and next generations youngster these days to pave their own legacy while mine have past long ago since I make mistakes a big time and end mine bitterly.

Since you don't seem to have any actual critics of your work, I'll give my 2 cents here.

1. From what I am seeing your comfort zone seems to be graphic heroic, and following the whole trend of the big bulky hero villia, cute little female hero, and so on. Try stepping outide of your conforzone and doing something different. Try making the next couple of pictures organic animal, or anatomical child.

2. I see in one or two of your pictures you cut the characters at their feet. On a professional level you should never do this, but I also understand this isn't a professional environment or you may not care, but I just thought I'd mention it.Cut off at areas like then knees, abdomen, chin, and about 2-3 is actually more acceptable.

There is more I would go into, but I don't have enough work to look at to try to do a accurate say on it.

BlackMage:-
I'm deeply grateful for your 2 cents, and it helps me very much in many ways.

1. Yes, I have noticed back in 2006 when I view most of my arts and confirm my doubts as your words have explained it all. I did many doodles start in 2007 to be out of my comfort zones, well, many things I never thought of before and exploring new things.

2. I did say many times before, I'm not a Pro although many says I am...Don't worry, just say according to your opinion. I still have a longest way to go...

I thank you very much BlackMage....If you want to add more, please go ahead..I'm also learning from you and everyone...*bows*

Whoa, you're a teacher? That being said, I'm already learning a TON by looking at your stroke lengths and values; if I stared at your drawings in detail I'd probably get a lot more out of them too -

Master of the crosshatch...that's what I've always called you lol. And you still are amazing at those tiny little details, even more than me O.O..so many, yet so clean and visible.
The only few things I've noticed is when you do mechanical hands, they're not as good as the rest of the body, usually they're kind of block and don't really seem moveable..but I can understand that since I know they're hard/irritating, especially when they aren't always the center of attention, so that's just minor.
One other thing is on some of your face drawings, sometimes the eyes are sort of buggy, especially with the girls. They just don't seem to fit all that well with me *shrugs*...might just be a personal thing, as I'm not really into that style. But with your skill I'd like to see you post something realistic and out of style, ya know? I'm sure you could pull it off. Also can we haz moar colorz?

Hamachi:-
Err..A freelance Tutor I should say...May my next drawing shall help you and everyone improves. Just don't make your eyes like Kungfu Panda....Dozo, obtain and practice the knowledge in my drawing it offers. I thank you very much.

Gunzet:-
No, perhaps more a beginner level...in most cases I look back into old arts back in when Star Wars IV A New Hopes and Anime in 1976 to learn the hard way of doing arts without computers. It really helps a lot since the old school ways are needed and can be assimilates into today ways...I'm looking at Stan Lee's and Tom Kidd drawings and collection along with Japanese Anime/Manga (Games, Doujinshi, Wallpapers etc..) also Games (from old to latest in PC and PS2 console) right now to see what knowledge it offers and implement it into my works...More like 'experimenting"...

Yes, Mecha (or Mechanical) design are one of my first attempt to get out of my comfort zones...The girls? That's what happen I'm always see the Comiket Doujinshi too much...Very well, it may take time to develop new and out of style drawing, Please do bear with me for a while since I'm cracking my logical engine to get it started..only no oil yet...(I review everyone's comment along with reviewing others art in MT..Deeply apologize I didn't comment..)

Colors? Well, I didn't finished coloring my artworks for more than 6 years until now...only experimenting. I'm more into Black and White but it never hurts to try coloring once in a while...I thank you very much..
