Any Advice would be greatly appreciated...[picture]

Just a quick sketch for a manga that my sister and I are working on, I'd love to hear some advice on my drawing, so any comments would be appreciated! ^_^ Thank you!

ps, please view sketch number one as well, I am more proud of that one

In my opinion I love the texture on the clothing, and the steam eminating from the (I'm assuming) coffee in the mug. The face is somewhat freaking me out though (I think its the position of the nose in contrast to the position of the eyes)

thank you! advice noted down

I'd advice you to concentrate on nailing the bare body shape before drawing the clothes (and hair) on top of it -- if you draw your clothes right off the bat, you may find that the body might warp slightly... It's best to think of it in layers, and start with the "innermost" parts first, then slap on the layers as you go

 

[jessiemai]

hey thanks, that's a good idea! I do it already to an extent, but not between skin and clothes...:]

yeah i agree with those guys, it's just basic proportion and body shape you need to focus on really then move on to clothing and colours.

unfortunetly proportion and a convincing body are very hard to master i know i haven't mastered them yet but stick at it.

I think you have your own style which is good.
For some basic and free help you might want to have a look on a website like this: The Manga University
Look to the lessons section

I like your picture but you should work on your line quality and proportions
