Good tut, man
Velecroix, update your flash player!
When I saw the title, I thought you would be teaching manga-style anime. But you are not, just simple realistic-anime. Next tut you should make is a tut that covers the manga emotions, and how to draw them. That would be great ^^.
It was pretty good.
Very nice hands and feet, other then that, it was ok
More for computer-drawn anime.
I'm not saying that's a bad thing, either. Shading is where I stumble, and this tutorial should help me out quite a bit with that. I think a few things could have been more detailed (like how to draw the eyes), but overall this is quite in-depth. While that other guy said you copied, I could say the same thing that "it looks like Katy Coope's art." But because it looks like the style of a few different artists, that just means that many artists have the same way of teaching people to draw, so it must be the best way. Great job, Matt.
weird
hey this is a very good tutorial but there are still some mistakes i'd like to point out(or if you'd care to explain why)
first, i know it's anime, but your chins are a little bit too pointy.
second, when following the mouth mini tut i noticed that the shade of your noses are rectangular while ur nose is a triangle like thing and i wondered HOW IN THE WORLD can a triangle cast of a square as a shade...
and third, the last pages of the body tut, you drew a man with a sword and the next page u shaded him but you did it extremely wrong.Not that the shading itself is wrong but it is coming from a lot of different directions(the light source i mean) and it becomese all messed up( i'll try to tell where: the blue jacket is lighted at the top and it is the most attractable thing of the drawing so it would seem that the light is abov e him, the pants seem to be ok but still it seems that the light comes from the right when u look at it, the collars of his shirt are lighted inwards, that would mean the light source is inside his chest?You tried to shade the head with a gradient but forgot something:THE HAIR. so assuming that you intended the light to come from above, there should be shade beneath the hair first.so the original drawing looks better)
it's a great tut for beginners though^_^
Cool tutorial very infomational
