Manga practice

Hi! Here is a little page of manga doodles/practice drawings. Remember- double click to see full size.

I looked at the drawing tutorials on Manga University and some Youtube vidoes by Mark Crilley. The worst drawing is probably the biggest picture/ girl with ponytail. She has really bad hair, and I just noticed that I forgot to colour in her ponytail. The crying one in the corner is chibi, I think. I like the really happy one that's just a face best. I'm not very good at manga, but I'm practising. I promise I will post a proper manga picture soon, not just doodles. Tell me which of the eyes is best.

PS I'm not trying to be patronising by adding the "eyes, nose, mouth" diagram in the corner. It's just that I'm reminding myself how low down in the face the eyes go.

Mirror portrait

Don't worry, I haven't disapeared! I just don't post very often. You'll have to live with that. Here is a picture I drew yesterday.

It is a bit small, I haven't worked out how to enlarge it. The picture is actually A4. I added the table last, because it looked very empty without it, and also unrealistic. It wouldn't look like a real home without any furniture at all. The girl is just made up. It isn't anyone I know. Please let me know what you think, if it would be better without the table.
