I’ve been fleshing out my new character Anita a bit more. Here are a few drawings I have made of her.

This is the first drawing that I’ve made of her, predating the post I shared a few days ago.

Initially, I knew that I wanted her to have somewhat long hair, and some kind of jumpsuit, as they’re both relatively easy tot draw for me.

As you can see in the drawings below, I spent some time refining her, and fleshing her out a tad bit more.

This is a quick front view of the character Anita. Her base outfit consists of a standard ninja jumpsuit. On her lower back is where she keeps her trusty kodachi sword. There is a small aura effect around her hands, as she has the ability to use and harness mystic arts. I thought the earrings were a nice accessory, and a good fit for her.

Her thighs are rather shapely. I felt that would be a good look for the her. I may be a bit biased, but I like women with shapely legs, so maybe some of my bias is showing up while putting this character together. Personal preferences aside, these days, I like to keep the character designs simplistic, and easy to read for now. I’m sure as time goes on, there may be a place for a more evolved and redesigned look towards her ninja outfit.

As you can see in the image above, I decided to go for more of an action oriented pose for her. I think this pose shows that she can be seen as more of an action oriented character. With this sketch, I think the proportions on her body stand out well, and captures the attention of the viewer. I think the flowing effect of her hair and earrings mesh well here also.

Added a small bit of inks, and added a bit more detail.

After cleaning up some of the pencils, and minor imperfections, this is the final image. I like how she came out in this drawing. There are some things I will perhaps clean up, and fix a bit, the added details on her shins, and lack of detail on her breasts (they look a bit flat without the same shine effect I gave to her legs) kind leave me at odds a bit, but I can attend to that later.

I also want to add that this will likely be the pose that I will go with with turning her into a statue figure. I think the figure will look great! It will take me some time, but I think this, as well as some of my other goals may be able to come to life before the end of the year.

Lastly, this is a sketch drawing of Anita that I will likely finish very soon. I wanted to give a similar effect to emphasize her body on this drawing, as well as show she can be a threatening combatant as well. As you can see, there is some clean up work needing to be done, but I think the point still stands.

Anyways, thats all for now, until next time!
