I like your way of thinking.

I'm not into cutsie poopsie anime style either with HUGE eyes, head, tiny body, etc. I do like anime drawings(but not my favourite)but I like them more realistic.
Like [url=http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/4353/63522006.png]this drawing of the Dreamy Ghost I'm working on at the moment[/url]. I'll probably submit this one on Basil next week. It's still unfinished...XP
I'm much more into drawing landscapes and still-life but I guess it doesn't hurt to try something new. Sorry to hear you don't like anime style drawings.

By the way thank you for giving me advice on my Tablet. Actually that drawing is the very first drawing I did with my tablet+pen tool. Since it's pretty much my first time drawing on a computer, it's taking too long...>_>

If I'm not lazy while drawing I will be lazy when doing my homework :[. I HAVE TO SET MY PRIORITIES :[.

@Skyenets: >:l don't be lazy

[quote=Lanique]*clap clap clap* I think you can work even more on that one! Remove the sketch, add some more contras, refine the edges![/quote]

I would but, LAZY :{.

[quote=KonataAT]I really wish I could do realism.
Some of the artists I know say if you do anime you cant do realism, and vise versa.
I don't think its an issue of can or cant, but rather an issue of difficulty.
I'll try ~_~[/quote]

Hmmm I thought it was people who can do realism can also do anime I mean anime isn't really difficult, or maybe it's just me.
I think most artists started out drawing anime (Including myself, shame shame shame)

Real like this?

[quote=GenuineLaughter]Ah...I remember the time when I was an anime artist. I looked at all the anime drawing tutorials--and in the end, the marionette like figures did not satisfy me.

Anime artists without a background knowledge of RL anatomy will find it hard to make poses look natural. So go study some realism before working on your own style of art. I know many great anime artists out there that are proficient in real life drawing as well! I suggest doing portraits of people from your favorite live action/reality shows. That way you know you aren't doing something right when you can't recognize the face.[/quote]

That's a really good tip there

[quote=OhKristi]I'm in the process of transferring to a more realistic.. anime.. style.
Not too cartoony, but not so realistic either. Know what a'm sayin'?[/quote]

I feel you man.

I draw to escape reality. T_T

I'll try! But I just finished drawing something today, in one day. Usually it's over a course of a few months, so I'm art-drained. D:

I will try though!

[quote=Skyenets]Tried to go for some more realism. I screwed it over by the trash surrounding it 8D.

I thought of the Telephone music video when I saw this. Reality strikes! :x

[quote=Lanique]YAY at everyone who's gonna try I know it takes alot more time and work and it might feel a bit awkward at first, but this should be interesting

I see... that's probably how alot of people think, but to me that's exactly why it's so fun! It's so different from these chubby little chibi pixels, It's fun to see what maple would look like realistically Don't you think it would be fun to try?

Hmm.. it's more cartoon-ish, but the big eyes, lineart and stuff, I'd categorize it under anime D:

I love your style! D: You should draw something for basil, the more different styles the better!

But I need mine D:

I was never counting you as anime artist [/quote]

just tryin' to get some attention xD
oh, but I do do a lot of anime work.

[url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/cheerupemokidx/ponydraw.bmp]I did this in art class in school like, 8yrs ago[/url]. I can't draw faces which is why I stick to furry art and animals.

I wish I could draw as well as my aunt does

i can't do realism
i'm like realism impaired
BUT i'll try
is it okay if i add a little hint of anime, though? :c

[quote=Kynim]IS MY ART TOO KAWAII FOR YOU?

...I kid. As fun as that challenge would be, I tend to categorize my realistic and cartoony styles...especially for maple, I draw stuff more closely to the official maple style so it does look rather anime-ish I suppose.[/quote]

i must draw myself With Lanique

I prefer cartoon-y style, but not anime I also think it's fun to portray cartoons in a more 'realistic' style. I still struggle with actual realism though The only way I can actually achieve it to an extent is by hand, with pastels.

That's really good D: If only it were bigger. @carrot, get a scanner.

[quote=Satellite][b]1.[/b] There's a problem, anime drawers can't or just don't do realistic drawings, while realism drawers don't do maple drawings. I'm one of those realism artists, but I have no motivation to do something about MS.

Those drawings are amazing..

@cheesie, you remind me of a lot of people that I watch on dA. Do you have one?
I can't help but draw anime. It's just in my blood.

Im working on an Anakin Skywalker portrait o.e but Id never post anything here A) cause I dont draw maple things B) everyone is EXTREMELY critical.

My art is beyond realistic.

Uhmmm, well I dont have time to start a new realistic drawing right now, but I've drawn realism before.
Oh wait, Im not an anime artist :[
Ah well, someone just told me to look at this thread.

Its not that easy for me but you can try it,its always fun to try different styles.

It's not easy as you may think a lot of people have the ability to do...I tried doing a self portrait of myself but my right eye ended up being overly drifted away from my nose. >_> (I was doing this traditionally BTW!)

I can do both (there are some examples in my thread) but "cutsie poopsie" ones are faster and more fun for me.
I'm a lazy person, yes I am.

Eeh, I spend too much time doing big eyes. I guess I can change for a few screens..

[quote=Lanique]You should at least try! Uhm.. honestly I don't think mister basil would do such a thing without valid proof.

Can't wait to see some of it

actually im busy with some art classes in college now, this may enblock my artist's block ^^
