lol I was never any good at drawing big manga eyes either, I'm only good at drawing highly unattractive or cartoony looking people XD I really enjoyed seeing you and En redo Mimi's page, they look so interesting! And that was a great song to wake up to this mornintg (well, 'wake up', I guess I mean prepare for the day ahead). You always have refreshing Radio 6 choices in music! <3
I don't think I'd use the term 'highly unattractive' to describe your work. its more like comparing the difference between the pretty and delicate style of mainstream (shojo) manga to your flowing, energetic and expressive cartoons. There's definitely something really good you've picked up from the pacing of manga but not necessarily from the tools or style thats most widely used. (I hope that makes sense ... I don't think I'm good at describing what I mean
( ... )
hehe don't worry, I'm only joking around! XD I actually find cartoonish artwork to be more attractive then the 'prettier' mainstream styles, I find them more charming ^_^ Although I do find it more fun to draw 'unattractive' people (or people with weird features haha!!) Nope I know what you mean, after reading comics from all over the world I admit I still find the typical pacing and panelling of japanese comics to be the most enjoyable for me, it flows so much better, and I put that into my art ^^; It's weird, a lot of people when they describe my work say it has a 'European' feel, although I'm still mostly artistically influenced by Japanese artists, it just happens they have slightly more cartoony styles, like Toriyama and Tezuka ^^; Of course I read so many comics from all over the world now, but I can't shake off the influences of stuff I read as a kid =3
