<span style="color: #666666;">Sometimes I forget that I am working on a painting until I find it laying in a drawer somewhere. This one only got worked on once a year for maybe the last 6 to 8 years or so.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;">I've been busy, most of my newest work can be seen on my instagram account, <a href="https://instagram.com/artbytinadh/">artbytinadh</a>. This is a painting that I worked on while my extremely talented teen aged student worked on her own illustration. I wanted to get a feeling of the moment when the sun is setting and everything is golden and red. The scan didn't pick up those colors subtleties as much as I would have hoped. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;">I have never actually drawn Manga before, but for certain reasons I decided to give it a try the other week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Things I have learned about drawing Manga:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">1. It is important to have knowledge of figure drawing. This can be obtained through going to a local figure drawing class as frequently as possible (preferred method) or drawing from reference photos or the people around you. Since a good and affordable figure drawing session is hard to find in my area it's usually me contorting myself in front of a mirror.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">2. Know the anatomy differences from Manga to real figure drawing. Manga shoulder width is much slighter then from life drawing. Also, Manga characters are a head shorter. This was a great <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJObi9SUK3A">video</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666;">3. Expressive eyes and facial features. Practice these.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #666666;">4. Hair. This <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBy0xqp9hNE">video</a> was great at explaining the basics of drawing hair.</span><br />
<br />
