Manga Boy (1)

I started drawing manga recently, and I have been practicing, and checking out every book in the library on the subject. I also saw a friends manga art and decided that I liked it. Also, about two weeks ago I went to a manga art class too. Then a few days ago I bought a pogo sketch and Inklet, which arrived yesterday. The pogo sketch is basically a stylus that transfers your electric curent though the tip. Inklet makes a pressure sensitive and turns a magic trackpad or macbook track pad into a drawing tablet. It cost about $30 If you buy them together. I am using Inklet with adobe photo shop. You can try a demo of inklet from the ten one site. I have been testing it out and here is the progress. By the way, I will add hair.

Art Class

 On Tuesday I got to go to an art class, and I drew this hand holding a marble while I was at it. The shades are off, and it didn't smudge very well because I was using a HB mechanical pencil, and not 2B. By the way, H is the light and hard side of the spectrum and B is the dark and soft opposite. The number refers to how much of that kind it is. For example: If I have a 4B pencil and a 1B pencil, the 4B is darker. Your comments are welcome.

IF: beginner

   Hey guys, I'm back! I have been wanting to do an Illustration Friday post for some time now (by the way, IF stands for Illustration Friday). I hope that I will get some more followers from this post, but if not, thats Ok. Now for the actual picture, It is when I was 6 I think. I will expand the process tomorrow hopefully. Here is the process:

    I took a scan on the actual picture, and printed it out. I then put a one inch grid on it and marked each line with a number or letter.

 After I did this, I made a separate grid on my watercolor paper of the proportions that I liked, making sure to keep the squares the same length on all sides. I drew what I saw as the most defying features on the face continuing to work around each block individually, working from the top left hand corner to the bottom right hand corner.

   Then looking at the picture as a whole, I made few touch ups.

   Next, I painted the entire face a light tan wash, except for the highlights in the eyes.

 Next I painted the very top and botom of the eyes blue, also adding another tan wash to the skin.

I continued adding washes and such until I had the face and neck completed.

 I then painted the shirt, and then the backdrop.

Finished!

Blender!

One of my friends is going to robotics with Chad (That is where they build huge robots to do objectives on a course. I think they weigh about 100 pounds!)and he is doing the animation part of the program, in they are using a program called "Blender". There are a lot of movies being made with this program too. I have been messing around with the program, and watching a few tutorials. This is my second creation.

This is supposed to be a ball on top of a cube.

The second one that I made is the image below

And the third,

This one is an alien! I took a screen shot of the program, but it didn't display the bottom.

This is the last and best one that I have made:

FRONT

SIDE

Tell me what you think, and what you think that I could do better.

Tree

I think I did this in fall, but I miss the leaves on the trees, and I don't like the dead, brown ones out on the lawn. I wish it would snow more here.

Manga

I did this one a while back too, just wondering, was I supposed to pencil it first, and then ink it.

General

I drew this a while ago, when I was trying to draw generals, but in the end, I really only liked this one...
