Here is the video. It doesn’t have much detail, but you can draw along with me if you would like.
Something that will help a lot is practicing drawing one part of a horse. Starting with simple head studies is a good example and may help to build confidence. By breaking a horses body down into shapes, it becomes easier to understand and ‘copy’ the shapes and lines.
One thing I get used to get stuck on all the time was added too much detail. Now, I only draw what is most prominent for a horse, ignoring all those tiny, unnecessary details.
Drawing in the manga-like style is about simplicity to a point. It is not called realism for a reason! (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵) The goal is to be able to draw the same character over and over again efficiently and with less stress to the artist. The same can be said for drawing horses, in a way.
I hope that this helps. If anyone has any questions, I will try my best to answer them!
(It’s kind of a short list, but that’s because I study names from different countries and these are the only categories I know lol)
(THIS JUST IN:
I don’t think it’s called reverse dapples, guys… 👉👈 ))
So…. I may have drawn Chopin as a manga character once upon a time…
@chopinski-official
Did I nail it, or…?
Alright, REQUESTS ARE CLOSED for a bit while I catch up. (Also I got in a weird mood where all I wanna draw is Akutagawa so….)
Thanks!
:+: Request a character :+:
Hello everyone! I am doing a Request a Character thing to give myself a bit of a challenge. My ask box is always open to requests, but I wanted to invite anyone who sees this to feel free to request a specific character from any of the following fandoms I’m in.
-Bungo Stray Dogs
-Hetalia
-Fullmetal Alchemist
-Zelda
-Studio Ghibli
:+: Request guidelines :+:
-Absolutely no nsfw asks.
-I do NOT draw ships. (Not even zelink!!)
-Depending on how many asks I receive, I may not get to yours in a very timely manner. I haven’t forgotten you! If your ask is a bit much for me, I will straight up tell you so you aren’t wondering wether I got it or not. (I am still very limited in what I can do, so please keep that in mind.)
Thank you!
2. All your favorite Zeldas
I actually have very few favourite Zeldas…
Of course, Zelda from Twilight Princess (my favourite game)
And Zelda from Minish Cap.
I do actually like Zelda from SS, but I find her difficult to draw and she isn’t my favourite. Minish Cap Zelda is one of my favourites to draw, actually. ദ്ദി(。•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊
Tried sketching Shad in my art style from the Zelda Twilight Princess manga.
He’s honestly my favourite character. Such an adorable goof!
5. “We’re gonna have to kill this guy” meme with Navi and Link
Well, I tried….
I think I got the wording wrong? I kinda wish I knew more funny memes to draw with my favourite characters that haven’t been used too much.
ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
Ok heres some more drawing requests
1. Navi as a human/korkiri?
2. All your favorite Zeldas
3. All your favorite Links
4. Twilight Princess Link and Midna
5. “We’re gonna have to kill this guy” meme with Navi and Link
6. “Serious meme” with Links
7. Some arson drawing with BOTW Link
8. Skull kid with and without mask
9. The great deku tree cherry blossom version
10. Zelda on the master cycle
That’s it. I’m making this into a ten day Zelda drawing challenge!!! Heck yes!!! ദ്ദി(。•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊
4. Twilight Princess Link and Midna
:+: Finished :+:
This is now the second time I have drawn Midna. Ever. She is really difficult to draw, mostly because of her crown thing. The first time I tried drawing her (which was years ago) I horribly butchered her face, eyes and helmet. After that first failed attempt, I decided to simply never try drawing her (ᵕ—ᴗ—)
However, this time around proved to be a bit easier, mostly because I figured I would go for simplicity instead of trying to sketch every detail of the helmet. I can’t understand how the mangakas of the TP manga were able to draw it in the detail they did through an entire series.
Overall, I am pretty pleased with the outcome! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
:+: Happy Birthday Akutagawa :+:
(The drawings look weird because it’s a deferent paper and filter.)
I would also suggest allowing people to comment on your posts as I was unable to tell you how talented your sketches are. If you keep at it, and your art will know no limits. And I, for one, envy that. There is only so much I can do with 3D.
Thank you very much!
I checked my reply settings and found that they were set to ‘only people you follow can reply.’ I have now fixed this ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ ) I believe it may have been the default setting, as I haven’t had much thought into messing around with this stuff. I am still very new to Tumblr.
Thank you everyone for the lovely asks! I am taking my time with these, but it is really helping me to get faster (and hopefully better) at sketching in general.
