Alright, so this is my sketchbook, me being Adamant Sage. Just wanted to put up some of the things I've done, and would like some feedback on them.

These are by no means done, and are only sketches. I tried for a cartoon-like approach, taking a lot of influence from anime, but trying to stay away from actual anime. Anyways, take a look.


My first attempt.


Trying an older character.


Switched to mechanical pencil (not sure I like it).


I don't like her head.

This is what I have done so far. Eventually, what I would like to do is put these guys, or at least ones of this style, into a comic thing. I just need to get some practice on drawing them first.

Wow, 3 people I've never seen in the art forum before.. uhmm.. HI!

ON TOPIC: Armor and Weapons look fantastic, but you may want to concentrate more on a few things..:

UNO) Making the actual subject bigger

DOS) Working on the head and chest more, as most armors will exclude a lot of "Appendages" you should try to work on defining your ability to draw the face and chest. This should get harder as the characters get bigger..

TRES) Try to color your drawings. Most things look 5 million percent better when they are colored. Try learning a computer program that specializes in coloring images, such as Photoshop, or Open Canvas.


After you get these things figured out, you can start doing commissions and make some MUNNEEYY!

Anyways on to the sketches, very cute and adorable, good proportions of the body (at least for anime style)
but like IMAU said, try to draw bigger and just practice a lot. practice makes perfect.

Good luck!!~ Can't wait to see more and 'completed' drawings.

Uh... Yeah.. I was here... on and off...

anyhow... back to OP.
For Chibi Style, I would recomand making the head bigger and the leg shorter. But most importantly, go for the style that you are comfortable with.
