Ok... the latest drawing is good, but the hair is the same. Seriously, try making the hair flat, and make the head smaller. Try changing the facial expression to something else. People don't always smile the way they do in your drawings. Take a look at real people. They're not as rigid as the ones you drew. Try putting them in different poses.

But that would require effort and more than 5 minutes! He's a busy man, you know.

I seriously doubt that he has a job. I could probably whip something up in five minutes and it would look good. I hardly put any effort or time into the drawing below. Plus, this might help daniel with the hands. Also, this was done with a graphics tablet, which is way harder to use than paper and pencil.

ok i tried putting your criticism in, i changed the pose, the gender, the expression, and the theme and here it is ! And it will be coloured later.

heres the coloured one

Lol man you are SLOOOWWW when you ask for someones criticism I suggest you absorb it mentally instead of taking it as a insult. Draw something realistic, if you want serious anime make your drawings related to things like Bleach and possibly a show like Blood+. Your art although you may think it looks like anime, looks more like a cross over from chibi and garbage. I suggest you drop coloring your pictures for now and stop drawing 1 line for everything, sketch little lines lightly unlike your solid dark lines witch are awkward. Also try using more of the page and draw closer to the middle, then your character will have space to grow. Try taking others criticism and sketch out a skeleton for your character before giving him an abnormal figure.

do you always use the same hair style. i swear that same hair is on everything.

i think you need to try this. I think it will help you better than everyone jumping down your throat. Practice, practice and post something when it becomes totally opposite of what you have ben posting.

theres some improvement from the first drawing to the last few you posted, so your getting a little better however slightly.

If you really have you heart set on anime, get still images from your favorite anime shows, and try copying (not tracing) the characters from it, you'll start to get a feel for how it should look and how to draw it better, also throw out that standing up straight arms down pose, give them more life, don't let them look so stiff

study these

i though you said you would work on the anatomy, stopping the overly-chibi designs, changing a :D into a :l has no difficulty rate either, the only thing that sets that thing apart from being a male is that it has alot of pink in it, if it was black and yellow you would say it was a boy with long hair.

also, what's the ''theme''?

.....your pics from your other post were a lot better than this. my eyes hurt...

I don't mean to brag, but this is what you should really strive for. A background, shadows, and color.

Sarcasm much?

And if you honestly need an opinion on your "art", next time don't add in such an annoyingly colorful background, please. It hurt my eyes. This is of course referring to your latest one.

ok, first off.
read lots and lots of drawing books.
buy a book concerning digital art
checkout loads and loads of anatomy tutorials on the internet,seriously.
watch the anime that inspired you. alot.

because you've got a long road ahead of you concerning getting good in art.
and crop your pictures. forgodsakes.

Ah, srry about the background, heres an uncoloured version

Well mine has started to not look like manga at all really, its just the eyes that give a manga-ey look

Stay away from manga.... When drawn properly, it looks really good. But when it's drawn by a novice, it looks horrible. Work on your people in general, and when you can draw good-looking people, then you can start stylizing. About the picture- it's definitely better than your earlier pictures, but not a lot better. I like how you finally gave it a different pose. The arms are still too thick. Please don't draw muscles until you've figured out normal arms first. If you're going to be serious about art, get a graphics tablet and Photoshop. Go take some more tutorials, and draw until you get carpal tunnel at least twice. Buy a comic book,and look at how the professionals draw it.
