I thought it was about time to sharpen my pencil again and draw a few more pictures. Some of these took more time than others!
- Chitoge – Nisekoi
The main thing to worry about here is that the size of the head is a lot smaller than it should be. I probably did this because I had to fit it onto the page and I ran out of room. I also made her body way taller than it should be.
- Sophie – Howl’s Moving Castle
I’m going to be honest and say this looked a lot better before I put the photo up, the features on the face need spreading out more to the left.
3 White Creature – Princess Mononoke
The face goes a bit too much to the left, I guess I was compensating for the previous photo! I thought it would be fun to try shading and I found that smudging worked pretty well.
- Bonus
I released this ages ago but never put it in one of these posts, so I thought I’d throw it in here!
The main issue here is the background not being detailed enough or exactly the same, but I didn’t really copy it so I thought I’d create a new one instead!
Thanks for reading, what did you think?
Your Sophie is adorable!

Thank you, it’s from Princess Mononoke but I don’t remember their name, their name is pretty forgettable since it’s not mentioned in the film!

Thank you! I have no idea what they were called so I just called them that!

Nice work! I haven’t done any drawing for ages but always struggled a bit with proportion. Do you “wire-frame” your figures before you draw them at all? That can be quite helpful.

Thanks! I don’t wire frame, I’ve never really liked it (or tried it I guess) but since I’m copying a reference image I try to get away with it badly. If I was drawing something from scratch without a reference I’d probably definitely have to use one.

It’s worth a try! I hadn’t really thought about it until I bought a book on “How to Draw Manga” and it outlined the process really well, no pun intended. I was surprised how much of a difference it immediately made. I mean, I still can’t draw very well, but it helped a lot with things like face composition and posing.

Yeah I can’t draw well either. I remember someone getting me a book like that, if I find it the next drawing post will be using pictures from a book like that!
