Artist's Comments

Karate sketches. Testing out various inking things in Painter. I've got this up in scraps, but the scraps isn't updating at all for me, even after several hours, so I'm uploading it here to see if it's doing the same thing in the main deviations as well. Will scrap later.

This is really neat XD I've always been fond of those odd little posters or instruction booklets that tell you how to do certain kicks and blocks, or katas and forms. Good memories. I want to take up martial arts again...

Me too. =P I'm going to start at a mixed martial arts place soon (Hapkido, Muay Tai & Brazilian Jiujitsu). I have experience in Aikido and informaly Jiujitsu with a touch of Kung Fu. What were you learning?

I was learning Tae Kwon Do, got up to purple belt, brown stripe. I'd like to resume that, or maybe take up kickboxing XD *Likes kicking*

Heehee. I did Shotokan for a year and a half about three years ago, and then quit because it was eating up all my time and I wanted to do somethng *besides* work and karate. Not to mention my balance *sucks* I have a sort of vague plan to find a good yoga class and do that for a while to improve balance and coordination, and then find some nifty martial art that has funky weapons and learn that, because while Shotokan is nice, it just lacks the serious Cool Factor that funky weapons have.

[Yes, I am that shallow. :D]

I actually have some karate poses sketched by christopher hart that I scanned for a friend that I think you could find quite handy :lol:

Also, in the high kick pose, wouldnt you use the knife edge of your foot for the kick and not the sole :O_o:

Not if it's a thrust kick, which uses the sole as the striking surface. :) If it was a side kick, yeah, that uses the edge of the foot, but it's a thrust kick that's been rendered more dynamic by perspective.

As for the pics, why not? I've got a ton of Shotokan photos downloaded to use for reference. Can't hurt to have more reference.

I am a second dan black in shotokan karate, but also take wushu for the "cool weapons factor." Good to see the interest running around, and excellent deviant!
