I have a problem with drawing bishies. They always end up looking like tomboy girls Laughing

I like to look at other manga with things or characters I don't usually draw. The more you work on your weaknesses the faster you'll overcome them. Also try real life photographs or pictures to learn from for scenery or action films and anime/manga for those type of scenes.


I used to have a big problem at drawing peoples profiles (looking to the side) so i kept trying it until I got better. Same with hands and feet..(the bane of my existence) but drawing class helped me for that one.

and to add....theres nothing wrong with a cute yaoi scene but check the rules first on the really hot full on scenes!

also i would like to see that yaoi... [email protected] tee hee hee!

Also to anyone else who is going to try here good luck (casts charm on ANN)


I learned to draw expressions by flipping through FAKE for wild takes and drawing my OC with the same expressions. Before that, my kyara always looked like heartless dolls.

For those of you who don't think you have the drawin' chops, I recommend reading Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. I'm only about halfway through it and I'm already noticing some great improvement.

Sorry, Viga, I haven't drawn any yaoi and even if I had some, I wouldn't be able to send it, since I'm typing this up on a WebTV box. But if you'd like to see a few samples of my artwork, you can see 'em here. http://www.kimyouteki.net/Gallery


that same book was recommended at school one time but until now i didn't remember the book. Thanks.
