i own a bunch of colored inks in bottles.... but i usually don't use that for coloring front pages. i don't think it works that well... and shading sucks.....

hey, i absolutely love this manga. it is really good. i hate how it was so short though. grand job and i think it's sad that not so many people have heard of it.

[QUOTE=GTK]hahaha XD I totally practically use only .005 *shot dead* though if you use only that size, it dies pretty fast T_T I use .005, .01, .03,and .08 mostly This also may be a bit silly to ask, but are you drawing on the paper you are inking on? Sometimes when you erase it will tear up the paper (even if it doesn't look like it), so when you ink over it the line will bleed. I use printer paper also and have never had any problems O_o[/QUOTE] i use printer paper too. lmao and i didn't mean that you can't. wat i meant was: if your whole picture has small, thin, detailed lines, then yes, i think you should really use .005 on it all... but if you use a mixture of thin lines and thicker lines(just like i do) you will find it to be easier to use larger pens... the line thickness will be more even.

i thought the ending to wolf's rain in the manga was really stupid... i liked it better when everyone died.

well, here is a list of series i truley enjoy. inuyasha love hina Wolf's rain hellsing samurai champloo Ranma 1/2 ROD Paranoia agent

hmmm, i tend to draw the eyes at more or less the same time.... first the outline.. then the actual eye, and then the eyebrows and eyelids. i beleive that it is best to get in the habbit of drawing ti this way so if you find it neccisary chang your style later it is easier.

well, that's really simple. your holding the pen too hard on the paper. ofcourse, practicing will help lots just as the person who said before me... i don't neccisary agree that you should do your whole outline sketch in .005 pens... DON'T USE GEL PENS. unless ur not looking for a professional look. and ballpoint pens give a bad look... i would only use it if i was going to make it negatice later.

um, i use the same brand of pen, i rearely have that problem. wat type of paper are you using? that might deal with it.also how you are handling the pens may contribute to the problem. it might be the pen itself... you really shouldn't use a ballpoint pen.

[quote name='rikuza']I first started drawing manga last year, so it was in october 2005 im 12 so i have a lot of time to practise, im currently trying to make a manga called Souls Entwined, its a love story about a warrior and a girl that can never see him, and how the end up seeing each other and then the girl is trapped in a crystal and he is on a querst to save her! Sound cool?[/quote] hmm... could i see a sample of your artwork??? i started seriously drawing early November(2005)/late Spetember(2005... i forget when exactly, but roughly 3 months ago... sumthing like that. i should check my DA account). i have hopes of being a fancomic doujinka. i'm going to soon start working on short comics(one or two pages). unfourtunetly, i'm not too good of an artist. and to those two people fighting... i'd like to see sample of your art too.... how strange you two... only i don't think you can say ur a really good artist without showing proof.

um, wt type of eyes are you trying to draw? CGed? simple like the girl's avi before me or more complexed? it all deals with your style... so um wat's ur style?

well... if you are doing computer comics made through just the computer(like "and shine heaven now") u should use somthing like comic sans or whatever else tickles your fancy. if you are drawing on paper, you should do lettering.

[QUOTE=x_kr3w_x]Look I Agree but not all anime is like that i myslef like this one kind of anime called Initial D Also it is good if you like cars....So I introduce you all noobs to Initial D [/QUOTE] yeah, we all already know that not eveything is like that. we already got over that. besides, prolly most of us have already heard of initial D. and don't call us noobs, wth. and i don't see anything wrong with it anyways.

i'll try that sounds like a good idea.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook. a doujinshi is a self-published book. occasionally fan-doujinshi(pretty self-explanitory), which is probably alot more popular in the states. and alot easier to find. but there is original doujin which is an original story featuring original characters. not too common in the states, but is plenty in japan. ever heard of clamp? they started out doing doujinshi. since i feel the need to go on and in more detail, i will. doujinshi can be published by a single person, two people that just join up for that one(if they stick together they usually become a circle or somthing and get themselves a name), or, much more common, done by a circle. a circle is a group of people featuring a writer, artist, editor, ect. that makes doujinshi. like clamp, which is a circle. or omega 2-d is pretty well known. um, yeah. and i just realized ur prolly wondering(sorry if i'm wrong) how the hell people publish it. well, they first draw it, and totally edit it, then either save it on a disk or bring it to a printers place and copy it, then they print it out and give it to you, then you sell it. and of your post, i did not understand anything of the second part.

ribbons, scrunchies, chopsticks, barrettes, hats, clothe, the whole lot pretty much.

ok, the "HTDM"(as you called them) books don't help you at all. i think you will find yourself much more succsesful, especially later on if you start out on your own without using a book.

[QUOTE=sakurasuka][SIZE=1]Sex does sell. And that's the saddest part of it. Guys nowadays would much rather sit at home and watch porno/hentai than live thier lives and meet [i]real[/i] girls. And - because of the obnoxiously large chested women in anime and other places - boys are having a skewed view of reality and of women. Magizines, TV shows, movies, and now even cartoons are portraying women as merely sex objects. It's no wonder so many teen girls are falling back on plastic surgery lately. I think that's really what girls have a problem with, it's now having to compete with not only our peers, but the goddamn cartoon characters. Personally, I think that the flat-chested girls from DNAngel are cuter, and much more pretty than the mongo-bongos from Psycic Academy. Maybe it's just me, but I think it's somewhat gross and un-realistic. [/SIZE][/QUOTE] i agree with some of your points, that it really has messed up alot of stuff in our world, but you can't blame most of it on anime and manga, i think. but still, that's the world you have to live in. i also agree wtih Avenged666fold, and i still think this whole forum has a pretty sad argument and big boobs don't make somthing "sexism" or whatever the hell the person decided to call it. oh yeah, some guys like flat chested girls too. it's called lolicon...lmao.

hey, i just found on my computer these pictures of hands... they're shojo style, and have multiple postitions n stuff. i could send em to you if you want.

um, well..... hands are probably the hardest things for me to... i learned to draw hands by just looking at hands in anime n such until i got it right. just practice alot and you'll eventually get the hang of it.

uh, i was being serious. that actually was a good idea- i have been looking up hairdressing cites myself. and no, i don't think she has.

huh, well, that sounds like a VERY VERY clean story... no nothing... well, it seems like plenty of people are helping you, so i only have a little advise: why do you send to a publisher? why don't you make it a doujinshi?

hey, guess wat? if you don't like that sorta ****, then don't read it! or watch it or whatever. quite frankly, i have absolutely no problem with. it's hentai, i mean, this is the saddest arguement i have ever heard. LISTEN, IT SELLS! truest me! i learned this with doujin. H doujin sells a hell of alot better than non H doujinshi. to refrace it-SEX SELLS. besides, i think that jsut because you see someone in an anime with big boobs you yell "SEXISM" is pretty dam sad, too. i mean, that doesnt make the series sexist at all. for it to be sexist, there has to be descrimination against woman. and often that isn't the case.

i love l'arc~en~ciel. my favorite song is probably blurry eyes or bravery... or invitation to freedom. they're all really good. :::3

yes, copic markers are very expensive. colored inks? um, how would do shading?

i am praying that i'm not breaking any rules... ok, how do people color their pictures without using a computer prgram. i have seen various pictures that are colored traditionally but i can't tell what medium n such. please help. i feel extremely stupid.
