Well, technically two Laika and one self portrait. <_<

These sketches are quite well done. I see that you have fixed the problem with Laika's collar, and it looks much more natural now.

The second picture is just as good, but it seems a bit off. I don't know, but it looks as if you have tilted his head too far forward, and it looks like something that one has to strain to do.

The self-portrait is not half-bad either.

I do have a problem with tilting heads when I draw, yes. X_x Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I also draw things at an angle, so everything is elongated and I have to use Paint to squeeze it vertically. I'll try and look out for that next time. ^^;;

Wow two good laika pictures and one great self portrait.
Great job Nazne.

[Yuki-Judai]

All of them are great sketches,Nazne :D

I Like them alot. I like how you made him pose in the pictures. the first one looks kind of a bit soft (as in shows a bit of a soft side to him.) Yet again, I like how you did the clothing. I like the realistic wrinkles on his clothes. I think the second picture is just fine. I think that the legs are a bit off though. They go more to the side in an uncomfortable position. I suggest that you straighten up the legs a bit. That is all for that picture. The third picture is great, all except for the bookbag. It looks disproportionate. maybe the neck and head could use some work too. I mean the way you drew it was fine, but the way the neck is placed and the head are placed is kinda off. It sorta makes the head look like it was pushed to the side a bit. Keep up the improving! Improvisation is always great int he world of art.

Yesh, the legs and general body positioning I do need to work on a bit. Your criticism is quite welcome, though. :D



It's a girl, dammit. :P "Choinese" fan character, because they couldn't come up with anything more original.

Laika's left hand looks as if it was severed in combat. And try to make the girl look more feminine. Other than that, you've done good here.

I do need to work a bit on the arms-folded-hands position, yes. The girl is wearing a sort of overcoat, which would conceal the visible bumps, and her face was never intended to be feminine in any way, shape, or form. But thanks for pointing it out. :O

Assuming that the band is the mark between the torso and waist, Laika's head is a bit disproportionately large. The legs are also a tad out of proportion as well--a bit too long.

The only problem I see with your pictures is you get the head done right then the rest of the body comes a bit missproportionated in relation with the head. Sometimes turns much larger, sometimes it turns a bit shorter.

A tip regarding the head in a profile view, to make sure you keep the neck correct, the 'thickness' of the neck should begin around where the corner of the eye is.

As for the clothing, try not to make the pants unnecesarily baggy. They should remain relatively close to the legs in Laika's case since his uniform is more of a 'service' then or 'combat' type.

For some reason, the head-body proportioning thing was never a problem back when I sucked at drawing. Dunno why it's coming up now, but I'll try to ratify it. ._.;;; I should also get a proper drawing pad, as right now whenever I draw on a flat surface it's at an angle, and that may account for some of the vertical stretching in the sketches.

Thanks for the tip about the neck, though. :O I've always had trouble in profiles. And I'm going to go look at some more official art to make sure I have his clothing right. Used to draw lots of Inuyasha-style pants, so perhaps that's the problem here.

Will work on it. XD

Edit: Kinda sorta edited this one. Laika's arm was screwy in the original. <<

This is the first time I've seen someone draw feet! No matter how hard I try, the feet always look worng or something! Nice job, that 'too short to be 14' one was really funny. Brightened up my day.....

[Kirbopher15]

o_O You consider yourself looking like Raika?

[anime21]

I see that you have done a good job with fixing that hand for Raika. But I also see that you are more use to drawing guys then girls. I tip for drawing a girl's head at a side profile. I suggest you don't make the chin to pointed out (can't think of a better way to say it.. ) Guy's chins usually point more outward then girls. Also, when you darw the section that connects to the ears, it's easier to ignore it. Usually, people draw that section of the neck to emphasize the firmness of the chin, for guys. If you do want to draw it however, Make the angle that points up closer to 90 degrees and keep the section that points up short, or ignore drawing it. adn the section that sticks up from the chinline, keep it way at the end, closer to the ear so that the chinline and that jawline form an angle closer to 90 degrees. If it is exactly 90 degrees, it looks like a robot, so try not to make it exactly, maybe about 80 . It really depends on the age. Another thing, the legs for the girl don't seem to match the girl very well. They point more to the left rather then mid-way from left and forward. I like how the shoes and the clothes were done though. I like the design, simple yet elegant. It seems you have a knack for clothing.

anime21: I never realized that before. o_O; I'll see how I can incorporate that into future drawings of females. Thanks for the tip. :DDD

Zetto: I would wonder about that comment, but I just realized that the girl does resemble Laika slightly. :P Have worked on it.

Have doodled more pictures, will post when I have a scanner ready. >>

I never realized that guys and girls chin and jaw lines were different until someone pointed that out to me too ^^;; Learn something new each day ^^;;

So, THIS is what the legendary Nazne looks like! I like the way you drew yourself. It's a cool pose that seems to say, "This is me, and if you don't like it, shove it!" The tilted head, awkward as it may seem, actually helps fit the aura of this pic, kind of conveying a "devil-may-care" cynical or borderline rebellious attitude.

I caught your earlier pictures of Laika in a variety of poses, and a butterfly is a good change of pace for this guy. Although somehow, seeing him smile is just a little out of character. I don't think even his fans can imagine him doing anything this...HAPPY. Laika is an efficient soldier, but SOMEONE needed to let people know he could be human too.

A very good set of pics you have going here. I could nitpick a little; his hairline can be lowered a little bit to make it more consistent with his anime look. That's it. These are great pics...who knows? They could look even better in color! Keep up the great work, man.
