That kinda looks like ange (can't spell ange)

The whole thing with the box can be taken out entirely.

This is rather convoluted for something you can usually freehand really easily...

aznpudding says: Jun 17, 2009. 3:43 PM

interesting technique, but it seems a bit over complicated with all the boxes and x's and lines

No offense, but your manga kinda stinks... Good instructable though for those who do not know how to draw!

I think this is my best. I drew the drawing with pencil, but the coloring was done on a photo editing software. That was done by myself as well. You can see more of my drawings at DeviantART.com.

Mm, sorry, but since your profile says that you are 14 and your name here is "PineapplebobTheGreat" I'm guessing that you're not remy. That drawing is by Remy on deviantart.

Baron A in reply to PineapplebobTheGreatSep 29, 2008. 1:39 PM

Wow that is actually very good. Good job. Just a Q what pencil do you use?

PineapplebobTheGreat in reply to Baron ASep 29, 2008. 2:47 PM

I use different types of pencils, mostly just a number 2. I did use a charcoal stick for the shading.

Someone should make an instructable about drawing anime hands At least for me, the hands are the hardest part of drawing anime Also nice instructable.

Ringo11233 says: Dec 1, 2008. 2:01 PM

i want to know what program u made that character IT is pivot or not?

arrow shot says: Sep 10, 2008. 12:02 PM

i cant focus on 1 drawing for too long so i never use any advanced techniques....so, is this box technique suppose to make your drawing look 3-d ? i just do the face divider technique...simple and effective, good for short doodles

Nice!

Sgtsaddle says: Jul 23, 2008. 7:31 AM

I think the box technique is necessary, if the drawer is of low skill. Excellent!!!

mangadragon says: Jun 28, 2008. 11:14 PM

I also think that the box step is a bit much, and the outline could be smoothed out a bit, but overall, this is quite nice.

Manga eyes are completely up to the will of the creator, just as any drawn object is influenced by ambience, memory, and creativity. First off, there is really no set way to draw, and second, "manga" eyes are any eyes put into a Japanese comic, so, no matter what, they wouldn't be manga eyes anyway.

EnigmaMax says: Mar 14, 2008. 8:07 PM

the box-like technique at the beginning isn't necessary at all...

Knytemere in reply to EnigmaMaxApr 15, 2008. 6:25 PM

True, not really necessary, but it does say "my way to draw anime".

MoreSo says: Feb 15, 2008. 10:55 AM

I liked it a lot, and it introduced me to a great way of drawing that I could only admire before. Now I can draw it.

But I was just wondering if you had taken your images from http://q.webring.com/hub?ring=drawanime or if they had taken these images from you? I'm just curious.

Thanks anyway! ^.
