Topic #1: The female body

The purpose of this thread is for members to display any sketches they have drawn of the female body here, for everyone to see. If you have a piece of work you wish to present, or simply want to comment on another member’s work- please stick to these simple rules.

Rules

You may post comments of other people’s work here, but please make it helpful criticism rather than pointless remarks (such as “that’s great”).

The work you display must be of a certain quality. This means no 30 second doodles or amusing stick men- your work must be at least a simple drawing. Although please note that despite the fact that artwork is referred to as “sketches”, you may post complex masterpieces if you wish.

Display all your work in one post, unless you want to show a decent sketch and you cannot edit your last post. This means that if you are drawing a series of sketches, you should wait until you have completed them all to make a post, rather than make a new post every time you complete a drawing. This is regarded as spam.

All of the sketches must be your own work! If you wish to show some artwork that has inspired you or may help others, you may do so- but only if you clearly state that it is not your work.

--------------------------

Topic related rules:

You are allowed to post nude sketches, but ONLY if you display a warning first. Do not use tags for nude drawings.

I drew this picture this morning. It is of a manga woman leaning against a wall. The clothes were inspired by [url=http://www.noos.org/anime/evangelion/misato/misato1.jpg]misato[/url] from evangelion J

Helpful information

If you are having trouble drawing the female figure, How to draw manga have a great tutorial. Even if you don’t like drawing manga, the tutorial is still extremely helpful. You just don’t look at the “faces” part :laugh:
 
im gunan have a go i did one earlier cos i jsut heard this might hapen tho its a sketch and quite a bad one as i have no idea what im doing :) but im gunna get some practice in on good ol paper :) and then ill draw something in Photoshop and post it :)
 
Suicide, can the pictures be of a womans face? :) I'll do some of the body two when I get the time (ie. when I can be arsed)

Good drawing though suicide, my only real crit is the face, if you stuck a realistic face on there instead of a manga-styled one it'll look really good. In fact, I think it may have been CrazyHarij or someone who reccomended me some book, the Atlas of the Human Anatomy, probably the most useful art book I've ever seen, studies I do of humans now are so much better compared to the way I used to draw them. Give it a look Suicide if your interested - it's a great book :D
 
Yes- faces are allowed. The head is a part of the female body too, isn't it? ;)

Any yea, I suck at manga faces. A human anatomy would be great, I might try down my local library or something :)

The thing about me and manga at the moment is that I just can't stop watching anime. I bought Ghost in the shell recently, as well as the evangelion films, and I'm about to order Akira and Ninja scroll off amazon.co.uk, plus cowboy bebop when I've watched the series. I really want to buy the series collection for all the animes I watch... but they release 5 episodes on a DVD for £20... And I can't afford £100 for each anime series. hoepfully they will release the "perfect collection" DVD box sets here, like they did in america.
 
i suppose you could class this as nube so i wont img tag it

Like to say im just learning how to actually draw a woman :P so c&c would be lovely, im going to do a gallery kinda peice of all the different positions i can find in magazines and draw em in this kinda style and ill post that :P wanna finish it by the end of today :)

Nice Suicide, only critisism is the fact it was scanned in :P
 
I got really screwed when the teacher saw me drawing manga chicks during class.......Don't do this in class kids!
You need to work on the face man,the nose and the eyes and the eyebrows,I can't give you any advice by typing but try to experment drawing the face differently.
 
Ok so since heads are allowed I'll post this in here too..

Quick sketch/painting of a very cute friend of mine ;) after she dyed the red stripes in, well it ended up taking around 2 hours cause I kept messing up the lips and then did something to the eyes and had to spend ages trying to fix my mistakes lol

Fiddling around in Photoshop got this by accident, I think it looks pretty good.​

makes te eyse look evil ! how did you manage that TDE any idea ???
screen - blurred
multiply - copy of background
background - original image

It doesn't normally end up like that, seemed to be an accident, im guessing it brought over extra data from painter that caused it, as it wouldn't normally ever look like that. So a happy accident.
 
Hehe, very good :P

Nice work TDE, I like the face, amazing. The last one would look good on a book/poster/webimage etc.

hehe thanks. Yeah it would :)
 
Just to keep this thread alive.....(WIP) This time I go for the comic- book-esque :P
 
Whats with the light blue/grey bubble below the neck?
 
I saw the earlier version (which was great), but that looks so much better now that you have added highlights and a background. The atmosphere is very gothic... It seems like this elite is prowling her territory, hanging around landmarks and gliding from street to street, seeking any troublemakers. I love the way that the horizon is slightly slanted... It adds a subtle disorientation, almost as if you are left confused and bewhildered by the surroundings, while the elite is completely impervious to this feeling as she knows the area like the back of her bio-modified hand.

I'm this close to buying you a tablet. You've obviously got talent and its obviously going to waste with you trying to use a mouse. ;(

Though saying that, the same image, painted traditionally in oils or acrylic would look bloody amazing. Luis Royo should paint a version of it :D:D:D

Well you clearly do have talent for it, your just spoiling it for yourself by trying to use a mouse. It's like painting with your feet when your hands work perfectly well. Get a decent tablet and you could be conceptart.org level in months. Stick with a mouse and you'll always be just shy of very good. I'm not saying the mouse is bad, for pixel work its fine, but for painting it just makes your life difficult.

So get one, even a cheap one works just fine. I dunno where you live but in the UK you can get them for like £25 they aren't the best but they work just fine IMO.

Roger that. :D
/me go beg in the streets
 
If I had a scanner I could scan in my class notes that has all my doodles on it! But I don't so you're all out of luck.
 
Actually I just draw whatever, and no its not WoW porn ;). I think it would be weird to be sitting in a calc class drawing porn. Someone would probably be watching lol. Usually my doodles consist of my drawing lines and turning them into something based off what it looks like.
 
Care to show us? :O .....oh yeah, you didnt have a scanner :p Use cameras instead! :P
 
Tht's way too many drawings. I have like over 300 different drawings in the notebook along with class notes :).
