I hope you don't mind if I ask a few questions. I was wondering when you begin to render your characters and objects, how do you go about it? Do you follow a certain direction to shape and form? When do you feel its right to hatch and then crosshatch? I always find it difficult for me to figure out the design aspect of rendering. Is there any artists in particular that you followed or studied? How do you practice rendering?
Much appreciated and fellow artist,
Manny Mederos

Not at all. I don't know if I will be much help but I will do my best. I think i can sum up all your questions by just explaining my method. Before I even start a piece, I sit down and stare at the blank paper. Then I think of what I want to draw. Then I close my eyes and imagine what the picture is going to look like on that blank sheet of paper lying there on my table. Once I have said imagined picture all mapped out I start by laying out the rough shape of it. Drawing in all the shapes and contours of the body and making sure my anatomy and proportions are correct. Once it is all laid out I go in with all the detail and start by getting a light source so I can lay down the shadows where it will look the best. I use hatchings with certain parts of the body and clothing where I want the shadows to fade out and look natural instead of just cutting off and being too sharp like you would with objects such as a box. And that should answer that. How'd I do? Oh, I studied many, and i mean MANY different artists but there one guy helped me learn more than anyone. He draws SUPERMAN/BATMAN at the moment. Dustin Nguyen. So with everything there comes practice. As long as there is passion along with it, you will go far. Keep up the good work Manny.

Great work man. You're perspectives and proportions are dead on. Noticed on your profile as well that you like the band Revis. I haven't heard anything new from them in ions. 'Bout time for a new record from them isn't it?
Keep Rawkin and keep drawin.
Blessings...
