My First Attempt At Anime/Manga

[Stormbringer]

This is going to be the last drawing I will be posting for a while( I'm going to be busy the next few weeks and I'm also going to be upgrading my camera and scanner). Anyway, I am currently taking some time to learn the style of anime and manga. I have always admired these two Japanese styles of art, but never really tried it before. This was my first attempt at doing a female character. The character is supposed to be a beautiful peasant girl. I tried to do a slightly different hairstyle than what is typical for conventional anime/manga. Also, I made the character look over her shoulder. In addition, I shaded her a bit to create a little dimension.

Not bad, not bad. You definatley got down the requisite "big eyes" trademark, good on ya'.

Thanks for the kind words Narg and frodo1511! I'm finding that drawing in the anime/manga style is quite interesting and challenging.

Good drawing. The facial features, the hair, everything looks spot on. Keep it up.
