I need critiquing. Please be nice, I get a really weird feeling when people say things like, Is that big black thing on the face supposed to be the eye? Cause I got one like that and, and... Yeah. I dunno. So, just constructive stuffs! Heres a few I recently did (I don't really like 'em, *sigh*);    please critique nice-ly...

Do you draw through?
I think you could benefit greatly by the technique. It will help your clothing and hair and all that sit more believably.
Basically draw your character "nude" and hairless. Get the body worked out first. Then draw the clothing over top of that and the hair over the skull. This keeps everything properly proportioned and properly placed.
You have some cute ideas.
This next bit I'm going to say because you'll hear it eventually. Try some life drawing. What this means is observe things/people around you and try drawing what you see rather than what you think you see. You'd be surprised at how much this will transfer over to your anime/mange style. If you're a book person, a great book to help teach you to observe for drawing is Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing more from you. smile

Ah, I got some advice from a friend's cousin (I know, random much, huh?), and re-did a doodle. So, here it is:  Next, I'll do a draw-through, and see how it comes out.

Alot of your problems stem from anatomical errors. Study the human head and skull Even though you are drawing anime, the facial features should bear a general resemblance to realistic human form. The eyes look too big and are disproportionate to the head. Also, eyes are spheres inside of a socket and should have a ball-like feel to them.

You're drawing style is really pretty cute! Some general advice that will help you in the long run:
Avoid drawing the "one eye covered by bangs" or "hands behind the back," etc. like the plague. Most people will only end up thinking that it's a cop-out and you'll likely end up stuck drawing the same things over and over again for a while. Getting used to drawing both eyes, different eye shapes, hand gestures and poses really helps you learn to draw more dynamic images in the future.
Brushing up on some anatomy and life drawing will further polish your skills. :]

I just usually end up erasing and re-drawing them again and again, because the second eye has to be EXACTLY the same as the first. And with the hands, I always get the size wrong, in proportion to the arm, but looking at my own arm/hand helps. 3nodding thanks for the advice!

Do you like to read and look all over the internet. To me it seems u might need help with human's anatomy, soo . . . There is a lot of help with anatomy problems and how to draw from them. my advice is (if u got no money, like me half the time) to go to ur nearest library and with a notebook go and read and practice from them. If for any reason u don't like to go to the library (library-phobic or other) then put in google "Human anatomy art" and for starters see these pages: http://fineart.sk/index.php?s=16&cat=14fineart anatomy biggrin maybe u might have heard of this site, if not here is something of a preview: artist hospital

I can already see improvement. But really, just practice drawing real people...faces, clothes, hands everything. You will be amazed at how much it helps. If you haven't already, check out posemaniacs.com.

I'm living with false hope
And my eyes just want to see a ray of light
I'm gonna find it in my fairy tale...
For anatomy practice, try Posemaniacs.com .
It's a pose website. They have a feature where it puts up a random pose every 30 seconds for gesture drawing. They say if you do that for 10 minutes every day, you'll improve.

There are two things that I want you to start to consider when you draw. It will make an improvement in your work. First, balance.  For now, make an upside down T so you can check that leaning. Head is over center of feet if the body is centered. Like so.  As the weight shifts, the standing leg (the one your weight is on) is under your head. This keeps you from falling over. Like so.  Try to draw think of the space that the person is taking up. Rather than a square, draw a cube. Start off doing very basic shapes. And when you feel you understand those, put the same shapes together to make other things. It makes things that look harder, like people, much easier.  Put the two concepts together and you get the following. Simpleapplicationsof those two very basic rules.
