Artist's Comments

Practice for when I like my work enough not to mess up my favorite Anime dude, Sesshoumaru for those of you who don't know, LOL. Kenshin is my husbands favorite character so I tried my hand at him. I had my husband nit pick a lot but I know he still needs work [emoticon] This is a colored photo copy so I can still change anything I need to on the original pencil drawing. Let me know what you think.

Oh I know the hair isn't evenly poofed but I have almost given up making it so [emoticon] and my old man has pointed out that alot of my drawings lean left which I find amusing so I decided to point it out here [emoticon]

Well it’s good for a beginner. [emoticon]
As a beginner myself I think you need to practice a little more on the position of his facial features… the eyes I think should be a little lower and mouth needs to be a little more up… his hair needs some work but overly it’s not bad. [emoticon]

I think it looks good, the only things I would really say was a bit off, are the size of the shape and the expression on it. Remember, most anime people have smaller stubbier type faces. and when you shorten the length, try to loswer the eyes and make the nose smaller. Thats pretty much it.

Its good for a first time drawing! ^-^First off, his eyes need to be a bit lower, and his face needs to be more rounded and semetrical. And, I think you did a great job on the hair, the ends just need to be a bit more pointed. One other thing, I think pecs should be a bit lower, they look a tad bit too high. Other than that, its great ^-^ Good work

No problem ^-^ Hmm...For this school project, we had to make a business, so my group and I decided to make a tutorial for how to draw. If you want, after my friend scans it, I can give you the part on how to fraw the face. It really helps, and its an easy way to make the face semetrical and such. Just offering. ^-^

Well I think everyone has pointed out already what needs attention too so now I think you need to consider making his face alittle less enlongated and use a curved edge of some kind to even out his sword cause it looks a little wobbly at the top near the handel overall though you are getting better and I like him [emoticon]

That darn wobbly was another pain in the butt [emoticon] You should have seen it before my old man roasted me [emoticon] It leaned massively from left to right and I didn't notice until he turned my paper so that it wasn't tilted, I still don't know how the paper moved on me [emoticon]

What helps alot is if you draw a straight line right down the middle of your picture it'll help you see if something is leaning or not semetrical. Or you could try looking at your pic in the mirror. I do that with all my pictures it helps show you what is off and what is right on.

Look at it in the mirror??? That sounds so funny I think I'll try it [emoticon]

Straight lines in general are my down fall even with a ruler they somehow end up crooked, HHHHMMM, maybe its my personality coming through [emoticon]

[emoticon] Yeah sounds funny but the mirror thing really works. And the ruler thing if you line up the edge of it with the edge of the table and the paper too the line should come out straight.

Woot! It's Kenshin! I am going to go with what most of the other members have said... his eyes should be about halfway down his face (I kid you not). And then just fix up that jaw line. I HATE doing anime jaw lines. They are hard to get right. Especially Inuyasha's. Have you ever tried to draw Inuyasha's face? It is so difficult. Well, at least for me anyway because of the sharp angles of it. But anywhoo, I think if you made it a bit more "square" it should make it look a bit better. Now that that's out of the way, I want to say that the proportions are wonderful. You have the shoulders are squared perfectly. And the length of his body is prefect as well. Keep up the great work love. ^_^

No Inuyasha yet, LOL. I want to screw up my less favorite, favorite characters before I screw up my Sesshy and his little bro [emoticon] I'm glad you like the shoulders my hubby kept telling me they were off and no matter what I've done to them he wasn't liking it *sigh* he is my worst critic now that I've allowed him to voice his opinion, I should have stuck with giving him his opinion instead of letting him form it himself [emoticon]
