So, I'm not the type of person to follow many teenager comics (Shonen mangas), but there are a few I like to read, and among them there's History's Strongest Disciple: Kenichi


Since the fanart sub forum seems to have disappeared, I'm posting this fanart in here, and not only for that, but because I need some feedback on the drawing itself.

Here it is:
User Image

At the beginning I was trying to draw Kenichi's arm with a fist pointing towards the viewer, but then I decided to draw him with his hand opened instead because that's one of his poses.

With Miu, I had a bit of problems since her poses are more gymnastics, graceful and flexibles than Kenichi's, but maybe she looks a bit too stiff?

Now, for the background.

I was originally going for the all the main characters piled up behind them, but the image would seem too crowded so I forgot that idea and stuck with something more simplistic.

What do you think would suit them better?

I think I found it funny how Kenichi always wore a bandaid like it was a fashion statement, lol. But yeah, Miu does seem perhaps a bit too stiff for her character. Maybe the hand near her butt could be open rather than a fist, or that arm could be a bit farther from her body or something... I dunno, it looks like that's where most of the stiffness is coming from. Nice picture.

i think the guy looks great, but something about the girl seems a little off. I think it's the way her kicking leg is positioned; or rather the way her hip is positioned in relation to her kicking leg. I think her butt needs to be pointing a little more towards the viewer - angled up a bit more, so to speak. i hope that makes sense. lol

Kenichi looks good but like yeah like everybody else said she seems a bit off like her arm facing us seems a bit short to me and her leg also looks dislocated ish so maybe try repositioning it a bit? O nO if im making any sense at all haha oh yeah Miu's breast are way bigger than those man > n>
way way bigger ahahah
but yeah keep up the good work its nice to know there are other HSDK fans out there

Whoa.O_O
I'm stunned by the poses you chose.OuOb

Well, maybe have Miu's hands open, like karate hands, fingers spread out or close together, it's your call. Bend the arm facing viewers a bit more to the left...
I agree with what the rest had said.

Oh my, thank you all for your great feedback.

I knew there was something off but couldn't point it out, I'll make the suggested changes as soon as I can.

Oh and about her breasts...I wanted to mix both the author's and mine styles combined, but I can't draw giant boobs like him, it would ruin the flow of the picture. gonk
