Hey all, so finally I've gotten around to something I've always wanted to try my hands at....DRAWING MANGA!!Sure I suck at it but at least I am putting my foot out there...So this first one here is of some guy's face. I am learning from Manga U so am hoping I'm doing ok with it. You will never believe how hard this is to draw! I've been drying for hours and finally I manage something that look like a face! YAY ME! The eyes aren't right still but at least it looks like someone's face and not just some bloody scratches. I am gonna keep at th eyes until I get them looking a little bit better. But these pics are from my sketch pad so they might be a tad fuzzy. Let me know what you guys think of my drawings for an absolute beginning when it comes to this kind of thing.
I've always wanted to try it. I mean I bought the sketch pad like three months ago. Why I didnt start then was beyond me. Anyways, I went to this website and it is showing how to draw them step by step, get a feel for it. I'll never be perfectly good but who knows? At least I am learning something new and it's challenging. When my writing gets to a stand still like it seem to be doing a lot lately, I'll just pick up my sketch pad and doodle a little. But th eyes are the hardest parts to draw! OMG! This one righ there is of a happy face. Th emouth didn't come out to right and the eyes are different size but I got the emotion right. The nose is 'perfect apparently but everything else is a tad off.
I am so happy right now! I actually accomplished something I set my ind out to do!! This year is going to be a good year for me! Ijust know it! This was on my resolution list from last year and I am finally getting around to it.
So this next guy is supposed to be pissed off. The eye brows need a little bit of help but other than that I say I got the eyes a little bit better and the nose is right. I was trying to draw a head around his facial features but so far can't seem to get the chin right. But for a first try this isn't bad. I kept forgetting how to draw the mouth or shading in the wrong area but I finally managed to get it out and on paper.
The shading is a tad rough and hard but I guess it's to be expected. I am not using the pencil they said I should *shhh* *grins* but I guess once I keep practising it'll get better. The next pic is of some guy being all stubborn--but I kinda sorta messed up the eyes. Couldn't draw them properly--keep getting the wrong shapes to them and shading so after a bit I gave up. I think I got the eye brows right along with the nose, mouth and kinda the chin.. .And then last but not least, the frowning guy. I haven't gotten a chance to try my hand at the smirking guy yet, but I will at some point. Ok the frowning guy was the second easiest one to draw (followed by the angry guy). His eyes aren't perfect but everything else looks right. I think I drew his lips kinda too long but all in all a good attempt I think!
I am so proud of myself. Look at me go! After the weekend I've had I am glad to just chill and have some drawing fun. My body is exhausted because I had so little sleep this weekend. I am still trying to catch up on sleep. Now after I've tired myself out with my attempt at drawing manga, I must now proceed to watch The Mummy. I could use a good laugh you know?
Anyways, I'm going to add a video to this blog. It's one of my newest favorite songs called "Shakin it 4 Daddy" by Robin Thicke featuring Nicki Minaj! I LOVE this song. So it's not the official video because they don't have one yet, but enjoy the video anyways. And if you wanna get down with your bad-self, turn off the lights, climb on the bed and dirty dance to the beat of this tune! I absolutely recommend it!
Anyways, Hugs,
