"simple anime" by Jake Spangler

you say you taught yourself anime.....well.....i guess its ok...but you should study more on the concept of japanese animation

Its ok but im just wonderin - how old r u?????? It looks like what my best friend drew in 2nd grade. U need to practce!

Jake Spangler replies: "this was one of my very first in drawing Anime so of course is looks rough. "

What nasty comments from certain people in this gallery...You can draw better than many people i've seen in elfwood. Just check out my gallery and look at some of my earlier artwork...It was much worse. You're on your way to some great drawings. I'm still no great artist either. This ppicture isnt that bad except the face is a little blurred. If you're still interested in learning to draw anime, some good sites with tutorials are bakaneko.Com, and howtodrawmanga.Com. I think you'll find them useful if you are still interested...Even if you dont wanna draw anime but are just interested in drawing bodies better, they helped me out a lot. Well good luck and keep it up!

Japenese love American eyes. They love them because they are big, unlike theirs, which are very tiny. Since it's your first time, I'd say yes, it's pretty good. But, in the future, draw the eyes really big...thats what most people recignize about anime

This is not anime. This is a bad unfinished drawing of some stoned kid. Keep your expiriments for your sketchbook. and get some decent coloring tools.
