Hi all,
Sorry for not making this lot clear. What I mean with that is the mecha/robots side of Macross artworks. You include things like various Zentraedi, VF and Destroyer units. And the like. So yeah. Basically it's the mecha side of the Macross universe.
If I were to best describe my personal interests, I do fancy and enjoy drawing mecha. They are far more exciting to draw than compared with the simple anime characters. Especially in the bishoujo genre. I've been around in various anime and manga sites and, personally, I felt they are totally overated.
Do correct me if I am wrong, but there's little appreciation for drawing mecha on the web, isn't it? And I'm trying to collect best resources that I could gather, not only in getting to know how to draw them, but also to include some very interesting background of its genre origins.
That really fascinates me.
Sketchley, when you said you've studied VFs for years more than you did with Gundam, are you saying that's how long you take to learn to draw VFs?
Realistically, how long will it take for a newb artist to become not only just good at drawing mechs, but also drawing them professionally and be the top artists? With so many good books you can find online or purchase (such as 'How to draw Manga' series for eg), surely they will help you to get up to speed in drawing them well.
At least I do.
