Damn. When I read @anonymous's question I thought about sceneries in manga's I'd read and thought I'd get to see refreshing arts from the people that answer the question... I did NOT expect to start counting my money to see if I could buy this (and not ONLY for the art...). I had to wipe of the drool on my keyboard by googling the book alone.
I've heard so much about this manga. The only thing that has kept me from it is the cries of despair of its fandom despairing for an update (quote from my friend who's a fan I).
Oh well, it should be the only manga I've been waiting for in terms of updates...right...
One Punch-Man, because of the intricate amound of details, put into the transition of the panels during fight scenes. This gives off a sense of life and movement imo. Reading these parts of the story makes me feel like I was watching a fight scene in an anime.
I love that manga. <3 It would be really cool to see it as an anime. :D
Thank you for all your answers!
Yes, to clarify, I did mean in mangas/manhuas/manhwas (taking it in the context of all art can't possibly be discussed this easily)
It might seem like a random question, but I was reading a manga not long ago, and I noticed that a lot of people disagreed about their opinions of the art. I have to admit that when I read mangas, I do it for the plot, for the whaaaaa feeling, for the character development
*continuing from before*
...and things of the sort. However, I very seldom find a manga for which I could just save every page in my computer because the art is so good, or that I can know exactly what the characters are feeling because of the depth put in their expressions, or drawing that are so well made that they evoke a feeling perfectly, etc... well, if you think about it, mangas are a VISUAl art medium before anything, so the visual part is also very important. And I wanted to see to what extent some mangakas took their art :D
SO thanks! And, on a lighter note, I will probably be checking out a lot of the authors here mentioned :P
For manga, Kaori Yuki is my goddess. Her older works are a bit lacking in art style, but her newer stuff is gorgeous.
Then for manhwa, I love the style of Kyung Il Yang. His work is eye candy.
I wish I could offer some help, but I've been away from art practice for years. My aunt, who used to teach art to schoolchildren, swears by the Monart Technique. Mona Brookes, who developed it, breaks forms down into basic elements of shape (kind of like how music composers break sounds down into elements of notes, rests, etc.) Aunt thinks it works better than the Classical European style of geometry, but she also suggests combining it with some of the techniques from "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain", which is about how the left hemisphere of the brain which controls objective and rational mind functions (scrutiny, analysis, synthesis, etc.) interfere and obstruct with eye-brain-hand coordination, skewing our renderings so that we're constantly drawing what we think we see, rather than what we actually see. So that book has some techniques for overcoming that. (Frankly, when you described your trouble with visual cognizance as 'one eye', I thought that might be the issue. ) Anyway, those are pretty uninspired suggestions, but that's all I've got to offer. Anything to help someone who wants to draw more beautiful manga ....
Argh, I'm holding you responsible for keeping me up way past my bedtime on a work night, and for taking up my break time and lunch hour on this new manga. And I haven't even gotten past the first 7 chapters yet ... and there's what? 790? ... 1833? ... 90,000 of them? Did you just spend an entire year of your life doing nothing but read Berserk?
The art scenes are fantastic, though, even if gruesome for the most part. I also find it interesting how demons are depicted — a very fundamentalist outlook, quite different from the way I was taught to view them, back when I was a kid.
... Kuroshitsuji.
What is the best art you have ever come across?
