Basic Assignments-manga
Manga characters are made of basic geometric shapes, the more you know how to put those together in your mind, the better you will be able to draw them.

A good practice to drawing better manga characters is with still life.

1. Draw an egg with all angle, under a single light source.

The egg shape represent the basic shape of the face, once you get the egg shape down and you are able to imagine it in your mind in all angle, you are one step closer being able to do manga face in all angles.

2. Then draw a cone or triangle like shape in all different angles. If you can't find those, get a mug, with handle, and draw it in all different angles
Article-Popularity contestMayshing: The popularity contest topic  comes up again, and again, I feel I should share this information that I wrote about the REASON behind any popularity contest in the artistic world on DA.

Once you understand the logic behind how a human mind works, I hope artists will pay less mind to these games that WILL NOT stop bothering them, and just let it go and NOT LET IT bother them.... go to make good art with ease, let's promote art others fail to see, lets make the community better as a whole.

1. The reality of Brand name

Every business men and women would know it... artists' name and their product name become their brand name.

Patient Question:
What are drafting pencils? or.. How are they different from regular pencils? Are they recommended?


Staff Advice:

:iconship-wreck:
Hello and I'm from the Hospital. I'm here to answer your questions!

Drafting pencils are pencils of different consistancies. A lot dont have erasers (the mark, once drawn, is hard to erase anyways) They are mainly used for shading, realistic drawings, or landscaping. Personally, I dont reccomend them. (The softer ones smear and if you get finger oils on them, you have no chance in hell of erasing it....not like you had much of a chance anyways XD ) But if you are into the three categories I said, you should try them, they might help, they might not ^^;

drafting pencils are not only woodcase/soft lead/eraserless pencils. depending on the person referring to the pencil or brand of said pencil, a drafting pencil could mean a leadholder/clutch type, the mechanical pencils with lead hardness windows and lengthened lead sleeve at the tip for stencil/ruler use, or lumograph woodcase type.

as long as you have a comfortable pencil with a lead hardness you like, its all good. make sure to also have a good standalone eraser-i prefer vinyl-it works really well on all lead hardnesses with minimal 'crumbs'.

experiment with different lead hardnesses and pencils, whether woodcase, mechanical or lead holder, and see what suits you hand and style best.
