My Lack Of Realism

So I've made a command decision that I want to work on realistic portraits now. It's going to be hard and not at all fun, but I think it's something I need to do. So I'm going to go around taking oodles of pictures, printing oodles of pictures and using oodles of pictures that may not be exactly mine in order to draw a face perfectly. It's going to be a nusance, but if I was able to perfect my manga in four years, I want to perfect a natural face in that time.

...It's just something I want to do.

I HOPE to keep working my manga along the way, of course, but my realism will come first.

Wish me luck - it's a long, hard journey!

I think working on your realism is a good idea, it will make it easier for people to distinguish your characters nationality, race, (if you are making something with more than just humans) and weather they are good or evil. A lot of amateur artist that first tried to help me with my comic ideas couldn’t realistically distinguish facial and body traits in-between people of different races. Especially if the people were closely related, for example Thai and Japanese.

*gloats* I can tell that stuff. *gloats*

But thank you so much for the good wishes!

I've already got my first one posted to my DA - please check it out at killijoy.deviantart.com - it's the first one. I'm too dead to post a link.
