I have to say, your sketches are becoming better!The line-art you made the past few days are a whole lot more detailed and preciese. Good work^^ I've been watching ya for months and I can see how well you're improving through-out the times. He looks perfectly lustful and cute.^^
Can't wait until you color this one!


and yes.. Juanes is awesome I love all his music!

That is VERY helpful to hear!
I think what helped me was sketching, then getting other opinions.
Also, I've become a little better at planning out my poses in more detail.
I haven't had to reference a "How to Draw Manga" book in over a month now.

Well I've noticed your improvement too
Particularly with your coloring skills!
You are getting alot better with your characters too.
I suppose the manga you're doing is helping a great deal as well

You know of him too?! GOD his songs are AMAZING!!!!
I pulled lyrics and translations on some of them and I LOVE them!!!! So deeply meaningful!!!!

You're very much welcome!
That's true, easier to plan out poses in detail. Its the over-all practice and progress you've overcome^^ great work

Yay! toss those things out! lol I think i would be better if i did use some references when I first started lol

Thank you very much!!!

Yeah! I think I first heard Juanes in like my 7th grade... somewhat long time fan hehe and yes the lyrics are very beautiful. I'm hispanic and i actually rarely like any of the latin music in general only juanes and maybe a slim few others have seem to take my liking

"Luna de todas las noches
Ilumíname esta noche
Dime si ella es la reina
Y la dueña de todo mi amor Luna"

Gotta love these songs ...

Back to artwork: this is simply FABULOUS! Look at what you did! I can't believe how good you managed to get in such a short period of time! This is GREAT!!!

I can't wait for the colored version of this ^^ (I picture him with whater dripping off his hair ... :droll: _{OH GOD! Bad toughts, go away, good taughts, come back or I'll make you pay!}

(saving the critic option for when you're done with it ^^)
(oh, and if you need any help with photoshop, don't hesitate to ask ^^ - I'll be more then happy to help you out )

It certainly is!!

LOL! I use references like CRAZY! I can't be bothered with remembering soooooo many details on every character!
Ulquiorra is the only one I can EASILY draw from memory.
I could probably easily draw Gin from memory too

Really? I know...I live where I hear a LOT of the horrible latin music...doesn't sound too good.
But when I heard Juanes, I got SERIOUSLY addicted!!

Is that so? heh heh I'm downloading programs to try and teach me Spanish.
I'm SO picky though...I want to speak it the Spain Spanish way
I know...I'm being such a snob ::lowers head in shame::

I must've been living in a cave or something!
I only JUST found out about his music!
But I LOVE it!!

OOOHHHH That would be a VERY good test of my skills!!!! I might actually do that! Thank you for the suggestion!!!!

Critique when I'm finished?! Gah! I don't know if I want to get critiqued at that point since I don't like finding out things too late to do anything about it.

I think I have a keen memory on things of remembering detail once i get it memorized anyways just like Axel.. i got it memorized (cosplayed him few years ago too lol)
from the espada and aizen-tousen-gin I think i only don't recall how to draw Barragan and Zomari... Just haven't really done any work with those at all what so ever =/

Yep! Juanes just has a calm soothing music, very talented and beautiful lyrics^^ talented musician, he was in a rack band in the 90's before he went solo~

Hahaha! Yeah the Spain Spanish is more clean and has slight different pronunciation and grammar but the basic text is the same. Also more romantic^^
I'm just familiar with Mexico's Spanish. I think I spent about 10 summers over there when I was little. I'm forced to speak Spanish at home, sometimes, rarely parents speak in English to us...

And nah, you like me and all other humans just have preferences.

glad I could help

hmm ... in this case ... how about when you start coloring? Like when youre halfway threw it all? That way I can see where everything is going and you can still chnage things if it's necessary (though I doubt it)
