whoo, heres hoping i get the promised brownie points :P im going to enter this into the manga competition too.
i think the face is a little different from the original Hanna Blackrow, but i was focused more on the anatomy and proportions when drawing this ^_^ im kind of pleased with it
i'll admit, i hated following the how-to >_< always haveing to stop drawing to check instructions is annoying, so i improvised with a picture for referance hoping for the best
sorry for the poor quality pictures, but my scanner doesnt work so theyre taken with my camera phone -_-'
By employing stunning art and step-by-step instructions, this visual guide shows aspiring manga artists how to create lifelike female characters, from the initial geometric shapes through the finished image. Drawing inspiration from Victorian and Edwardian styles of dress, the gothic Lolita style this reference employs is shown in a clear, instructive, and easy-to-visualize fashion. Each instructional lesson begins with a series of geometric shapes and each eventual character is developed in a manner that builds confidence and skills, making this an ideal resource for beginners and those with an interest in manga who want to hone their abilities.
