Let's see, I've dropped the whole manga/anime style and I'm trying to pursue a more American style, though still heavily stylised. Perhaps try to emulate J Scott Campbell, who does some wonderful artwork.

I'm a bit annoyed at this very moment. Up until about a week ago, my anatomy was going well (as far as my poor skill level is concerned ) and now for some reason it feels like it's simply vanished and I'm having a hard time with it. Hope it's just a phase, I've had alot of them.

2. Draw shapes when doing unfamiliar poses (preferably do shapes when doing familiar poses too).
3. Remember anatomy.
4. Draw a full practice sheet once a day.
5. Do different poses.
6. Don't slope the shoulders too much.
7. Don't draw the body too elongated.
8. Midsection = small.

Apologies to anyone whose made a comment and I haven't replied. I've been rather busy this last week or so. Especially when I had to reinstall windows.

Problem now is though, I haven't drawn for so long, I have to get back into practice... It's days like this I feel like just giving it all up

So I'm going to cheer myself up with some Setsuko pics, with thanks to Zeto for getting me motivated with her again.

So consider my first week of pictures to below my normal standard (yeah, pretty low, I know )

---------

And now Windows breaks down, forcing me to spend a day reinstalling it and everything else...

This has been a baaaad week.

Think I went a little crazy there. Anyway, enough of that. Roll on the sci-fi/fantasy stuff.

Not much else to say. ]]> ~Bonjman http://Bonjman.deviantart.com/journal/10016386/ http://Bonjman.deviantart.com/journal/10016386/ Sat, 09 Sep 2006 06:32:17 PDT
It's now become one of my more favourite Sci-Fi. Not THE most favourite, but a favourite none the less.

Oh and I really must give kudos to those who designed the ships. They are perhaps the best ship designs outside of anime, at least in my personal opinion.


Latest Annoyances:
My rubbers*, pens and pencils keep on going missing!

*that's erasers to the US folk on this site, just so there isn't any misfortunate misunderstandings. ]]> ~Bonjman http://Bonjman.deviantart.com/journal/9986376/ http://Bonjman.deviantart.com/journal/9986376/ Wed, 06 Sep 2006 09:47:32 PDT
I'm currently working on two fancomics. One being a light hearted, not so thought out, little action comic (of which I've recently been posting concept art for) and the other a Girl!Doctor comic based around the universe of Doctor Who. It's the Girl!Doctor comic I'm focusing most of my attention and effort on.

As for my chosen art style, I got into anime along time ago. Of course, time is relative, so that could mean anything from two years to a hundred. I wouln't classify myself as an anime fan though. This last year, the only new Anime I've seen its Full Metal Panic, generally preferring the older 90's/80's releases. Also I tend to prefer Manga to Anime, especially when it comes to artwork.

Let's quick fire:-

I like starships, cool starships. Big robots, not so much.

I'm guilty of enjoying Glen A Larsons creations.

Sci-fi wise I enjoy Doctor Who, Firefly, the Star Trek TOS movies, Blake's 7, Babylon 5, Back to the Future movies and more. ]]> ~Bonjman
