Hello there!

I do see a difference in the three pictures =)

Compared to the other two pictures, the 'Generation 3' picture is easier on the eye - because of the greater use of curves rather than straight lines.

Practice is all you need. =) Perhaps try with some anatomy studies. Study your favorite manga/comic, real life pictures, your (unsuspecting) friend/brother/sister.

In general, it's better to draw humans with curves rather than straight lines and sharp angles - a curve looks better for the face shape than two straight lines. Same with arms and hands.

Hair's a tricky topic - anime hair tend to come in clumps, and has a starting point: usually from the center of the head, or from a side parting, etc. The direction of the bangs should indicate where it originates from - and again, curves makes the hair look 'livelier'.

Clothing - ah, that's another step further. Look at things around you, they're as good a resource as anything. Ties start with a 'knot' at the top, (where the tie is tied), then flows down. Collars are turned out from the neck, and hangs over the rest of the shirt

Bottomline, practice, practice practice.

Good luck!
