Hi, I'm Shadowlupus, a.k.a Kageshirou.
This is not my first time ever of drawing anime stuffs. I've actually done it 2 years ago, I think, drawing several pics of Parsee (my fav char until Kagerou) and thought that all of them was meh. I thought that it was as far as I can go in terms of drawing. I thought I can't do it like veteran Japanese artists so I quitted it altogether.
Now in 2017, something came to my mind that I want to return to drawing again so, in the past two weeks, I've been practicing drawing Kagerou, with various expressions, and poses. They are sometime successful and sometime failed arts but I've never given up until I've drawn something that I've personally thought it to be the most closely drawn to anime style. Most of my hand-drawn arts (I think I've drawn for about 30 or so) are lacking in detail like frills on clothes, etc. for the sake of drawing the most pictures in a single day. Then, I was finally able to do it. I was extremely delight to see my fruit of labor and perseverance turn into an accomplishment.
Anyway, that is how I came to this thread. Here is my first time ever full-fledged digital drawing of Kagerou. This was drawn today. Please tell me what you think and on what I should improve, etc. I personally think I have no idea how shadow outline works.
Kagerou Imaizumi - Digital ArtworkThis is time-consuming than I've ever thought, 6 hours straight, half of which is just from drawing in black n' white. Admittedly it was the curtsey pose, frills, and shadow outline that took the most of my time. I guess that's obvious from being a beginner.
Anyway, I'll use this place to post my drawings of Kagerou (and possibly rarely other characters) both digitally and hand-drawn. Yeah, I intend to draw her detailed artwork in various poses, expressions before moving on to other characters. I think drawing the latter now will worsen my skill and possibly confidence as well if it comes out bad.
