Ever
since I discovered digital stamps by talented artists such as Maurie
Manning, Cheryl Grant and Rick St. Dennis and began creating cards
with them, I've wanted to learn to design my own. But I keep
discovering more wonderful artists and buying more digi stamps, so
I've enmassed a very large collection.
It's
time to try my hand at my own creations so, I bought a couple of
books to get me started. I like the detailed Manga style, originally
created by Japanese artists. The books I am using as my guides are
“Drawing Manga” by Jeannie Lee and “Manga for the Beginner”
by Christopher Hart. I found that basic the Manga body is actually
about the same proportions as figure drawing in general. Of course
there are ages and heights to be considered which can change the
basic build considerably.
Here
are my very first attempts at drawing a preteen boy and girl. Please
feel free to take them and use them, but let me know where I can see
them and please give me credit for the line drawings. I hope you enjoy Ian and Katie!
