I like the way you handle womens faces.
i just can't handle it. A female face is just to hard for me.

Thanks for the comments guys. This is the piece I did for Bruce as a part of the Holiday swap. I thought I would throw into this pile. I kind of liked the way it turned out just rushed it...as normal. Oh just so you know, I put a copy of the pic on my web server Bruce.

The last sketche's woman with black hair is very nice.
And so is the last pic, although I personally don't like the red in the background and would prefered it just white, but that's just me

For the Star Wars Draw-off. I am going to do the full version later. This was/is more of a overdone sketch.

Awesome job on Death!

The character in Post #21 looks like he could have been modeled after Tom Waits. Nice!

Screw drawing the Marvel Way. Can you teach us all to draw the Manji Way?

Nice collection of work here.

Your women have a Cho/Hughes vibe going on, I like it.

Manji

01-03-2007, 11:01 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. Bovey still waiting on your watercolor process. LiquidPope thanks and my "can't draw to Marvel way" tag isn't really a stab at the book its more of a Buscema is way better than I am kind of statement.Keith yeah both are big influences on me...I hope not too much though I really want to have my own style.

Idea for draw-off

http://www.headstatic.com/images/forum/war.jpgLooks like something BROM would draw.

Newlead

03-22-2007, 07:21 PM

man, your sketches are really cool!! I see lots of influences. I like the weight and gestures your figures have.

Manji

03-22-2007, 10:50 PM

Thanks guys and Juan you're not the first to say that. I love Brom but I hope his stuff doesn't creep into mine too much. Here is some stuff.

It's just something about the way you drew the clothing/armor designs...very reminiscent of his stuff. Which isn't a bad thing. :)

Dr. Baltar

03-23-2007, 07:27 AM

Looks like something BROM would draw.

Actually Manji's style reminds me of BROMs work from the very first drawing I saw him do. I believe I also have one of BROMs artbooks. :cool:

Manji

03-27-2007, 09:46 AM

Thanks guys. Here is another idea I have floating around for the war goddess draw-off. Another generic pose but I am trying to focus more on the outfit.

http://www.headstatic.com/images/forum/war_goddess.jpg

bfowler

03-27-2007, 09:50 AM

Love the face and the skull knee pad. Is it me or does she not have any lips, just a gaping hole with those probably bloodstained teeth showing through. Very evil looking. Reminds me of the little girl in the Dawn of the Dead remake.

MC Fumunda

03-27-2007, 02:16 PM

I think you'd be a lot happier with your color stuff if you flatted it first.

Justice41

03-27-2007, 02:33 PM

Shoulder's man, Give them some shoulders and some breathing room around the necks. Every figure has shoulder issues. Good stuff otherwise. You guys sure sketch alot.

Teratophile

03-27-2007, 03:05 PM

manji...im going to dip your drawing hand in a bucket filled with broken glass and hepatitis blood.

Manji

03-28-2007, 10:30 AM

Cadaver: How do you think I ended up this way? Geesh.
Justice: Thanks for the shoulders catch I don't know what the deal is lately but I have been doing that on a lot of stuff especially women.
MC Fumunda: Flattied it first? Oh I don't know that sounds like crazy digital art talk. Me and digital art just don't get along, which maybe because I don't have a wacom. Bah!

Newlead

03-28-2007, 12:15 PM

manji- the war goddess sketches are coming along nice. there's always a tough balance in charcter design sketches where making the clearest design will sometimes trump the cool pose IMHO.

Manji

03-28-2007, 11:39 PM

I'm done with this for now. Gotta move on plus frustration is starting to set in. Final one.

That's a hot Sue! hotter than McNiven's. Spidey's cool but it'd be nice to see the lines on the upper body worked the same way in the leg area. It looks like you're regaining your spark your previous drawings were missing. Also good that you took a sketchbook to the doctors :)

Hey Manji you should check this guys stuff out. It's not similar in style at all but his figure construction is superb. It's a huge thread and he has posted dozen of pics on it but pay close attention to his construction figures. Here check it.

Manji

05-04-2007, 05:16 PM

Thanks for the comments guys.

Justice thanks so much for the link I am sure I will spend hours looking it over. I always love seeing how someone else pulls off angles, construction etc, plus I'm a sucker for the "old school" Neal Adams/Garcia-Lopez look, so much can be learned from the older artists and/or the newer people who follow that style.

06-10-2007, 10:15 PM

Can you just enter the Damsel in distress draw off? I would be happy to see your take on it because the way that you draw faces seem so life like and you will evoke a haunting mood for sure.

Thanks for the comments guys and Cadaver you better start posting again...or else

Manji

06-11-2007, 08:10 AM

Oh and yeah that is Sue above Reed. This is a sketch/idea I was working out but never finished. It was for the Fantastic Four evolution of powers" redesign draw-off a while back.

In short Reed's body had almost become useless but his mind was stronger than ever, think Stephen Hawkins on steroids...or mental steroids that is.

Sue's body had completely phased out, she is now like a wraith. She can still focus her mind and powers to form a ghost-like image of herself but this lasts for mere seconds. However Reed has created a machine in which she can enter the and still communicate and interact. Think of Reed as the brains, Sue a spy/scout, Torch a tortured loose cannon, and Thing is still the strong one but much more monstrous. I have better drawing etc laying around here some and will post 'em later.

Bobby Day

It's good to see new artwork from you Manji. I love how loose, and lifelike your sketches are.

Cool stuff, what materials do you use?

Manji

06-18-2007, 08:47 AM

Thanks man as far as materials go I like to use bristol board and a .5 and/or .3 mechanical pencil (pentel) with either HB or 2b lead, I prefer 2B. I also sometimes use my lead holder also with 2B. I only use a kneaded eraser.

HOWEVER, most of these are done either in ballpoint pen or a .5 mechanical pencil on printer paper.

I have always had a love for Jean Grey. I don't know why but I just have, I always thought Whilce Portacio had an awesome Jean. I however don't, I just can't get a feel for her. I think since I like the character so much I just can't do what is in my head. So here is a face study I was doing tonight, which turned out generic & nothing special.

I can tell you're working very hard where anatomy is concerned, Jason! Allow me to suggest a good anatomy book to you--one that might prove a little more helpful to you right now. At the Kubert School, this book was a standard issue, that I still find to be useful. It doesn't cost a lot either, but it's very good, and no nonsense!

http://www.amazon.com/Human-Figure-Anatomy-Artists/dp/0140042431/ref=pd_bbs_1/105-5726158-3702010?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1183698699&sr=8-1

The ART OF COMIC BOOK INKING book by Gary Martin is another great book to have. It has some excellent stuff on inking, naturally, but there are several pages dealing with lighting the face that our excellent sources of lighting reference!
http://www.amazon.com/Art-Comic-Book-Inking-2nd/dp/1593074050/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-5726158-3702010?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1183698885&sr=1-1

Thanks Juan and no I didn't use any reference. I really really need to use more reference and I have acutally started to use some. The girl above (http://www.headstatic.com/images/forum/sketch_thread/girl56.jpg) started out as me playing around with Jean Grey ideas but when I picked it up tonight I actually started to use some reference and it took on a life of it's own. When I use reference I just use when I become stuck etc. But even then I look at it, put it down, then try to remember it as I draw.

Nice loose sketches. I like the design of the girl you were working on.

Ra Havok

10-30-2007, 06:44 PM

I'm going to make a weird remark.

Usually, I can tell by looking at drawings and sketches what the drawing process was. (Or I think I can tell.) I get an idea of the capabilities of the artist, by seeing through the artwork, imagining what the creation process was like.
Anyway, what I'm getting at is that -for some kind of reason- I'm lost when looking at your sketches. I ask myself the question: 'how did he do it?'.
It's very weird. :o

Maaaybe it's because overall, your skills are pretty good, but from time to time there's something that doesn't jive that well. That looks wonky, stiff... Haha, I'm not trying to bring you down or anything. ;) It's just some weird thing that I feel -or more accurately don't feel- when looking at your sketches.
For the record: your stuff is swell. This thread is very enjoyable.

Crits: get more comfortable drawing hands. Drawing hands (and feet) is something you seem to shy away from.

Tip for using a wacom... ummm... use it often?
To get acquainted with color schemes, open a nice painting or photo in Photoshop or painter and see which colors appear where, using the color picker tool. It's a good way to learn a variety of color schemes.

Manji

10-30-2007, 08:21 PM

No offense taken what so ever Ra and thanks for the comments because you basically summed up the way I feel about my own stuff. I think my biggest problem is that I rarely use reference. I try my best to figure it out using construction methods (some from loomis, most from bridgman and a few of my own) but in doing this, I either lose focus of the overall goal or simply screw it up. Sometimes a sketch just 'comes out' I know what I want and it happens but most of the time I am just trying to 'break through'. I think I really need to start using some reference and more importantly just see something through. Thanks for the comments Ra because I have been a fan of your stuff for a while.

Hey there Manji

I just discovered your blog ... okay I have to say I am blown away by the depth and energy of your figure work. It blows mine away. I would love to see some more of your finished stuff ... but your sketches are amazing.

Manji

11-01-2007, 09:03 AM

Reference is good when you get stuck on something for sure.

I think the thing that I would like to know is do you ever do any thumbnails to plan out your work first? Or do you just start drawing? I ask because of the people that post here, I think I've seen you start and not finish things more than anyone else. You're like my polar opposite. I rarely post unfinished pieces or sketches. Everything ends up finished because I'm obsessive cumpulsive that way. :)

I really enjoy looking at sketches and yours and a few others around here in particular.

Thanks Bovey and yes I do thumbnails and actually plan out a composition from time to time. I will either do serveral small thumbnails (like every one else) or I will mark off some 3" x 5" rectangles and start filling it in with black with various shapes at different angles. On some I will let black dominate and on other I will let the white dominate, then I pick the one I like best (design wise) and fit or find that theme in the design.

Meaning if the theme is say the sexy girl draw-off then I would apply random black strokes and shapes to the thumbnails pick the composition/design I like best and make the girl 'fit' into that composition.

But mostly I am entirely too impulsive and just fly by the seat of my pants like a moron and apply none of my ideas or knowledge. :mad:

You have the same problem with eyes as i do. The eyes never align. Flip the sketch over and hold it up to a light or on a litebox and sketch on the back the eye as it should be, flip it back and correct it. Also you still aren't getting the head and necks properly lined up.

Manji

01-22-2008, 01:24 PM

Thanks Justice and I will keep my eye on the head and neck connections more. In regards to the eyes not lining up, everytime I don't draw using my drafting table (which I have set to an almost vertical angle) my stuff will get wonky. Even when doodling I really need to pay more attention to how I have my paper turned etc. Anyway thanks for the comments guys.

Justice41

01-22-2008, 03:42 PM

That honor belongs to Monster Dog starring Alice Cooper. Anyway I really don't know why this ended up having a Yu feel but hey whatever. Second one was done at Starbucks.

06-04-2008, 07:57 AM

I don't know if it's just me, but you seem to have lost a lot of energy in your pictures.

Maybe it was because you never finished your the majority of your traditional stuff that it had more of energy to it, but now that you've gone digital your work seems much stiffer. It might be that you had more open or thinner lines with traditional and it didn't seem as heavy. I think a lot of the energy was implied and now that you're finishing the pieces, you don't seem as confident with implying anything. Now that you're blocking in more of your figures they seem stiffer, darker (as in lighting) and heavier.

It's still really awesome stuff, don't get me wrong, but I miss the energy you had before. :(

Shoryukenmaster I know what you mean. Style has been something that has been driving me up the wall lately. Long story short I have been getting some job offers lately to do everything from character designs to comics (you I can't believe it either). But each person wanting me to work with them has said something about my style which has been freaking me out because I think I have a style but not really. I find that when I paint its different from when pencil, which is different from my digital or pen sketches. Anyway I have become VERY cognitive of this and it is actually making me overthink and freak out. I just need to find a happy middle ground or something I suppose.

Wasp rape! :eek:

Try to incorporate your figures a little more with the background - even though it's basic. Something I also struggle with, but it's something very essential.

I like the progress, kiddo!

shoryukenmaster

06-17-2008, 07:03 AM

With the wasp, I got the impression that he was tickling the girl. I dunno, I have kids and I guess I'm just used to seeing them flounder while I tickle them. Her face definitely doesn't look like she's having a good time, which is the only thing that kept this from being a humorous picture for me.

I agree with Ra about the backgrounds. Both the wasp girl and the demon business men, don't seem to be a part of their bg.

I really like the flying demon thing. I think that style fits you well. The werewolf is friggin awesome. I wish it was more of a dynamic pose, but that's nitpicking. Keep it up!

krikkit13

06-17-2008, 07:58 AM

I wouldn't worry about your style, man. I think that the painted stuff is just as identifiable as being "you" as the penciled work - the difference is really just in how you render it. With the pencil your style is more dependent on line, as opposed to shading and gradients.

Love the Gwen Stacy. Also the monochromatic monsters rule. Great textures and values in those pieces.

Been in a funk lately, one of those where you just hate everything you do. Anyway here are two speedpaints I forced myself to do just now. 20 minutes for both. Just trying to get the groove back.

Not bad for 20 minutes Manji. The guy looks especially ambitious and intricate for the time limit. Keep up the hard work. ;)

Manji, your work is awesome! Do you ever color other people's work? I love your loose style.

Yeah its photoshop. I need to play around with Painter more to get past the learning curve.

Thanks man I appreciate it. As far as coloring or painting over other people's stuff. I haven't done anything officially yet but I would give it a try I suppose.

Manj bro, ya gotta start doing this stuff on paper. A lot of this work could have made you a nice chunk o change on eBay.

Self portrait? You mean Manji is really Jason Priestly?

I thought you were great on "Sister Kate," no matter what anyone says.

Pfftt..you're lucky I don't charge you for looking at this thread. :p Send me something high rez it might be fun considering how detailed you can be.

You know I have never really thought about the Ebay thing that seriously before. Maybe I should. Either way though you are right I do need to start working more on paper. Damn digital is great for speed etc but I do feel it can make you lazy. I enjoy the freedom of playing around with color schemes etc but it can take your focus by offering too much of a safety net.

I hate you. :p However you aren't the first to think that. (http://www.penciljack.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87804)
