Lost most of my creative ability with a pencil when I started training martial arts and parkour

That is just so cool...

About the file types
I don't really care what types they are.
JPG's are easier if you want to use them as a background or something
Basicly I don't mind, so whatever works best for the others works fine for me

[COLOR=Green]I merged your threads
You can have one big thread with all your art books in it
It's more convenient that 20 different threads

Meri

Lol Wolf
If you really want to put it in the right way
Just say I'm subscribed to this thread
:D

Breakthrough:
I've found my sketchbook <3

Meri

You'll have to wait for a bit then ^^
Today isn't gonna work lol
Might be able to draw something tomorrow
But I still need some inspirtation
Really don't know what to draw

Meri

I'm gonna try some more things before I post some stuff
I'm still having terrible trouble with the eyes
I just can't draw eyes :(
I should spend some time trying to get them right...

Meri

I always make them to small
or too round
or too rectangular
but they never look like normal eyes >.>
even if I get the shape right I'm in trouble with the irises and colour and sigh

Hentai Mark,

lol.[ i love writing hentai in front of your name.]

no problem, its my pleasure. I actually have a friend who loves those artists and am familiar with them. ill def look some stuff up for you and post if i find something good [of course theyre good] ill also post other misc artbooks /traditional artists books too. Not off topic at all- art is art. thanks for the recommendation~

redboi

Meri,

redboi

Tom,

no problem man, i love being able to share things i have. i dont expect anyone to randomly start drawing, BUT if you ever doooo~~ there you have it. :P

For those who are interested in more how-to books, this post is for you. The books range from learning how to draw clothes [drape correctly], making robots, learning in detail how to illustrate women, and even make an animation out of your drawings. Ive also included another book from my childhood, "Japanese Comickers", this book exhibits various artists, ranging from traditional mediums to digital. Its interesting to look at, but the best part [for me anyways] is that toward the end of each section for each artist, there is a mini how-they-did-it sheet. just interesting to see how the pros go about it. anyways. im always too wordy, so here you go. Sorry this one will be very time consuming to download in its entirety. ^u;

How to Draw Manga:

How to Draw Manga. Vol. 0. - Getting started.zip
Getting Started
This book comes before Vol 01. [funny it isnt actually VOL01] anyways, it covers things such as materials, page layout, etc. I would say this is more for people interested in detail, or knowing manga in its completeness, as it is almost a little TOO elaborate. but honestly, thats just my opinion. nonetheless, pretty interesting.

Vol 01 you can get from my other post here for those who havent:
http://www.ftp-anime.com/forum/tutorials-artbooks/105323-artbooks-visual-works-books.html
as well as Vol 6

Vol 02:
How to draw manga. Vol. II. Compiling Techniques.zip
Compiling Techniques
This book focuses more on technical aspects such as zoom lines, curves, and screen tones. Very very technical.

vol 03:
How to draw Manga Vol03.zip
Compiling Practice and Techniques
More. The rest of these art books are more self explanatory from their titles.

vol 04:
How to Draw Manga. Vol. 0. - Getting started.zip
Dressing your Characters

vol 05:
How to draw Manga Vol05.zip
Techniques for Drawing Female Characters. -we all know how hard those curves are. ;]

Vol 06:
above where 02 is.

Vol 07:
How to draw Manga Vol07.zip
Bishoujo Around the World.
more on girls?

Vol 08:
Prohibited Book II [By BolverK].zip
Making Anime
This one is really interesting. Teaches about making an animation out of your artwork, from zooming in, frames [and dif kinds] as well as more complicating things such as timing and panning.

Vol. 09
How to draw Manga Vol.9.zip
Giant Robots.
wonder what this one could be about?

Japanese Comickers:

Japanese Comickers.zip
excellent book, i recommend it.

well. til next time. enjoy~ and sorry for the lack of words. or maybe excess. depending on you.

redboi

you guys are hilarious. anyways you guys are always welcome. and sorry about they mix of pdfs and jpg files. ill try from here on out keep em in pdf is you want. but lemme know what you think, so i can maybe stick to one format. [too bad the huge post i just did...is in both as well] lol. anyway. now i know for future reference.

see you guys around!

and im ecstatic you guys are pining to draw. =u= feel the burn. carpal tunnel here we come~

redboi

Shadow,

very cool. martial arts is great,

i think that would also help alot with drawing things such as action scenes as you know more about them.

well, hope to see your stuff around!

redboi

thanks guys for the help with subscribing, and ahh...hmm..i dont know which to start with. honestly id go with vol1, and dressing chars one. then battles. and then whichever.

redboi

man you guys are great. sorry for the late response [moving places/busy IRL] but its great to know you guys are drawin. Just keep trying Meri, im sure theyre coming along just fine! It takes a while to get em right. I sometimes end up making them crooked/unlevel right off the bat. :P but practice makes improvement right? well ill keep and eye out for your guys' art work in the fanart section! Hope to see your stuff too Hyper Shadow~

redboi

oh old wolfy~

:D i look forward to your works as well! fret not.

and all you need is pencil and paper. its all good!

redboi

sorry guys i havent posted much, but heres a little something to keep it going:

these are CG/ computer painting tutorials:

PSG Art tutorial

this one is great for people who need to learn the fundamentals of shadows/lighting, and overall texturing. It scrolls down, so dont be offset by the text block at the top of the page.

Second:

Tutorial by Studioqube

- StudioQube Painting Tutorial -

personally i love this tutorial. it has so much to offer. It teaches you how to get from cleaning up the linework to the finished product! Its very proffessional looking, and in anime style, for those who are interested.

take a look, its great stuff! see you guys around!:m-bata:
