  1. So Nadril, you are saying basically that if i want my character to jump, picture him/her jumping in my head, and with the help of a reference photo, draw what i see in my head? And by starting with the basics, do you mean using the wire frame, shape, add muscle etc. method (like in picture) to familiarize myself with the body structure until i get better?

  2. Here are the 3 problems i am having with drawing manga bodies.

     

     

     

    1. I got 2 books from the library, one tells me to do the wire frame, then add shapes, then cover it with muscles, then sikin (THAT TAKES FOREVER!!!!) (see picture) and the other assumes i know how to draw human figures already.

     

     

     

    2. I don't know what the differences between 'simplified' and 'realistic' manga, for example, do simplified manga characters still have fully formed bodies? And does realistic manga mean you have to draw all the muscle details?

     

     

     

    3.THE "WIRE FRAME, GEOMETRIC SHAPE, COVER WITH MUSCLES AND SKIN" METHOD TAKES FOREVER!!! (see picture) THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY!!! :wall: like, couldn't i just draw the outline of the person and then add details such as muscles etc? Or something else other than making a wire frame and adding shapes and blah blah blah.

     

     

     

    this is what i mean by the boring wire frame, shape, muscle, etc method.

    There must be a better way...

  3. I believe that I am essentially a bunch of cells but have attained a level of self awareness (like all humans) and that I can improve others lives and the planet, and have a fun and great life full of joy. Being an atheist, i can find the thought of no afterlife kind of depressing but the things i say to myself are "i will live on in my kids and their memories" (whenever i have kids lol) and "i will improve the planet for the better so future genorations can live in peace" and finally, as of now, "i'll cross that bridge when i come to it." :)

  4. Hey! I am almost exacltly the same height and weight!!! (5'8 and 173 lbs) and I am going into my freshman year and have man boobs and a bit of a pot belly too!!! Over the summer I have lost a few lbs and eaten very healthily but I am also looking for some help like good foods and exercieses to loose a few more lbs (5-10) over the course of a few months. Here are some things that have helped me so far:

     

    -South beach diet wraps---lots of fiber to keep u filled and a good taste too.

     

    -Gum---when you are feeling like eating but not really hungry, chew gum!

     

    -Jogging or biking---good workout and fun when you get used to it.

     

    -Curlups---not the most enjoyable fun in the world but helps to get better muscles under your belly fat and muscles burn fat (i think)

     

     

     

    I too need suggestions, also- given my height (5'8) and weight (173 lbs), I would like to loose belly fat and 5 or 10 lbs

  5. I too am going into my freshman year, i am worried about the workload considering that I am taking all honors classes and skipping earth scince and going straightly to honors biology. I am worried that people with nothing better to do will pick on me or something maybe because i am kinda overweight, not fat or obese tho and i do exercies. Can't wait for Highschool band tho :boohoo: ! heard you don't have to practice.
