Awesome tutorial I don't really need it (cause I've drawn him so much, I can do it with my eyes closed), but I read the whole thing anyway Strange that the hair is the hardest for most ppl, it's easiest for me, the hard part is getting the shape of the face right :/

LOL Same! xDDDDDD

Yeah, I know, right? I've never really had issues with his hair (though I have improved in my method of drawing it). The hardest part for me to get right is the shape of his face too. And his shoulders. UGH. But I love his sexy shoulders! xDDDDD

I agree, the shoulders are hard too! But we love them XD

This is cool and helpful
I've just been drawing EVERY SINGLE picture of him from the three volumes of the manga I have to get him down...

Ikr?
Once you get in the rhythm, it's not so hard. That's how I taught myself to draw Al... MAN, that was hard...

I'd imagine so! I'm always scared to draw his armor because I'm afraid I'll screw it up. xDDDDD;;;;

AngelicAlchemist93 In reply to FLASOK [2011-09-19 19:57:04 +0000 UTC]

I STILL screw it up because it's drawn differently between the manga, the 2003 FMA, and Brotherhood...

FLASOK In reply to emememe [2011-07-08 01:39:58 +0000 UTC]

I draw with a tablet for the PC, and I usually draw straight into photoshop. That's how I drew this. Glad you like it!

cool! what kind of brush do you use?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

FLASOK In reply to emememe [2011-07-10 14:24:51 +0000 UTC]

Oh, all kinds!

In this particular case, I just used a size three hard, round brush. That's what I usually draw my rough lines with, but if the image is larger, I go with a size five.

Anyways thanks soooooooooo much for this.

No problem!
I'm not the best artist, but I always find myself being able to draw something better after watching someone draw it.
Now that I know better how to sketch him, I can see myself now doodling all over my notebooks and getting distracted by them xDDD

FLASOK In reply to JessiJellibean [2011-03-08 23:37:11 +0000 UTC]

That's a very good way to look at it. I know I'm not the best artist either, so I do just what you said; I do my best to keep improving!

And hey, if you keep practicing, I PROMISE you will improve. As cliche as it sounds, it's 100% true as I've improved dramatically just from drawing and doodling every day. I know what I'm talking about--trust me on that one.

That's good advice -nodnod-
I totally know what you mean, I used to draw and do art a lot more when I was younger and I did notice improvements over those times but then I just stopped and I don't know why ;-; I haven't touched a shading pencil or paintbrush in years
I'm hoping that once I finish my exams this year, I'll start back, but the funny thing with me is, I /never/ hardly finish a piece I start... *sobs into a towel*

Curse it~!! Die stupid BSOD >O

I got my hardrive back today, so I'm just hoping my tablet starts back acting normal, but I'm afraid to plug it back in because the same day I plugged it in, was the same day the computer crashed o.o
But alas, I WILL DRAW EDWARD ELRIC, someway or another >_>

Nice! I love drawing Ed, but I always end up messing up his hair up somehow. His eyes are my favorite part to draw.

And yes, it was helpful.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

FLASOK In reply to zb5766 [2011-03-05 20:37:52 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

Yeah, I hear that from a lot of people. And I don't blame them! I used to have a lot of trouble with his hair. It was the way his bangs stuck up from his forehead that got me. xDDDD But I kept practicing and finally figured it out. As of now, it's one of the easiest things for me to draw. His clothes have become the new obstacle.....>_>

His eyes are my other favorite thing to draw! They're so pretty........@3@

OH THANK GOD. My explaining skills are just......awful. So I'm glad this was useful! xDDDDDD;;;

zb5766 In reply to FLASOK [2011-03-05 20:48:00 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome!

I can get the stuck-up part of the bangs right, but I always draw his bangs either too skinny or too fat. His clothes aren't that bad, but his automail is. I have enough trouble drawing normal arms and legs!

I love his eyes! They are very pretty.

I know what you mean! I'm horrible at explaining things too.

FLASOK In reply to zb5766 [2011-03-05 20:56:09 +0000 UTC]

Awww, that was another thing I had trouble with! I always made them too thin. xDDD Using referances really helps with that kind of thing.

I just feel like I put too many folds in his clothes. xDDDD And I'm working on where to put the shine on his leather pants. (Looks like a job for a referance picture! xDD) Other than that, they're not really a problem.

I LOVE DRAWING HIS AUTOMAIL @3@ I don't even think I draw it that good, but it's so much fun! Personally I don't think it's that hard, but that's just me. xDDDD

zb5766 In reply to FLASOK [2011-03-05 21:07:40 +0000 UTC]

I also always draw them covering too much of his face.

I have the opposite problem. I never draw folds in clothes. And yes, his leather pants! I also need to learn where to put the highlights in his hair.

I can never remember what his automail looks like. And I always draw it too clunky-looking.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

FLASOK In reply to zb5766 [2011-03-05 21:52:03 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it's tough to figure out how thick they're supposed to be sometimes. Especially since they look so fluffy in Brotherhood. xDDD

xDDDD Fold are fun, but I never know how much is too little and how much is too much! The highlights of his hair I can tell you is something you learn to draw from experience. Believe me; I've butchered them enough times to know. It's only until recently I've finally got the hang of it. xDDDD

I never use a referance for his automail, but I probably should. I just KNOW that I'm getting it wrong. xDDDD;;;;

zb5766 In reply to FLASOK [2011-03-05 21:59:11 +0000 UTC]

Fluffy!

When ever I do draw folds, I usually add to much. The highlights are all zig-zaggy! I never put them in the right place.

That's why I don't draw his automail that much.

FLASOK In reply to zb5766 [2011-03-05 22:04:09 +0000 UTC]



I know, right? Curse you highlights! Though, I do love to draw them.
