Lose him? Oo hu ho...

Yeah I'm bad at perspective too, it's like my kryptonite and nemesis all in one...

[sweet_gardenia]

You'd think big as he is that'd be harder to do! Oh man and tell me about it. But I've seen your sketches, you do way better than I :D

[kineko]

Maybe with a keychain, it wouldn't happen (and noooow, I'm imagining Sheldon with a keychain fixed on the top of his head XD)
Improving my perspective is one of my goal for the mango, I'm really really trying to make more or less believable architecture... and then dump everything to put the story into a bayou...

[sweet_gardenia]

Hahah boop-boop! Oh there he is! XD

I think you are doing a fine job and do please keep up the good work!

Google sketchup? Never tried it myself, but it sounds good.

[sweet_gardenia]

I have heard of that. Might try it if I decide to redo these pages. Thanks for the tip! :3

There's this awesome book I borrowed from the library called Drawing Shortcuts by Jim Leggitt. It's written from the point of view of an architectural artist, and he's got all kinds of tips for drawing buildings, how much detail you want to put into them to convey what you need to convey, and how you can pull together photo references and stuff to make a good setting or concept drawing.

I didn't finish it because I had to return it, and parts of it are a little dated (photocopiers? really?) but you might see if you can find a copy.

Oh man thank you for the book recommendation Del-Chan! I am always on the look out for more good drawing books :D I'll poke around for it!

[tinkerbelcky]

Oooooh, foreboding. O_O You're doing a great job setting up the tension, my interest is piqued to see what's going to hit the fan.

[sweet_gardenia]

Tinkerbelcky!!!! Hiiiii! I have missed your sexy fun pirate boy this go round will we see him anytime soon? :P also thank you so much.

There will be a LOT hitting the fun oh don't you worry hoh-hoh *plotting hands*

[adifferentdrum]

Yeah yeah. It's all mutually agreed the perspective's off BUT THIS IS MANGO. You kinda learn as you go. Might I recommend Perspective For Comic Book Artists by David Chelsea? I own it and it's a fantastic book. It takes a couple reads but it's written LIKE a comic so you can actually see the examples as he explains them. :3 I freaking love this book. @_@

ALSO OH NUUS DRAMATIC CHIPMUNK. DUN DUN DUUUUUNNNNN~ ^O_O^

[sweet_gardenia]

Yaaaayyy more book goodness! *bookmarks it like a boss* Yeah perspective and me have always been nemesises..sesi...whatever so glad for anything that will help. Doing this comic might even help me get better in that regard

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IDK
