-writing while reviewing- OK! here we go! oh and heavy reading content.... That's just me.
biggrin Thumbnails and guidelines! Great tools to use. You're anatomy isn't bad. The chibi is uber cute. Lol. I'm currently viewing the 1st three of you're samples btw. Uhhm, yes. If anatomy is a focus of yours, and I see that you're into anime... Then going to
http://www.bakaneko.com/howto/ is a great place to learn a bit more. But it has to have the /howto/ at the end for it to be the right one. Looks like the 1st bakaneko was a failure so a second was born. lol. Back to art! Since inking is a bit hard for an unsteady hand, you can practice inking with quick strokes. Using your arm more works too, better than getting sketchy lines with the limited movement that your wrist gives you. Honestly, looking at your last samples, you're not bad at much, just practice and experiment with techniques. Shading is basically putting dark where there is no light and putting highlights where there is, but there are in betweens for some types of pictures. The type of shading anime artists use is cell shading, which isn't smooth compare to soft shading, which has the gradient looking shades. Don't use gradients for shading. Shading is defining a shape. Overall, you're good and ready to keep getting better! Good luck!
heart No harshness here. lol.
