Welcome to Gaia! ::

UPDATE~♫ (x2!)


Fixed up his hand and face and tweaked a few other things as well.
I'm pretty happy with it at this point but am looking for advice on anything that looks super wrong still that I may not be seeing.

A big, big thank you to everyone that's been helping me on this thus far ^_^/


Here, a bit of colouring~

I like doing shading, but I hate doing highlights on skin as it always looks messy and uneven :T
Ah, well.




UPDATE~♫



I changed his knee up. Lookin' better, methinks. The foot was given a little bit of tweaking but I'm still having issues with the ankle-heel bit. Redlines, yes?
Redid the entire forarm so that it'd look more relaxed but the hand is shifty, no? Anyone have suggestions/redlines to help? ;w;

Still working on the other arm and have yet to touch his face, but just wanted to know about that hand and if the leg is lookin' a tad bit swankier?

biggrin /♥








I've finally decided on a title for a bit of a manga/graphic novel that's been swimming about in my head for the last year or so and decided to celebrate by drawing the main character, Yuma.



Just a sketch for now, but curious to see if anyone has suggestions on what could be tweaked up a bit.

I'm currently thinking about making the face longer. His hands and body are too big for his small face.
Probably going to redo his right hand and forarm so that it's more relaxed and perhaps holding something.
His neck area in general seems messed up but I think I'll just be crafty and hide it all behind a mess of hair. Since I'm cool like that.
Does the left shin seem too long?
I tried comparing the two shins in size and they seem pretty similar. I ight trim a tiny bit of it off... I haven't decided yet.
The angle of the left foot and where the knee seems to be pointing doesn't match up well either, but I'm at a loss how to fix it :T Help on that especially would be loved.

He's supposed to be hunching forwards a tiny bit, which can't really be seen too well, huh?
I'm hoping that when I colour and shade him in it'll be more obvious.

Anything else that I seem to be missing that's blaringly wrong?

everything looks really good. it looks like hes like on an ilsand or something? i dont know but if he is and there was like a shipwreck or something have the clothes ripped and if hes not on an island sweatdrop hehe srry. everything looks like amazing!! biggrin

You've got this under control. XD I agree about his face needing to match the proportions of the body; I disagree however about his shin being too long. That's just how you've positioned the foot, and it looks fine.
The knee-to-foot angle is off, you're correct. I'm thinking if you don't want to redraw the entire leg, play with that little crecent-moon-shaped groove right below his knee. Changing it's size and direction might correct the problem without having to redraw the entire leg.
If you wanted to redraw that entire leg, it would be a matter of changing the perspective on the foot, so you were looking at the foot more from the side instead of the top. But that would get troublesome really fast, and lose some of the laid-back nature of the piece.

Nope, I could tell you wanted him to be hunched from the length of the arms, but it's hard. Something about his elbow height is off. I know it's perspective, and that makes his elbow-to-hand area shorter...but you may want to check that against how you want him crouched.

Bit of an update in the first post.
Please help?

....you've saved my foot ;w;
Thank you!

As for the hand not really sitting on anything, yeah, I know xD I was going to draw the box a little bigger once I got into the red thing, I just threw a box under him for something for him to sit on while I drew the sketch of him, so ^^;
That hand will probably be worked over a bit like my last one...


Thank you! ;w;♥

A July 6th update in first post~

I wanna give a big thank you to everyone that's been helping me with this ^_^/♥♥♥

That entire arm in general has been bothering me and I've been at a loss on how to fix it. I'll try tinkering with the wrist and see if that makes the over-all arm look better.

Thank you! ^^/♥
