New Drawing of Maliki character

Another drawing I made this WE... a 'suggestive' version of Maliki and her imaginary friends...

Big credit to Maliki Author ( http://www.maliki.com/ ).

I indeed recently found out that this artist provides many interesting techniques for high quality Manga (a trend in the French Comics) and such a nice style, that I started to use his work as an exercise for my own ability to draw. This is why I borrowed his characters.

My plan is to keep learning through his work until I get good enough to do more personal stuff...

Sketch

I came back to drawing.

This time I want to try the "manga" style.

First draft on paper, then quickly going back to the computer after a scan.

The rest is layered work.

Here are the few steps :

First draft from paper:

Outlining:

Shading

Diffuse Color:

Then I removed the draft layer and added all these new layers together, with a lower layer for the background... et voila.

I found these two web sites very good for this style :

• http://www.maliki.com/
• http://xaxaxa.canalblog.com/

In fact I confess that I am plagiarize them for my training in drawing. For example this character comes from Maliki...
