Alright, lemme explain. I know this isn't what you guys are used to seeing from me xD So starting just before Christmas, I promised myself that no matter what I did this year, I was finally going to sit down and teach myself how to draw people. It became one of my New Year’s resolutions and (along with school) is one of the reasons why I haven’t been uploading as much as I normally do. It’s been a tough couple of months...I basically drove myself into art block for most of January over all this, but it’s definitely been for the better! It feels nice to finally be able to expand my drawing horizons for once. D|
Neku, from ‘The World Ends With You’ has been my character of choice. <3 alkdjkf I know I’m probably gonna get shot for this BUT, in my opinion, TWEWY has always been a better game than KH. xDD Don’t get me wrong! I love KH too, it’s just...I dunno, I guess I can relate to Twewy more? Whatever it is, I’ve adored that game and its art style for a long time. I blame KH3D for bringing back all my twewy feels though. D| Omg, that game and the whole Reaper’s game in Traverse Town ruined me alkdjkf
Long story short? As soon as I get more time, expect lots of Twewy fanart...and I mean lots.
Anyway! Enough rambling! This here *points up* is actually a redline for ~hyperkilia because she drew Neku and I offered to help her out. I wouldn’t actually call this a redline though. It’s more like a step-by-step tutorial thing, but I felt like this would somehow be more helpful than just a redraw. I did do a redraw of your picture though, just so you'd have something to directly compare yours to: [link]
I thought you did pretty awesome considering you don’t draw people hardly at all. I know they can be really tough! I think the only places you need to brush up on are a few picky details on the face and hair. Remember, hair in styles like these tend to be poofy and spiky so it’s going to sit up on top of the head quite a bit. You can see how much higher Neku’s hair is compared to where I drew the circle for his head so don’t be afraid to draw hair spiky! You might want to watch how thick you draw the bodies too, especially in this style. A lot of the characters are a bit on the slender side with their bodies being about as wide as their head at its skinniest point. Exceptions to this are Beat and Higashizawa. Also, don’t forget eyebrows! They can make a character. ;D
I'm uploading this to my main gallery because maybe it can help someone else. You guys like seeing stuff like this right? xD
omgdksj Nekky! there goes his irritated expression again, just adore that! x'D and yup this could also help someone else c; IKR?! the eyebrows are important keys! that's another thing i figured when sketching josh of course who wouldn't love seeing this nifty stuff? you'd be crazy not to <33
I know its really hard to draw people but you actually make it seem easy *O* I love Neku too ^O^ This is amazing XD I like both KH and TWEWY too ^^ great job
