Hey guys, this entry will be about me giving you motivation by showing you some of my recent artwork, and giving you some preview about you can do with a lot of effort and practice, so it's up to you to decide if you want to achieve this level or drop off, remember what I said in one of the first entrances that I post when I finished the Blog, if you guys aren't serious about learning How to Draw Anime, please stop reading the blog, so if you guys decided that you want to continue, well then let me show you some of my artwork and show you how great your talent could be if you want 

Ok first one I have this one, this is the main character of D.Gray Man, and I'm a big fan of this series, you can achieve this kind of detailed work if you practice enough, but still, I have a long road before I can achieve my dream to be Mangaka, anyway this character and the next ones will be from this series, and this character name is Allen Walker

Next we have Lenalle Lee, an exorcist from the series, she's pretty cute don't you think? XD

Next We have his brother Komui Lee, he's not an exorcist, but he is the supervisor :)

Here we got Lavi a character that plays to roles in the anime and manga, as an exorcist and the bookman succesor :) Personally I like his style :)

Now we got Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist, he is a pretty awesome character, he can be silly and dumb, and even funny, and he also can be strong and powerful :) I like this character too and the anime too. :)

Here we have him again :)

Now we got a character that everyone must know, if you don't you really didn't watched anime when you were kid, that's right Ash Ketchum from pokemon, and I'm still trying to figure out how after like 10 years he have the  same age XD

Next We got Yami Yugi, well known as the Pharaoh, and Atem, making the last name wrote his true name, so anyway I like this series soooooo much that I already watched the three series The first one, GX and 5D's the three series are reaaaally good, and another series that most of people saw

And for Last One we got Katekyo Hitman Reborn, that's right, though this ones aren't the main characters, they play a very important role in the series, They are Lal Mirh and Colonello, two of the Arcobalen characters of the series, So this is my favorite series of all times, I haven't missed a manga or anime chapter 'til now, so anyway I don't try to be pretentious or those kind of guys who think that they are better than anyone else, I just meant to show you my artwork and show you how far you can go, and still I have a long way to go, so remember guys this if you guys wanna contact me you can follow me on Twitter  :@OreoCnMostaza or you can send me an email to: alan.jaimes@gmail.com, or you can add me to Deviant Watch in Deviant art: AJJDS remember guys don't post any personal information on the internet, and don't ask me guy when I'm going to post the next lesson, I have plenty other things to do, and my real life goes first, and the next entrance will be about some hand exercise I will post some images about different hand poses for you guys can practice, I'm not going to post another lesson 'til next year, starting in January I will post one lesson per week, If you guy wanna ask me to do some kind of draw like: "Dude, I wanna ask U about to do a How to Draw Lesson that  teaches us about how to do a hand holding an umbrella" for example I don't know it's just hypothetical, you can ask me, and I will only make an specific lesson to those subjects who receive the most votes :D

Now after I did the square I made another square above the one I just did, with the exception that this one is going to be more like an oval, You'll see what I mean in the next picture, and I also made a sausage shape to indicate where the thumb is going to be

Now the next step is to indicate where the rest of the 4 fingers are going to be, so for that I divide the oval square, I don't know an specific word to describe that shape XD, by half, and then the other two half divide it by half, I don't know If I'm explaining well But I think you will once you see the next picture

Now the next step is to start to add the details, I added to diagonal lines in the first square to indicate where the wrist is going to be, now, I will start adding the details, now remember each finger is composed by 3 spots, called phalange another thing is that the four fingers have a different length.

Now another thing you should keep in mind is in the anime the nails aren't detailed to much they mangakas just do like a curve line to suggest it, now you can change a little the size of the hand if you consider, that is too big or too small, so you can just work inside the lines if you think is too big, or work a little outside if you think is small, it's as you wish to do it, in my case I considered that the hand was to big so I re size it a little bit, now after I got all this, I should begin adding the inking and the shadows to get something like this, 

Remember this first example is more realistic, anime hands, usually don't have this kind of deatail, but you know you should know how to draw a little of each style, it can be helpful to you, now as you can see I used my own hand as a reference, so after you guys are done you can erase the guide lines, I let them this time but I usually erase them, so starting with the next example, I will do a hand more of the anime style, I will dop all the same steps, another thing I forgot to tell you earlier is that you can modify the steps at your own style, thing that I did with the next example

Another thing is if you are going to practice several times how to do a hand or anything else you don't have to use another sheet to draw it, you know I'm a little echo, so I don't like to waste paper because I could use it in something more important, now as you can see I did the square making the line where the fingers are going to be placed more diagonal, because this hand will look like if it's trying to catch or take something, now another thing you can see is that I place the thumb already, I'm sorry the time I have drawing made me have some habits, and I place it before, but that's ok that's no problem now I'm gonna place the rest of the fingers with some rectangles as you can see in the next image

I know it  doesn't look like If is trying to take something, but with the details is going to look better, now I will add the details, and I will ink the picture, because I don't want to make this lesson more longer, so in the next picture you will see the final results

I know I have that probably don't look like a anime hand but you know is less detailed that the first example, and that makes it more anime, but as I said before the anime hands don't have to much detail, So I'm finishing this lesson, and the next lesson will be about the eyes, so anyway remember that you can follow me on twitter: @OreoCnMostaza, or you can email me: alan.jaimes@gmail.com, and you can also add me on deviant watch at deviant art AJJDS, and I will be back with another one soon :D
