Now I Draw

By mugen shiyo · Jun 15, 2012 · 515 · 2
  1. My little brother is the artist...I like to write. I once asked him to draw some characters for me. He said he would but never got around to it so I decided to draw my own myself. At first they were ridiculous looking, but as I kept drawing and drawing them they began to look better and better. I realized I could actually draw pretty well with practice.

    Now I drew some of the characters for my story. It's one thing to imagine them but it's quite another to see them before you. Sometimes I came up with totally new characters trying to draw others that never came out right. As of now I only really draw the faces. I noticed I'm exceptional with eyes. I want to get good enough to draw really detailed faces but I think I heard that a good writer leaves a little wiggle room by not over-detailing so I'll lay off that.

    Long story short, I can draw now. I won't be making any anime's anytime soon, but just being able to see my characters was kind of a cool gift. I've hung them up on my walls.

    Congratulations!
    All professionals started beginners once. A lot of people say that to others, don't they? It's quite encouraging ^^

    I think I'm on the same boat as you, sailing to the same destination. I myself, want to be able to draw what I imagine/see so badly that I did try 2 years ago although of course, at the beginning all of my draws were extremely bad and with the frustration I decided to give up. Returned to drawing recently because I finally realized that it's just a matter of staying focused and keep walking on the road and my draws keep getting better and better. I'm still not able to draw what I imagine and still have a lot to improve but I am sure that eventually I'll be able to draw well.

    Anyway, congratulations and if you ever create a manga post it, I love to read them ^^

    Great stuff! A picture tells a thousand words.
    I draw pictures for the highlights of my stories too. It's an invaluable tool especially if you write for the young.
    Welcome to the club! If you nurture and hone the skill, you won't regret it.
