Wow. Your art is amazing. I really like your background example. I can't do backgrounds for my life. Your character designs are very good, as well.

Even if it's "camp," it's very... very awesome. XD Did you do this with a graphics program or actual pencils? If you did this with pencils, I just have to know... What are your scanner settings? XD Nah, joking, I'm joking! Though it'd be nice. XD

I like how you draw face. It's beautifully drawn even when it's not following the mainstream anime look. Your proportion is also just right for drawing bishoujo.

The guy at the first image still looks like a girl though. You might want to use less angular/curving lines when drawing guys, and opt for more edged/rough lines instead^^

Scanning process:

Indeed, my males need work. I'll practice on it some more. Thanks for the tips

[N0UGHTS]

I love you.

Well, aside from that, I think you can actually get away with the males (especially with the ladies :p) by saying he's a teenager and therefore not a man. But do whatever you want. That's what I do!

Hint: smaller eyes can make a bishounen look like he actually has testosterone. XD
Compare:
Manly-ish | That's a boy?!

Hey doom, you're back! Your art is great.

To go offtopic... you made it through camp okay?

Blue123: Thanks, and yeah, I'm alive. Put on some muscle, too, so I guess it came with a few benefits. Thanks for asking.

NOUGHTS: After being able to draw males and females perfectly, it's time to practice drawing TRAPS!

After being able to draw males and females perfectly, it's time to practice drawing TRAPS!

BUT I'm not convinced. Prove by posting a 'perfect male' drawing here. perfect male, wtf?

Muscles that will quickly degenerate if you stay still with desk job (draw design design). Do you work out often?

[Doomfest]

Raide: It's a misunderstanding if you interpreted that as me flaunting an ability to draw both sexes perfectly. I am far from that and never meant it that way. I meant that practice for drawing traps should be the kind of gender-based training I will embark on after gaining the ability to draw both sexes reasonably well.

Three times a week.

Ah, once again I failed to make clear of my statement that it's actually a joke. have to remember putting some smilies next time

To add masculine element to your guy drawing, I suggest to analyze and practice from real-life portrait of various kinds of stereotype: nerdy, celebrity, grunt; to various face shapes: square faced, round faced; to hairstyle: short, cropped, long, etc; and then make the simple or anime version of them. At least, that's what I did.

You're back! How are you? Doing fine?

Due to crappy internet connection, I can't see your pictures but I already know they are going to be great anyway. I can't wait to see them in PC with faster internet connection ^_^

Muscle, eh? Whatever I do I can't seem to get any. Anyway, good to hear you're well.
