Wow, you've got great shading skills there!
I should learn to shade more too!
hey Chapel, in response about clothing at my other thread, I practised drawing the fold of clothes for years, especially Japanese traditional clothings. Here are the following mangas that I "use" since they are great sources of beautiful and cool clothes, IMO.
Cool Clothes
Rurouni Kenshin (Nobuhiro Watsuki)
Houshin Engi (Ryo Fujisaki) I love the manga, the artist has the craziest imagination~
Hiroaki Samura (Blade of the Immortal)
Shaman King (Hiroyuki Takei)
Body Proportions
Weiss Kruez (Tsuchiya Kyoko)
Rurouni Kenshin
Creative Character Designs
Hunter X Hunter (Togashi Yoshihiro)
Houshin Engi (Ryo Fujisaki)
Why am I quoting all this titles? Coz those are all my only references while drawing for the last 10 years of my life ^^
