I'm using the new Wacom Bamboo Fun, I love it, its inexpensive and it gets the job done. Though depending on how far I can take it and how steady my hand gets I'll probably upgrade to something more sensitive. Cool pic, I actually chose Misa as my first character drawing But I started trying things on that picture and now I refuse to A: deleted it (because deleting is evil) and B: show it... haha.

Thats a real cool idea actually. However I really really want to see it finished but its fairly normal practice for me to save a new image everytime I save so I can go back and see what I did where. I'm secretly working on some portraits however i'm not satisfied with them at all yet. Its been years since i've done anything manga styled.

Spend a hour and a half or so working on this tonight... has a long way to go.

Thanks guys Love some good critisim no way to improve without it. The background was something I bases on a Hubble photo I found somewhere. It was really more of a after thought so I wouldn't be stuck with a solid colour background. Mr March I'm a big fac of your site, I have it bookmarked and bounce onto it everyfew days reading a bit everytime. I'm planning on doing SDF-1 DYRL version soon so your site will be invaluable. Do you have any higher res scans of the line art for the SDF-1 though? Yellowlightman I've bounced onto your site a few times in my travels very cool!

So hey all I'm brand spankin new here! Though I've been one of those on again off again Macross fans since I can remember. Though be it a on again off again fan but now that I see that the interweb has caught up I think I'm stuck on. Anyway just got a new Wacom and just got back into anime after a few year break. Trying to bring my drawing back up to a decent level, I used to do a lot of still-life and portraits as well as constantly sketching anime. Either way life put that on a back burner for me and I'm trying to relearn what I forgot. SO here's my second macross sketch, I like it better than my first so take a look and tell me what you think. I went off of a print out from Mac F. Also I'm looking for suggestions I'm so busy I don't get to sit and doodle up ideas so I guess I'm accepting outside ideas! Hope you like it and there should be more to come. Thanks Steve-O
