Weakamon's Drawings

Hi guys. It's good to be back... I guess haha. Haven't been actively lucid dreaming for two years now. But during that two years, I was able to find new hobbies. And one of them's drawing (which I started to focus on seven months ago). You could say I've somehow improved during that short span of time haha. My drawings' not really that great compared to the others so go easy on me haha. Anyway, I'll try to post as much of my future drawings here to share with you guys my journey towards that level of mastery I'm looking for... and to boost my pitiful ego lol j/k... or am I?.

So uhm, here's my latest finished work:

Here's my gallery just in case you guys are uhm, interested

Here's an update on my current drawing. Normally I'd be rushing the colors of my drawings, but this time, I'm taking my time coloring it. I have a feeling this one's gonna be a breakthrough compared to my other works.

Slowly but surely progressing. I'd like to end the year with my best drawing yet.

Hopefully I'd be able to finish this tomorrow or the day after it. All I need to do now is add the background and tweak some of the existing colors to improve the overall color harmony.

Forgot to update this thread. I was unable to come up with a background so I just added some background lighting.

Spoiler for finished:

Here's a work in progress. I hope to finish this before the new year starts. Knowing how slow I am when it comes to drawing, I doubt I'll be able to finish it but still, I'll try my best. It's supposed to be Ryuko Matoi from Kill la Kill.

Spoiler for Ryuko:

I like you style :) Do you always make these kind of drawings? They look very cute. Keep up the good work! :)

Thanks :) . Yeah I'm kind of into drawing in anime/manga style. But recently, I've been trying to incorporate some realism into my drawings.

Oops, I forgot to update this thread. I lost motivation to color Ryuko so I decided to move on. Anyway, here's an Asuka Soryu sketch I made a week ago:

Practice drawings I did today:

You're really good. I'm a long time fan of NGE though, so I'm gonna be kinda harsh on your Asuka drawing. I feel like The bangs ought to be a bit more pronounced/larger and the face more angular. Something about the facial structure seems a bit off. Nothing is wrong with your drawing ability or skill, but the resemblance is just not quite there. Your Rei in your avatar is pretty close to Rei though, I like it. Overall you've got a really great style though, nice job!

Thanks for the feedback. Glad to meet another Eva fan here in dv. Yeah, I myself thought of the same thing when I finished it. It lacks the fiery/active/aggressive atmosphere Asuka's known to have. Also, I didn't draw my avatar, I just found it in zerochan :P .

Hey weakamon! I didn't know you were an artist. Awesome work, really unique and consistent style. I gave you a watch on deviantart!
Keep posting work, it's really good.

Thanks for the support! Glad you like it. I just checked yours and hot muffins! I really like your matte drawings paintings. That's something I've been trying to get into but alas, I have no idea where to start, or rather, I'm too scared to step out of my comfort zone. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Well the best place to start would be to watch the FZD design cinema videos through.
Probably the single biggest source of information on this kind of art out there.
He (Feng, the guy who does the videos) also talks about what fundamental skills
need to be learned and the best way to go about it, i.e. perspective, lighting, color theory,
values, etc. It's what got me started into concept art back in 2013

Keep up the drawing, you've got one of my favorite styles!
Do you plan on making a career out of it? or keeping it
strictly a hobby?

Thanks for the playlist, will check it out. Hmmm on your question , I'm treating it as a hobby, sort of. But to be honest, I've always wanted to publish a comic(manga to be more specific) ever since I can remember. But I try to hide it since it's highly frowned upon by the online community. It's always pointed out that one cannot simply say that he's interested in making a manga and therefore make one on the get go. It's considered as an insult to the pros out there and the effort required to make one. And somehow I agree with them. Until I achieve the necessary skills and level of mastery I'm looking for, I'll refrain from freely sharing my desire to make a career out of it and lean on my college education(for the time being).

I'm quite satisfied with how this came out.

Anatomy practice. Not that accurate, but at least I'm starting to understand how the muscles are connected to each other.

I really like this thread! You have an interesting style that I really like, a sort of 'realistic anime' (smaller eyes and more accurate proportions, but by no means realism.) Keep up the good work.

Thanks. I'm still adjusting my style but I'm glad you like it. My understanding of proportions needs more improvement hence my recent anatomy drawing.

Tank Tops and some other random drawing.

So jelly. I wish I could draw as good as you. I guess I'm not that far off though. :)

Awesome thread, I really like your style! :)

Good Lord!

I can't even draw a proper circle on a page (even with a mathematical compass :P). Your work is brilliant, obviously better than the best artist in my classroom. Great pieces of art. My best wishes with you! I'd like to see more :D

Thanks. I've seen your works and I do think they have their own charm. Mine is just a simple attempt to stylize while yours is the manifestation of your very thoughts.
