I don't think this question pertains here. Chances are your question will have better response in the fanart section, so I'm moving it there. Also, do not abuse the use of exclamation or question marks. One or two are enough to get your point across.

I'd think the 'secret' of the drawings is... PRACTICE. You won't get a drawing on a Rockman.EXE style at the first try, everything takes practice.

Well what i think is a good idea is to try and redraw some drawings and when ever you draw your own original drawings, it is a good idea to look at the original pictures and make sure everything looks right. And practice is definately a good advice. ^-^

My advice: pull out the official art. Or pull out the screencaps at this site. Draw what you see, backgrounds included if you're trying to copy a screenshot. Don't trace.

That got me started about five years ago.

Also, there are tutorials all over the place. Here's a site to get you started, if you want to draw anime-style:

http://www.howtodrawmanga.com/tutorial.html

Practice them. Apply what you've learned to create your own art. You'll begin to develop your own style soon enough.

Also, try to set a time to draw to get into the habit of drawing. It's like the same process as becoming a good writer. Draw something weekly, or at least try to. Creativity can't be forced. That leads to artist's block.

When you've drawn something you want to finalize, wait a couple days after you've laid down the pencils. You'll have an easier time correcting mistakes since you have a fresh pair of eyes to work with.

Once you're confident in your pencil work, we can discuss inking and coloring.

Study other people's artwork. Look at the threads here and study the artwork contained within. You'll learn something.

KEEP all your artwork. It's good to keep an archive of everything you've drawn. You'll notice improvements as you get into the habit of drawing.

Really, what can be done in writing can be applied to drawing. Remember that.

Oh, and practice. Artist nor writer cannot stress this enough. Practice, practice, practice.

Those are some very good tip Tenryujin gave you. I also will check out that website that was posted. Hey, if you do learn to draw Rockman you should defininitly post the picture. Good luck on your quest to be an artist!

thanks for the reply but you see I think I may have a clue on how to draw megaman if you go to production art ,then go to MISC at the bottom, and then when there go all the way to the forth row on that row go to the the last pic on the right that picture might give an you an example on how to draw megaman the thing that has me stomped in the circles between there legs, the lines on there shoulder,and I'm not really sure but I think there are lines on top of the circles between there legs if I have to solve this mystery! T_T
