The cutest bear.

I'm actually not being a dick, I'm legitimately curious.

In my college art classes I write music, so it's not so far fetched.

Oh, my bad. Sorry dude, I read your post as a rhetorical question.

(PS it's my own version of Diablo from the same titled games).

It looks like what Diablo would look like as a Pokemon/Digimon. That doesn't mean it's bad, by the way.

I've never taken an art class (elementary school doesn't count too much, because I remember nothing from it), but I like to draw manga style. Can you guys give me some tips on how to improve?



One thing I really don't like about this picture is Lee Sin's hand. It's so awkward and small and just there, uggh. I was thinking of putting a background, but I wasn't sure what to do for it. Also, for those of you who don't play League of Legends, Sona is mute, Lee Sin is blind. Never knew they were shipped together, but Noff requested this picture from me. He also helped me draw Lee Sin's butt.

Manga style is good, but my best advice for you is to start with the basics, like anatomy and proportion and the like. If you learn how to draw from life, then you can stylize it to your heart's content and develop your own style.

...which reminds me, I kind of want to post some of the things I did in figure drawing last quarter. Would it be okay if I posted them here as long as I had them linked (because nekked people)?

Pretend everything is built of shapes and lines. This helps immensely in drawing out the blueprints of your figures.

Also BODY LANGUAGE. Your girl looks fine and is easily showing excitement. The guy though, I had trouble. If he weren't blushing it's be kinda hard to see he's embarrassed. Try emphasizing his hand on his head, making sure you can see it, and make him look more withdrawn maybe. I made a mistake here and I thought he was complimenting the girl but in fat I realized he was embarrassed in the clothing he's wearing. WHOOPS.

Hands are a doozy and I would have added more but that would take a million years. I suggest looking up hand tutorials or hand gesture drawings to see how people used little tips and tricks to better draw the hand in different poses/perspectives.

Really, you can't go wrong with google. If you have a question about art, google it hard. You'll find there are tons and tons of great advice threads/drawings/tutorials out there.

Wow! That's really helpful, thank you! I don't think I'll follow the advice about nude models though. The thought of that kind of makes me squeamish. I do have a wooden model figure, though. Do you think that'll help me? It seems kind of awkward to me though, because I can't put its arms on its hips and it always has "ballerina" poses. Upon further inspection, it seems mostly for body shape and anatomy, not so much poses.

The lumpy forms (at least on the head) were possibly due to me drawing with a mouse. What do you mean "basic lines to find ribs"? And, what do you mean when you said "how does it deform"? Oh, and I put his arm over like that because I thought it would be weird just seeing his fingers and a bit of his elbow above his head. I like what you put about the head alignment, though the ears on that model seem big to me.

Oh, and he wasn't embarrassed and asking about his clothes, he was asking about his hair. His real hair color is brown. That's what Noff requested, Lee Sin with his hair green. Sorry for the confusion!

I can always pose nude for you :3
