Manga Sketches

Finally got done with my rotten homework and had time to do a bit of drawing. I did a few sketches for the main character of the manga novel I’m planning. The designs aren’t final, so I’ll probably end up changing a lot of stuff (please excuse the mistakes, a day of study/classes kinda makes one tired XD).

A litte bit about the character:

Her name is Birdy Grant

She works as an information broker for a newspaper

She’s in her late teens/early twenties

And that’s all I’m going to tell you for now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please, please tell me what you think of the designs, all comments and critiques are most welcome=)

Update

Hey, everyone. Long time no see, I know. I’ve been slacking quite a lot in regards to keeping up with my blog, but I’ll try and post more often – maybe;) Throughout October I hope to post ideas I have for a novel I’m planning on writing for National Novel Writing Month, sketches for a manga novel, and other pieces of art I’m working on.

Music and Anime

“You’re such a nerd.” At least, that’s what people tell me when I happen to mention that I like manga and anime. Some people just don’t understand the sheer amazingness of Japanese graphic novels and cartoons. Anyway, I know this is supposed to mainly be a creative writing blog, but I did state on my About Me page that I enjoy music as well, so why not combine my love of piano and anime and play a song from an anime show?! You probably really think I’m a nerd now. o_o Nonetheless, here is a link to the video of the song “Brothers” from one of my favorite anime, Fullmetal Alchemist (if you haven’t watched it you need to).

Sketches

I was tired of homework and decided to do a little sketching this evening. Here are two manga sketches I did. Depending on how busy I am, I might be posting a more detailed drawing and some of my paintings later this week.
