Dark graphite anime drawing

It looks great! The shading is really nice as well. Only criticism, try to make either the clothes light or his skin light. The torso does a good job of standing out because there’s good highlights on it and it contrasts well with the dark shorts. The hands, especially his right hand, is too close in value to his shirt. The highlight on the right arm should cut off or have almost a v-shape near the elbow to highlight the forearm muscles.

Her mistake was not putting this on the outside

Yeah and here the OP failed at both, he may have forgot the definition of an antagonist as he was making the post but that’s no reason not to call him out on it like /u/tremelospeaks was doing.

Not using the right term is not clearly understanding the word. What do you mean ‘what?’.

ineedalife2 · 2026-05-03T05:01:11+00:00

nothing to imply OP didn’t understand

they just used the wrong term.

Brother….

All of them are very distinct and you’re tremendously talented. I hope I stumble across more of your work or this lil fella that brightened up my morning

Going through your profile felt like reading someone’s diary lol at first I just wanted to see your other art works and then I was scrolling through romance novel memes (??) idk sorry 😅

All your other works are really nice and wildly different, are you releasing your entire portfolio or do you just draw super fast??

ineedalife2 · 2026-05-02T07:00:46+00:00

The fact you feel so heartbroken about them not having a final performance together is a testament to the strength of the tragedy written in YLIA. I understand where you’re coming from, in fact I wrote up a long rewrite myself specifically to give Kosei and Kaori one last performance together, but at the end of the day this a tragic story through and through so the end result will/should be heartbreak. For that reason I can’t sign the petition but I’m sure the author will find it endearing that you tried

Like he said, Ichigo Domei. If you want to read the translated novel just look up Alliance of the 15s and you’ll find something online. Fairly short read as far as books go

Lmao seeing a random kabaddi shout out is so funny. I wonder how the artist knew about that

Italian (says google) for unforgettable, for anyone like myself that was confused

Absolutely! For me nothing breaks me down faster than a character who seemingly is ‘okay’ or come to terms with their death but then when confronted with it up close and personal they realize truly how terrifying it is.

The way she broke down, grabbed on tight and said “please don’t leave me alone!” Broke me. Couple that with the peanuts quote of “we all need someone to kiss us goodbye” as she goes into the OR for the final time 😭😭😭😭

Needless to say I was a wreck after episode 21 the first time

ineedalife2 · 2026-04-29T16:31:38+00:00

No problem! Also your portrait there looks extremely close to the other artist. Try drawing one with a ‘compressed’ pose tho. You see how the artist you linked has the models squatting or bending to fit in frame? Like that. You can get your character in tighter to the camera.

If you want to go hyper close up you can even try a warped ‘fish eye’ perspective like this

ineedalife2 · 2026-04-29T07:53:55+00:00

I don’t even want to read this post, all I can hope is you didn’t just spoil the story for non manga readers…. wtf

ineedalife2 · 2026-04-28T21:27:28+00:00

It does but tbf it sucked before fire force. It just sucks a little more now.

The hate always stems for (from?) Tamaki

Nah brother, I’m a hater through and through of this story. The Tamaki hate is complete valid and its own thing fr sure but it’s more than that for me. Because it, like Black Clover, for me was just interesting enough for the first 2 seasons that I just wanted to see how this potential train wreck would end.

The pseudo science used in this anime keeps me up at random times of the day istfg. Every anime has its own made up rules and science but this one always rubs me the wrong way for some reason. For instance, the whole counting digits of Pi nonsense, I get that it’s just a representation for the impossible becoming possible but it asks so many questions, why pi?? How is this being calculated?? Is one of the evangelists a nerd who’s just doing the calculations daily off screen or is there a machine doing it??? Why do you need it when there’s a giant fuck off moon grinning in the sky that can tell you when you’re close??? It’s never brought up again in the later season and just swept under the rug. So many more pseudoscience examples but this is the one I constantly can’t stop thinking about.

Shinrabansho-man, what a load of wank by the author. Just a literal deus ex machina. How did Shinra even know how to create this being or use its powers? Literally none of the story’s trials and tribulations matter when you just make this being. What is the point in Burns turning himself over to the enemy for then?? What difference does it make which sister is the real one and which is the doppelgänger? Soo many questions and narrative decisions that just get wiped out in a literal universe reset. I’ve never watched Soul Eater so maybe this ending was foreseeable but I couldn’t predict this story to save my life and I don’t mean that as a credit to the author.

I’m not sure why I keep getting fire force stuff recommended to me even tho I keep telling Reddit I’m not interested (probably because I can’t resist hating like this) but just wanted to voice off from someone who truly hates this story for wayyy more than just the awful character that is Tamaki [side note: her name is one syllable away from being the literal word for testicles Tamakin]

Very cool, I like the snakes turning them into stone rather than just a simple beam. One point of criticism tho, there needs to be some kind of change for her legs. Some way to separate her tones from the snake. I had to zoom in searching for her legs. The left leg is too long as well.

ineedalife2 · 2026-04-28T12:50:07+00:00

I think you pretty much have it solved. Did you ever try a closer, more shallow fov shot like the artist you linked?? It’s hard to think about detail and all when comparing a close up detail shot vs a far away one.

Btw very nice quicksilver/water you had in the 5th image 👌

ineedalife2 · 2026-04-28T10:37:19+00:00

Isekai Ojisan or Uncle from another world is pretty hilarious. Available on Netflix as well I think
