I finally got to work on more of my drawing today. I’ve been working on and off with this thing for a few weeks now and I finally got the basic sketch done. Many people ask me to teach them how to draw and this is something that’s nearly impossible to teach someone over the internet. I thought I’d share with you guys the sketch that I have done so far for my latest drawing of D.N.Angel to sorta show you how I work when doing these things. Keep in mind I’ve already cleaned up most of the lines to it’s pretty clean-cut at this point:

I know what most of you are thinking “THEY AREN’T WEARING ANY CLOTHES!!” Very good! *hands you cookies* This is almost always how I sketch my characters. Why? Because once you get a poportional body in there, the clothes will be total cake. It’s easier to see where the wrinkles will fold and such once you know what the body looks like underneath. And I know I’m not the only one to do it this was. While reading a manga once, the artist said that they always draw the characters in naked first and then put clothes on. So, Dark and Daisuke WILL be clothed in the final piece and it’s not like I’m a little perv who draws them with little pee pee’s before I clothe them…then again, a naked Yuki...^_^ I actually didn’t decide to put in Dark’s wings till the very last moment and I’m glad I did because I think it ads to the piece as a whole. It’s going to be a total biotch to color in though so I’m sure I’ll be hitting myself later for making things harder on myself:-P

Anywho, I’ll shut-up now. Ok…it’s midnight and I just heard the ice cream man drive by…wtf? Something eerie about hearing the tune Farmer in the Dell going down the street at midnight….
