Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

When I started drawing for Gaia, I came back to draw anime style, what I haven't done for years. That's funny, because I started to learn drawing seriously at about age 11 with Sailor Moon. Then I drew animes like Neon Genesis Evangelion and tried to copy the style of different mangaka. It took me about two or three years to learn to draw real humans, with healthier proportions.
Now I'm trying to turn back to the roots.

1. coffee-mug

This was my first request. Funny, because I had most feared to draw anime faces again. She made that so easy for me. I am pleased with the paper bag on her head, but if I would change it now, I would shade the throusers better. They look terrible...

2. Mizz Faith

This is my second Gaia picture (I left out my signature, which I have done before). I tried to make it in the style of Naoko Takeuchi, and I like the friendly expression.

3. KendoGurl

If I would do this again, I would choose less simple colors. "Playing around, in a forest" was the request. I tried to give her a childish look, and to make the picture happy. I am yet not very pleased with this.

4. JupiterDragon

I hate drawing men!!! I never could. Never. They always looked feminine to me. Well I hope this one doesn't. The picture reminds me of some computer game illustration. I wanted it to look powerful and "cool". He has it in his signature and I'm happy about that. So he likes it. ^^


Besides, none of these pictures was sold for more than 2200.
