You've inspired me so much, that I'm now learning how to use Sai~ <3

Drew this on paper first then took a picture and made this of it with Sai:

And then, to practice, I tried to copy this:



And I did this:

Do you have any advice for a noob such as me?

Please accept my as your disciple! orz

Yay, I'm glad to know that I ~~inspired~~ someone!
It seems like you kinda know how to deal with shading since your light source is somewhat consistent! I think, though, you shouldn't trace anime pictures if you want to improve. Work on the fundamentals/basics! There's a lot of generic artist advice out there and there isn't really anything new I can say, hahaha; all that generic advice is true: draw everyday, challenge yourself, study realism (by looking at something that interests you and taking note of it), bring a sketchbook around, don't limit yourself, everyone goes through crap drawings before they start drawing well, take drawing classes, etc. I don't follow some of the advice myself, but I try to (heck, some of my drawings are still crap at this age).

Uhh, not sure what the other one is, but I mean by putting the original under and tracing over it on a different paper/layer. You can trace realistic stuff, but anime stuff won't let your art improve~~

Calque tracing is doing what you described except you do it with transparent paper. So basically I'll keep drawing anime for now, since there's nothing real I can draw around (especially since I don't go outside much).
Thanks for everything!

I'm real. And I'm in your house too. I'm underneath your bed sheets, I'm inside every crack of wood that's on the floor. I'm inside you as well.

B-but! It's under me!

All you need to do now is to go to Uranus and discover it's mysteries! *wink* *wink*

It came out really cute! :3

@ Prinz: Tracing =/= Drawing. She said tracing real stuff will help, but not tracing anime e.e

[Kazu731]

Tracing is the same thing as being a human copy machine except an imperfect one.
