My name is Yan. I always want to make my own animation some day.
As a new member, in order to let you know me more, here are some works I did currently.

[EscaflowneLY]

also, please give me some feedback.

[Lusvell]

well, they look fine, you got some good lines, but they are a little messy.

BTW, you may want to put them all together in one post, instead of making separate posts for each one.

[EscaflowneLY]

come on,who want to talk?gotta leave some words here.

[Zord]

Good start here, the linework is solid. I especially enjoy the drawing of the kid with his back turned. Wouldn't mind seeing colored versions of the drawings too. Continue! :)

[agelaos]

Good work. All is done well. I like the portrait most of all. These are done with pen? Anyways good work keep it up.

[EscaflowneLY]

they are done by pencil.just improve the contrast a little bit in Photoshop.
To Zord:
Why do you think he's a kid....(maybe you pointed out a serious problem within JP anime style)

[Hyaloclastics]

Nice stuff man!The portrait is awesome!!
Keep posting!

[Azeira]

welcome to concept art, Yan. i have to say hat i like your line work. the portait is, indeed, very nice, and i see a sense of delicacy in your works. look forward to seeing more of your updates in the near future. good luck.

i didn't know you can do drawing and painting in PHotoshop. You might wanna check out painter program. I really dont' know what to say about your works. Just maybe you could show us some of your rough sketch (don't erase it). I think it could help your drawings look a little bit more dimension (3D).

[EscaflowneLY]

rough sketch?here it is

another piece today
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b48/escaflownely/Tina01.jpg
this isn't the original pose, at first , I want she to hold her right thumb in the mouth,but the perspective is far more complex than what i can imagine.

[EscaflowneLY]

I'm a lazy man ...realized that today.
should draw better at this age.still cant handle my pencils.
In order to represent the pose that I want she to be, I really spent a long time. and the result is still in a sketchy look.

here is a great way to get rid of that
sketch with the lightest pencil (6h-4h) then when done with the sketch grab a HB-3B and out line your drawing
this technique is used by everybody and its perfect for inking
some people use a light blue pencil instead of the H pencils
in photoshop you can completly take out the blue
also when putting down the dark out line make the lines go thin to thick to thin or vise-versa, that gives depth to the figure as well as dimension
if you need any other pointers just ask, be happy to help
I grew up drawing anime too

[EscaflowneLY]

what do you mean by putting down the dark outline?

[EscaflowneLY]

I like this piece pretty much.

[EscaflowneLY]

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b48/escaflownely/Arie01.jpg
Still be enthusiastic doing line works.
For this piece, I tried more complicated perspective (at least to me) and a little bit background.Tell me about the creases on the clothes, do they look right?

[EscaflowneLY]

Did this for shading practise.
THe middle person with armours on is a servant of "GOD", two people on the sides are actually the same person,the "GOD".
Another purpose for this piece is to try more complex composition.I realized that my single scenes always just include one character......

[EscaflowneLY]

This piece is for challenging perspective.
A really tough one!

[chr!z]

Yes you have your own style. The poses are a bit unorthodox ;D but kewl!
Keep drawin' ^^

[Bob.Razowsky]

your line work is interesting, you always try to break line & it give to my mind a nice effect

keep it up :^^:

[EscaflowneLY]

One purpose for me of line works is to understand the use of every single line.
THANKS for the feedbacks

Did some pieces for the purpose of website updating.This is one of them.
Line work still

[Magic Man]

some nice stuff in here, but I would definitely get onto some traditional anatomy studies before trying a lot of these complex poses and compositions since it will teach understanding of proportion even if you intend to create exaggerated stylised characters.

A foundation based on reality is always the best bet no matter what kind of artwork you eventualy end up doing.

[EscaflowneLY]

If everyone should do realistic artworks before having his own style, I wouldnt have any enthusiasm on art then. BTW,my style on anime is not based on any "institution study".That probably explains why you think my works are lack of anatomy theory.
AND,as you said,I really care more about the effect that composition and pose make in a single piece!

[Magic Man]

You do realise that all the top anime artists have studied classically prior to their anime style right?

If you couldn't read between the lines, even for exaggerated anatomy, your proportions are way off in most of your work and at angles other than straight orthorgraphic shots, your foreshortening is weak.

If you want to study animation one day, you have to know anatomy whether its anime or realistic, you might as well get over that fact now or not even pursue this as a career at all, you can sure as hell bet that all the other people who will be competing for animation jobs will have sound anatomical experience as well as creativity.

Don't kid yourself that you will even stand a chance getting a job in this type of field if you're not willing to put in the hard work.

[Guesscui]

I agree with you, Magic! :)

all the other people who will be competing for animation jobs will have sound anatomical experience as well as creativity.

This is some really classic words ever.

No offense, LY, I just wanna cheer you up man as you are my friend,
get going! Don't afraid of studying perspective, it's just some task which needs a bit time and practice, true everyone in this career should've know a good knowledge of anatomy.

[raggamuffyn]

you have a really neat style, id LOVE to see more.
