Eddy´s Sketchbook

[Cyprinus]

Ah, the woes with comic covers...I feel you. For my current project I kept on thinking over months about the cover...now I finally have an idea I think I might like enough to actually draw and paint it. Don't even talk about the scrapped versions in between...
Yeah, I think the roughness about the art is what I also really like about it. My friend showed me a mini artbook with all the covers in it and some additional illustrations, and it's a welcome change from the usual rather clean styles you often find in in Manga these days. And don't worry about ranting when it comes to Manga, you can always rant about Manga to me XD I'm afraid though I don't know much about most stuff, because I only read very few these days.

Thank you for sharing those steps! I really like how you did the hair, and she has a cute face! I know what you mean about those artists who can mix anime and reality well. It's something I'd like to do as well, and when it comes to digital I think the use a lot of soft edges. And when I paint faces, I always have the impression that I tend to add too much detail still.
Good luck with the CHOW! I kind of like the fist one most of the coloured ones. (The right one looks like he is wearing shorts which gives me a bit of a comedic impression). Curious to see what you're going to make out of it!

I feel this is a very long and pointless comment orz
