Draw and color anime girl step by step process another attempt! My last attempt to revive the old drawing of Anime looking character was not so successful. So I take a different direction. I am looking at a simpler and going with a fewer values. Because of last time I try to maintain the simple anime face and try to render everything else out...it clashed. Now, I am doing less but adding more of other element instead like designs, costume and such. It works out better than last time so it looks like I will be able to finish it in a couple sessions. It takes a lot of thinking than I think it would. Since I am doing the realistic render/ painting concept at work all day. It's a little tricky to switch the mentality and simplify and make good looking cartoon.

Here is another update from Kapow Express: FINALLY! ***Adding another half page update on July 9th, 2009 ENJOY! :) It's been sometimes, I have been trying to do good drawing or painting in the past couple of days...it didn't turn out...but tonight possibly I am determine to make the better one than the last Digital painting video tutorial Court Lady, or at least up to the same par. Anyway, it's KAPOW EXPRESS time. Previously on Kapow: Cheng, Bing Bing, and unconcious Mei ran into the strangely quiet village. They see nobody in town.

The kung fu kids are looking for lodge and food, but seems no one can offer them in this town. Here is what happen next: And for newest art tutorials don't forget here Digital painting video tutorial Court Lady, and rece...

Digital Painting Process Rogue Samurai Swordsman Update. Here is an update on the image I worked on for fun. I notice something I should mention. Usually the first half hour of painting is more like a warm up for me, so does in drawing. During the time, things usually but not always don't come together as well as I expect. But things started to pieces together after that, it is usually goes really well when I have about an hour in and then taper off after a few hours. So currently I spend the first half hour doodling and studying on other image as a warm up before I start painting the project that I left off mid way. I found it gives me better result instead of jumping in right away without warming up. I notice that in life drawing also, I usually have to spend about 15 minutes struggling to get where I think I should be. In case you missed, you can look at the previous post for step by step digital painting tutorial Rogue Samurai Another tip is that I could work on a few ima...

Zombie Ninja digital painting tutorial character design. Well, the last post I did about the first edition of drawing the color sketch zombie ninja (see Manga tutorial drawing zombie ninja it also include many of ninja drawing tutorial links.)didn't really fit what I had in mind. It came out like a sub-par quality which is kind of disappointing. So I did another quick character design again last night. Most of the important elements of the character I keep, like the goggles, darts, pants (almost Hakama like), etc. This time it is creepier, darker and more menacing. Just like what I actually want the character to be. If you are a beginner, look for more video tutorial on male body, anotomy and such go watch Drawing body muscle torso anatomy tutorial. And Drawing arm muscles bicep tricep There will also be some basic include there. Then you could try out the following tutorial. Anyway, here is my revenge on my own drawing. ANOTHER version (better) of the same charact...

Drawing Anime Girl tutorial quick sketching process A BASIC tutorial on drawing a girl in the manga anime style, this time focusing on simple drawing and coloring techniques. I thought I haven't really done clean vibrant Anime/Manga stylize influence in a while...so I just sketched up one last night.

Sketching background for Manga comics process. There are some request on the subject of the interior background tutorial for comics, manga, and concept. I will admit that it is not really my cup of tea, it took me longer than it should. But I gave it a shot anyway since I have to do a few for the coming panel for Manga comics Kapow Express. Comes to think about it, I haven't done much of the setting tutorial like interior of a building or corridor. Most of the environment tutorial I did was mostly landscape and concept art landscape tutorial (painting Magma river concept), also this one is a little more basic draw and paint landscape technique (mountains, water, sunset theme). One more here is drawing and painting landscape (WaterFall), How to draw and paint snow rocky mountain scenery. The one that I felt it's similar to anything interior or building is Cityscape Environmental tutorials . Also Environmental design sketch one point perspective Anyway, I hope to do more...

Painting over my old anime girl drawing process, girl with guns! This one sketch and quick color of Anime Girl I did a couple years back. And I thought it is a good time to kind of revive and paint over and see what I could come up with. There is something about this color sketch even though it's neither finished nor anatomically 100% correct. It has something that I am fond of, could not pin point what it is. I really have a hard time repainting and reimagining the image as it exist. The process goes really slow, I am struggling to make it look better overall. I could not resist trying to make the face become a little more realistic or render it out. But every time (I did a few versions) I paint over the face, it lost its originality or its identity. Plus, none of them looks as charming. So I decided to leave the face as is for now. Here are step by step of what I did with it Grrrrr.......no so happy here yet. Still to be continued. I wasn't really happy wit...
