RE: Kite from .Hack Anime Series Fan Art [Process Drawing]
Hey, @jamesartville.
I'd say for a character you don't draw often, it turned out great. I'm not a marital arts expert either, but anime doesn't normally go for reality, anyway, so the stance works. The details are great, so is the color and the blending. I can see that mobilestudio pro really allows you to move in and around at a great pace if you so desire.
I meant to ask the last time I commented whether or not you do more than just character art, like sequential art, mainly comic book format or the like. You mention you've been at this for years, so I imagine you must do this professionally, especially with the equipment you have. But I'm also guessing you're doing more than just fan art requests. :)
I am a graphic designer first and foremost, with digital art on the side. I have illustrated several children's books and a graphic novel as well. It is my hope to someday become a full time artist and publish my own comics and stories.
Thanks!
Okay, graphic designer. Seems like that's what a lot of people are. Pays the bills. :) Well, for what it's worth, I think you have the talent to go full time. What you need is the break, and it looks like you're doing what you can to make that happen.
I've been interested in publishing my own comics since I was probably 12. Except, I'm not an artist, but more of a writer. Lots of ideas, just how to make it profitable is the ongoing mystery.
It seems to me though that if you can draw like you can, it's a tad easier to get the ball rolling, once you have general concepts and some individual story ideas. I don't know. Maybe not. My thought is, if you don't have to hire someone to draw your book, because you can do it yourself, that's better, especially in the beginning. :)
Thank you very much for the encouraging words.
