Tanya Tyler - Cute anime(Kinda) girl from my original series! ^^

[Sparx-1]

(If you want a better look, go to my my DeviantArt page.)

Here's a pic of my favorite anime character of all time!^-^ ... Okay, so I made her up, big deal, she still counts...

She's Tatianna Tyler! ("Tanya" for short), a peppy and energetic detective from Dimitri Park, a suburb of  Serena City, a huge metropolis in the far future.

I kinda had her in mind when I wrote the poem "Mocha Sapphire", which is currently on DeviantArt. Note teh blue eyes... XD As .

Anyway, she's my favorite for multiple reasons, including because she can pull of both cute and sexy at the same time, and because of what she represents...

I'll post more of her when I feel like it!

Anyway, I drew this with a pencil and then colored it in photoshop. Enjoy!

Suggestion: Don't use dodge/burn to shade. It works on the metal and maybe eyes but that's it.

Also if those metal circles are boobies they need to be lower down.

Tanya Tyler sounds like a porn star name.

LOL !!! It's funny because it's true !

Is she, like, made of plastic ? and why does she have frying pans for boobs ?, and why do they have a line down them as if they're going to open sideways and the nipples will flop out ? ....Strange.

Lol, I think you should try and make her look more unplasticy, do YOU look like plastic ? I don't think so, and maybe give her a little more hair ? It looks like a wig thats blowing off (Not intended to be an insult).

Sorry if I sound harsh, but I just think she looks... wierd.

Outside of the shading issues mentioned above ...

Gigantic irises/pupils don't necessarily make something Anime.

For faces, avoid chubby cheekbones, they make the faces heart-shaped.

Her mouth is the same width as her nose, which also is very small. I realize anime-style noses are small, but that's like ... REALLY small.

Avoid straight almond-shaped eyes. Eyes don't naturally turn upward at the outer edges like that. If you're looking to do Western-style comic eyes, do that--but it looks like you're trying to mix the two and it doesn't work. Her eyes look very fake. I'd recommend researching an eye style and then try to follow it.

That said it's not BAD, it's just not really anime-looking. Looks like the rough draft of a Saturday Morning Nickelodeon cartoon.

The silver things are part of her chestplate. ^^;

the shading is over the top, bro. o__O theres waaay too much light reflecting off way too many different angles. you'd do better to just have a single light source, otherwise it probably just looks like you just did whatever.


btw i like the background =D

HAHAHAHAHA I laughed so fucking hard at this !

Sparx, what I think you should do, is kind of like, redo the image (Yeah it'll take the piss !), and make the chestplate a little lower down, give her more hair, try not to make her eyes so slanted, and make her iris' smaller, also, give her a bigger mouth, it looks like she struggles to get a pea in there !

Also, take a look at some shading and colouring tutorials, you've made her look like she's wrapped up in tight clingfilm, the only tight stuff on a person should be leather, kinky people LOVE tight leather, lol.

And vinyl, and latex, and...

Yeah each of those materials looks a lot different, but I'd say if anything she looks like she's coated in semi-transparent liquid latex, it tends to have that shiny plasticine look to it.  The only reason skin should ever be that shiny is if it's wet, and then you will have some texture to it that indicates to the eye that it's wet skin - this is sort of advanced.  Start off with some reading up on how to do highlights and shading on skin, it's the hardest possible thing to do in terms of shading IMO because so many factors play into it, but you can accomplish some much nicer looking skin with a good couple hours of studying.

Oh yeah, and another thing:  Like Wumpi said, never, ever, ever use dodge/burn for shading.  Burn increases color saturation, which is exactly the opposite of what happens to color in shadow.  Dodge just looks, heh, dodgy!  Dodge/burn is your enemy, do not be tempted by it.  Learn more by checking out some of the stuff in the stickies up above, there are some really great articles on lighting up there.

Mm-kay, here's another version of the pic with a slightly different shading method. This is actually the "half-finished" version of the first one...
