My Drawing (I did it!) - Page 2

merylsilverburg · Mar 14th, 2002, 09:02 PM

Yes, I remember this one time when I was really young (I've been drawing since I was 5) and I worked really hard on this one picture. But, then, after I finished it, I saw that everything was wrong with it and I started crying because I am a perfectionist and I was so mad that I had to erase or even redo my work. Ah...those were the best days.

But, yeah, I really like your drawings. The "Shut Up" one looks like One Piece.

Is that the style you tend to draw?

Yeah! Especially if you've been drawing for three days or even a week! Aarrgh! How annoying! I've noticed you like to draw Tidus a lot!

You're really good at it. When I tried to draw him...he looked like a chick, it was so scary.

Do you like to draw more life-like or sometimes anime?

Pu the Owl · Mar 14th, 2002, 09:04 PM

Well, no...I'm not tending to any style. I just like to change it when drawing different things. My own style is very different form the one of One Piece :p

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. Even if your drawings are different from One Piece, they're still very good anyway. Plus, you've got the manga thing down, so it'll be cool to see a manga of your very own someday! I'm pretty sure it'll be good!

Pu the Owl · Mar 14th, 2002, 09:10 PM

you didn't offend me at all

IMy style, if you can call it like this, it's not very personal at the moment, and it's not very refined.
Just to give you an idea:

*here I posted a link before but since it was just an example, I can edit the post and delete the link*

Don't mind the pic too much, it's only a rushed sketch.
This is what I call my syle, and it has nothing in common with One Piece or other mangas in general :p
Oh well, I still have to learn...

merylsilverburg · Mar 14th, 2002, 09:29 PM

Whoa, Fortune!

What are you talking about, "just a rough sketch"?!?! That looks so complete and perfect to me! I really like the face...wow, it really is detailed and everything is so aligned perfectly. My faces are always so lopsided (like me

) so I get very frustrated with that. I also like the hair and eyes...man, this is just an awesome pic, I like it a lot! How long have you been drawing, Fortune?

Pu the Owl · Mar 14th, 2002, 09:32 PM

When I was younger, like 11 or so, I liked a lot to draw. Then, when I started going to high school I gave up and never tried a sinlge pic again, until this year, when I started again to draw some random pics :p

The problem is that I'm easily bored, so when I start drawing, I can't stay on the same piece of paper for the rest of the day. That's why I'm not going to improve dammit!

Pu the Owl · Mar 14th, 2002, 09:35 PM

Back to topic

Why don't you try some MGS art in manga style?
That would be funny

merylsilverburg · Mar 14th, 2002, 09:39 PM

My sister is the same way, Fortune. She loves to draw, but then she always gets bored and quits.

I would love to draw MGS art manga style, but I can't draw guys!!

I can only draw girls, and I guess Meryl Silverburg would be cool, but yet...I can't seem to imagine drawing such terrific characters in my horrible drawing style! :p

Pu the Owl · Mar 14th, 2002, 09:41 PM

You should start with some sketches, without making a definitive version, so if you'll like some of your meryl drawings, you'll be able to show them

Spirit · Mar 15th, 2002, 12:01 AM

looking good meryl!

sorry didn't reply yet =P but good job on that drawing =P

Yeah I seem to right this moment being drawing pics of Tidus or they just turn out to look like Tidus quite alot

I think I like to try and draw both life-like and sometimes anime pics, but my anime pics are really rubbish though

So I try to keep to my style of drawing abit

Mercury Shadow · Mar 15th, 2002, 03:47 PM

WOW MERYL! That's excellent

Keep up the good work, you're talented

merylsilverburg · Mar 15th, 2002, 06:30 PM

Thanks Spirit and Merc!

Oh, and Soul Angel, don't worry if you can't draw anime that much. It's hard, really! I like your style of drawing that you have now, so you should just continue that! You're very good at it, I would like to see more in the future!

Cannibal Clown · Mar 16th, 2002, 07:06 PM

Do any of you ever hear people telling you that anime is one of the most simplest forms of drawing there is and that being able to draw it very well doesn't mean you're a good drawer.

I get that a lot, people look at the big eyes, and the pointy mouth and chin and say what a cheap way to draw a person. The hair isn't even real looking.

When in rerality, after i practice the style, I've learned that anime style is probally the most realistic and difficult forms of animation around, other that computer graphic of coarse.

Has this ever happened to you Meryl, Fortune, or Soul?

Soul Angel · Mar 16th, 2002, 08:42 PM

I haven't personally heard that from someone before, but I wouldn't agree with them if they did say that.
Personally anime is quite hard to draw for me (I'm still pretty much learning the technique) I would like to see them draw some and see if they could draw anime or not if someone did ask me, right there and then!
It would be interesting how well they would do?

merylsilverburg · Mar 17th, 2002, 12:52 AM

No, sorry I haven't heard that before, I just hear people say "Oh, that's really good!" And that's it. But if I did, just like Soul Angel, I would have to disagree! Anime/Manga is soooo hard to draw! I've been at it since I was 5 years old, and look! I'm STILL wondering, "Hmm...does this position look right?" or "Hmm....the hands and feet seem too small". It's really quite tough! And yeah, Soul, I would also like to see those people try to draw anime/manga and see how "easy" it is for them. Sheesh! When I hear things like that, it really pisses me off. Of course, anime/manga isn't realistic if you're comparing them to actual human beings, but everything, like the hands and the legs are still human-like, they're just extended longer because that's what makes it pretty and anime. Plus, the Japanese like how Americans are so tall, that's why the characters are really tall too. Anyway, the only thing that I heard about my drawings, was by this annoying girl who said my drawings are good, but they're really slutty looking.

Cannibal Clown · Mar 17th, 2002, 12:13 PM

I know a girl in one of my classes who saw me drawing anime and she was like "Ugggh, I hate anime."

I asked her why and she said it was because all anime chicks are always in slutty clothing and it makes them look like sex objects or something.

She's got a point, but that's no reason not to like anime.

But she did admit that my drawings were really good, but my pic of Rei Ayanami had large breasts, so she complained about that.

merylsilverburg · Mar 18th, 2002, 09:47 PM

I know a lot of anime portrays chicks as sex objects, but that's just because anime is a way to use the imagination, so I don't blame mangakas for it. I do understand her point too, but, you're right, that's not really a reason why not to like anime. People like that are closed-minded and not open to new things. I would just ignore her, but I see her point, but I would be pissed if anyone said that to me. The girl who called my drawings slutty said that I shouldn't draw stuff like that, because she said I wasn't very good at it. She also said the only reason why people liked my drawings was because I draw the girls really slutty looking and that's the only way for me to get attention.

Cannibal Clown · Mar 19th, 2002, 12:16 PM

i got that a lot too. i used to really suck at anime, but my friends all said i was awesome because of what the girls i drew were wearing.

but now i've gotten a lot better and i'm appreaciated for all of my drawings. not only the slutty ones.
