The Anime-Planet Art Gallery

- The Anime-Planet Art Gallery -

After making a gazillion posts in my own "first fanart" thread I figured it was time to upgrade to something more applicable, and something everyone can contribute to.

So, without further ado, I hereby start the "Anime-Planet Art Gallery"

Please feel free to use this thread to post whatever artistic creation you've come up with recently or in the past.

Doodles, Sketches, Paintings, Vectors, Graffiti, Sculptures, model-painting, photography, whatever.

If it's a visual art and not signature-related (there's a forum for that) and you created it, post it here for everyone to see.

Some rules:

1. No signatures. There is a signature forum already and we'd be more than happy for you to post there.
2. Please only post art you've created yourself, or in collaboration with others. There are other threads to post your favorite artwork.
3. Criticisms are welcome, but insults will not be tolerated.
4. If your image is huge, please place it in spoiler tags.
5. ... ???
6. Profit.

Please try to follow the above. I'm sure some better rules can be thought of later.

I made a new banner for this thread to get more views and hopefully more posts. Please feel free to use it to promote the thread if you'd like.

I've already posted a ton of stuff in my old thread, so if you want to take a gander at my doodles and sketches and stuff so far please go ahead and check out the link in my signature.


Here's something I did today. I'm still not great at drawing moe-style, but I'm trying to get better.



As you can see I left out the bottom left because my proportioning of Sae's chest was getting ridiculous on earlier attempts :)

That's some nice art there, if you draw Morishima or Kaoru too, please be kind to share :D.

Crunchy- quick question- If you draw so awesome why dont you ever ink in illustrator? It'd probably look professional level with a good ink job.

Anyway, on the same topic, for those of us who can only draw stick figures can we post sketches from other people that we inked for them? Or no?

What do you use to paint/color?

Because I have no idea how to use illustrator? :)

I managed to do these in SAI, but I've been too lazy to bother painting them. Is this what you mean?

Also, sure, inking is fine. Vectors of images are also fine, so are wallpapers created using other peoples stuff so long as credit is given where credit is due.

I usually sketch and then ink with pen, then colour in Photoshop 7.

@captaincrunch - you're art is getting really good, but you still have a problem with hands. I suggest you spend a few hours drawing only feet/hands/fingers to get more comfortable

I know, you're right. I'm actually not bad, well at least better than I appear, if all I'm drawing is a hand. Its just that I tend to wing it when I'm drawing a full person or portrait instead of focusing on getting it right. It's a bad habit of mine.

I'm thinking of taking some art/drawing classes at my local CC, well, at least if they offer them on Saturdays and evenings.

Here's a work in progress at the sketch phase. I might just take this one all the way to inked/painted/finished fanart. Any pointers, or anything that seems off? (hands/guns notwithstanding)


(the back of the head is hard, because there's no references to work on. I have no idea what he looks like from behind :-/ )

If you don't know, these are the main characters of Persona 3 Portable.

Also, I got some decent medium-weight sketch paper instead of the heavy stuff I was using. It makes a big difference :)
