[Visual] Arwym's Sketchbook

Arwym's Sketchbook

Welcome to my sketchbook. From now on, I will post my sketches in here for show-off or to expect some CC.

I am a manga-ka wannabe, and not an expert. I stopped practising some time ago, when I fell under depression and lost any inspiration I had. So please forgive me for not improving in so long. It's been almost two years since I stopped drawing seriously. Now I am trying to get back on tracks and improve once and for all.

I created an imagecrown.com account just for these sketches, and only selected some of the recent ones that looked decent enough to care about. So here they are. I will be adding more in the future.



Nameless Characters (DEAD LINK LOL)

Arwym Starlight and the world of Medunian (DEAD LINK LOL)

Real Life (DEAD LINK LOL)

*New* Arwym's Pixelblog (Sketches)

I know I have to improve in many aspects. Also, these drawings are not very serious. I just practice with them. So no need for CC this time.

Manga

Thank you for watching!

[Dwarra?]

<3, I love the first one in Arwym Starlight and the world of Medunian

[Arwym]

Arwym in the tight clothing? Heheh, thanks!

[Arwym]

*Update*

I just turned one of the Arwym sketches into my new avatar. I hope you like it. ^^

[Arwym]

Hi there!  Just wanted to invite you to read my manga, 'Where Dreams Begin', which just got started. I will try to update once a week, at least.  Please give it a chance!



Well, feel free to leave comments.

Thanks!

it's good, especially considering the skill it takes to keep the quality in a manga consistent. However, I dislike the use of paint for the backgrounds in some of the panels.

[Arwym]

LOL, it's not paint.  That is called screentoning, and shoujo manga titles often do this.  It's part of the genre.  Shoujo manga focuses on character interaction, rather than in making each panel look greatly detailed.  Comics are supposed to tell a story, and sometimes, detail in a background isn't the most important thing.

I use Adobe Illustrator for the outlines, and Adobe Photoshop for everything else.  I do it by mouse, so it takes me more than 8 hours to complete a page.  I could say, more than 12.

But thank you very much!

[Arwym]

I am going to close this thread.  I think I'll just create a website for sketches, and show them off from there.  Thank you, to those who came around and posted.

[Arwym]

I hope you don't mind me reviving this, but it is kind of pointless to start a new thread.  So there, I have a new "sketchblog".

Clicky!

Feedback appreciated.  Thank you!

EDIT:

Most recent sketch.  YAY!

[Leventhan]

Sweet!

[Arwym]

LOL thank you.

At least someone replied.   

[Arwym]

Latest.

[Code Geass]

The drawing of the elf is cute

your style is fun to look at, it's huggable, lol

[Lord Dante]

I really like the last one, it's a very cool...depiction, i guess, of a figure.

[Yossy]

Ah, so you are my new rival!  If I am remembering correctly, you're the one who placed first as the forum's most artistic member, yes?  Or maybe I have some usernames mixed up... I don't know who anyone is anymmooooorrrreeez.

But!  Returning to the subject at hand.  Your art is certainly very "cute."  Lots of big, shiny eyes.  And what an amazing achievement to actually be working on a manga!  I'm not coordinated enough to do lots of drawings of the same subject over and over again in a coherent format.  Good for you!  And I really mean it.

Ah, so you are my new rival!  If I am remembering correctly, you're the one who placed first as the forum's most artistic member, yes?

Actually, surprisingly, that was me.

You should really check out his drawings, pretty awesome.

[Arwym]

No one can compare to Gargyll here, as far as I know.    But wow!  Thanks a lot for the compliments, Yossy~! 

Oh, here's a new sketch. XD



I know she's not perfect, heheh.  Just a quick sketch of many I have.

And LOL yeah, most of my art ends up being cute, many times against my own will.  >.<

[Lord Dante]

I love how all the motion in it compliments itself, in that the way the hair moves is similar to the falling leaves.

[emidy]

It's beautiful Arwym, Is she a half angel? or maybe an angel herself?
You have a great potential to be a shoujo manga writer! Draw more, then you'll improve more.

[garygill]

Looks great!  You going to colour it?

[Arwym]

Thank you!  I started colouring it, but now I feel like it's looking pretty bad, heheh.  I am not too good at colouring. 

And yes!  One of my many dreams is to draw shoujo manga and publish it.  XD  I was invited to a group of young female comic artists some months ago.  They said that I can contact them whenever I feel ready, and they'll help me publish my first pages in their comic anthologies, and teach me how to prepare my works for printing, so that if later I want to publish alone, I can.  I've seen their anthologies and met them at a convention.  There are many talented girls in the group. 
But I don't feel ready, not yet.

[garygill]

Ah, I see.  Well keep at it, you're doing great.

[Arwym]

Thank you, Garygill!  I appreciate that. 

[Roph]

I love that last one, I really do O_O

Don't you dare ever give this up, you have talent here <3
