Very impressive shading. If I even considered trying a completely black and white sketch, I'd probably go crazy (and it would be a good enough excuse to ship me off to the nuthouse.... ^ ^;;;;;;)

Anyhow, keep at it!

WOOOOOOW AMAZING

this picture is awesome!

Hi there, I dont think the neck is too long on this pic, this is a 'cartoon' after all.<br />
I think you have a very promising future. I just wanted to say thanx for all the nice comments you just posted about my drawings. THANX! If you are at all interested, checkout my Deviant-Art page;<br />

thank you so much! <br />

yea i love her hair too, juli! lol one of the main reasons i draw her is because her hair is so cool. plus i just love the style she's drawn in. and thanks!

This is one of those pics that just make me go whoa when i see it! Great job on the shading, and also on getting that shiny metallic feel! Her face is beautiful, especially her eyes! one of my fave things about this pic is the way her hair is waving, as if a wind is blowing, it is really cool! Great work! faves time!

i like the armor

O_O Woh

thanks very much everyone! <br />
<br />
and i sorry but i haven't seen it, love2dance. i just found pics of it online and liked the art style. the anime looks really good tho- i'd like to see it if i get the chance

Wow! And I thought I was the only one who's ever seen it! It look exactly like her!

i like your pic. it has good detail

I dunno... It kinda looks like Samus from Metroid.

If you want, Fanart has a quick scetch feature, you can submit your pics before you finalize them and so you can get comments on it before you put so much effort into it.<br />
<br />
And not all armor's shading is drawn like that. For instance leather, bone, chain, padded... It is just the shiny metalic ones. I know it seems pretty obvious but I'm just saying those types just so they aren't forgotten about ;)

thank you! <br />
<br />
the shading took me forever to do. yea i see what you mean about uniqueasaplatypus' drawing- the shading is sharper and also has greater contrast (good to know for next time i draw armor)<br />
<br />
ooo yea the neck is long. (crap i didn't catch that either!)

I agree, I think the two things that make this pic great is the shading and the detail. With her right leg there seems to be a piece of armor or doodad or something attatched to it but it is kind of hard to view it as not part of the leg. I think it would help if there was more contrast there or something. Also, when drawing metalic things you can show it more easily by instead of having shading gradually change draw them with sharp edges. I can't erally explain it that well but this artist did it pretty well:<br />

<br />
Also, the neck seems slightly long. I wouldn't try moving the head down (Because that is a lot of work and you might ruin the cool head you drew), but what might be able to fix it is if you brought the shoulders up slightly? I'm not sure how that would work but you would have to change a few angles (like trim the shoulder pads or something or change the shape). Or you could just leave it because it doesn't look that bad (it took me a while ti catch it).<br />
Cool pic though =)

i love your shading
