Learning to draw: hand

Drawing hand is hard. In fact, during the first few day, I hided them so that I don’t have to draw them. But it’s needed, so I had some specific training for it. As reference, I used some art here and there, and my hand.

Learning to draw: Copycat 1

Scan

Time to start the series of article on my project to learn drawing. I’m currently stuck at the 15th days sadly. It’s time consuming, and I don’t have much time thanks to college. But I will write the articles on my progression. The article might not follow the chronological order or my drawing. I decided to split them into subject which are relevant to my training. I will also provide the experience I learned. It’s the point of view of someone who is slowly progressing. My advice aren’t one of a pro, and in fact, might not be the best solution, but at my level, it’s the best I can do.

End of eden*

I have finally finished the game, between all my activities. In short, it’s  beautiful and sad at the same time, which I guess is the type of game Minori is good at. The main theme is the end, end of  one’s life, end of the world, and how one face it. The game depicted this quite well, and what I liked particularly is the background, as it’s really detailed to the point of looking real, but still adequate for the character. It shows the world as beautiful it can be, but also conveys the atmosphere. I must warn that the rest of the post is just things I noticed, and is a spoilerish.

Etsu’s Shantiti and Ne-Jyu

shantiti-ne-jyuHere it’s, the Tinkle figurine from Etsu, Shantiti and Ne-Jyu, designed especially for the magazine. It’s an exclusive one to the magazine ( even though Amiami has/had it) and it came with a few extra. It’s produced by Clayz and sculpted by Takeshi Miyagawa… I don’t know much about figurine, but from what I gathered, good sculptor, but random quality from Clayz. I won’t  review the quality; since I can’t compare with high profile figurine from Alter or Good Smile Company ; I don’t  have any from them. All I can say is that there is some little defect, but it doesn’t detract me from enjoying these 2 beauties. On the other hand,  I have photos; it’s the first time I try to take some good picture of my figurines. High resolution photo here: Pic1 Pic2 Pic3
