[Comments when sketching]
  Ranma's always wearing those togs... I decided to make
  him wear something else ^_^

  Arm poses... hands... ahhhhh!  In the end, I put his
  hands in his pockets... I can't draw hands... my major
  flaw... ;_;

  Hmm... I think I'm starting to develop my own style
  here... a cross between Sailormoon and Evangelion.
  Obvious I need to practice on clothes, arms and hands.
  And feet as well (well, I hardly ever draw them).

[Comments when inking]
  I still get nervous when inking... one mistake an'
  it's all over... O_o

[Comments when colouring using computer]
  N/A  Something is wrong with my comp... had to use th'
  school comps... I stuck with b/w this time.

Well, it's Ranma.  Ranma is always wearing chinese
clothing.  Hey, I'm chinese, but it get a bit boring
sometimes.

So lets put him in something normal people wear.  Anime
people, that is.

Started off with face, hair, neck, body, legs.  Arms...
I'm scared of them.  Experimented lightly with different
arm poses, but nothin' seems right.  So, let's do something
easy  ^_~

Background... jus' a quick sketching.

If you're still reading, I assume you're bored, 'cuz why
would someone read this?  Go read a fanfic or something.

Ja,

Phil Chan
