Sleeves are the bane of my existence... Well, normal modern-day sleeves anyway. All sleeves give me a little fold trouble, but the bigger and drapier, the easier it is for me to draw them.
You're quite good! Your handle on arm shape is particularly impressive, and you draw hands really well too. They could perhaps use a slight bit more work, but couldn't all our hands use more work... *hides own art*
Very nice.

Thank you so much! I'm definitely not there yet, but I do enjoy the practice for arms, and that's half the battle.
Hands, notsomuch. 
But I don't listen to them. Most of the time. 
Together, let us fight the valiant war of hands/arms/sleeves versus artistic willpower! We'll see who's laughing in the end!
Thank you for the comment, duozaiying-san!

for me, "practice" means "draw, erase, get fed up, repeat".
Oh goodness, how i can relate!
These look very good, though. I like how you've managed to make the clothing look soft and 3-dimensional...definitely something I'm struggling with.

Thank you! I'm a Fuji-fan to the core.

It's kinda hard to see Tenipuri fans around here!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've noticed that, too! Seems it's mostly only popular in Japan.

It used to be really popular in Korea too around early 2000s when the anime first aired.

Really? That's interesting, I never knew that. I think there was also a live action TV drama for it in China. Seems like America should step a little further onto the Tenipuri-loving boat, huh?

Yeahhh I mean like it's one of the first sports manga to be loved by fangirls so much and its anime is notorious for its voice actor casting (many famous voice actors' debut). I guess it's because the manga thing wasn't a big thing for America back then, which is why old masterpieces like Slam Dunk are undervalued...Oh and let's not mention how large the fanbase used to be for Tenipuri.

*nodnod* I know, I've often thought that the most important aspect of Tenipuri is the seiyuu cast but, of course in America, most people seem to watch the dubs. 
Is Slam Dunk that good? I don't know much about it, but I've heard it's like Prince of Tennis for basketball.

That's more like Kurobasu. Slam dunk is pretty good, yep. At least it's more realistic than Tenipuri XD Popularized fantasy sport was almost pioneered by Tenipuri
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahah! "Fantasy Sport". That pretty much sums it up, doesn't it? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Slam Dunk is pretty realistic but it deals with human relationships very well. Yeah, I don't really like Kurobasu although I really liked tenipuri.

Awesome! That sounds just like my cup of tea; definitely gonna check it out.

Me, too; every part requires so much practice! We'll get there.
