Still shitty anime, but more sketches this time around.

cool! it's great to see errybody getting more active with the artin's.(now the rest of you jump to it*cou'gh*)
I'm not too good with anime anatomy but he looks very slim, delicate, and feminine - idk if this was your intention. He also seems to be suffering from a case of "melting shoulders" and "anime no-chin". I doodled a quick pic to show you what I mean (sorry for the shakiness/pixelness, i did it w/ the mouse in graphicsgale)
he doesn't have to be a linebacker or anything, but even in anime he'd probably have a more broad chest. also the shoulders don't have to be that rigid (i fucked 'em up) but the way you have them now makes him look like he doesn't even have them, like the chest/neck just kinda segueways into arms. the chin is kinda awkward so I start to move it out some, being pointed like it is makes his face look rather skewed, or maybe like he's touching his chin to his neck. sorry if I'm nitpicking too much! i do really like the shadins on the hair.
Just keep practicin' and artin'. One thing that helps me is to make a firm pact to put aside atleast 30 minutes each day for drawing. Keep us posted on your progress.

Yeah, I think that's one of the problems I'm having; started doing anime/manga about 1/2 years ago on and off, so now without any references they sorta go back into that.
I personally felt like the image was feminenly homely- like, change things around a bit and he'd become she, like that main female character from questionable content. My intent was mostly to make him curvy and thin, but I think I effed up at the pointed places where.
I have to work on shoulders. Can never get them straight when trying to draw thin.

Just make the chin and face not look like it's going into the twilight zone like in your avatar and you should do fine with more practice to get rid of your rustiness. Cause right now it looks like someone took your picture into mspaint and stretched the left side of his face to the left. Plus be more confident with your strokes cause right now it's a linearting nightmare almost like you were scribbling up and down shading the whole way instead of forming a proper outline.
lol yeah
i don't really have any ideas of what i wanna draw
i got ideas of what i want to be able to draw
but the ability block's there
for now i'm mostly just fucking with figures in front and 3/4 view, seeing what i can do i hide what i can't and different styles of eyes, hair, etc., as i try out sideways and dynamics
and hands >.<
Testing out shapes atm anyways- getting general shapes of things down

zlright, while i realize exact how good the printer at home is, and how little time i have left with it, i'm getting the mini notebook i've had for a while and putting up the drawings i've doodled online. For the most part, it's in chronological order :\
]Ignore the art thing- it was in comparison to how i wanted to be.
Meh. Asian guy with the hat. Rahashed quite a few times, actually.
The main char, roy. Looks rather confident, and the suit was for the context of the shit that was about to fall on him
drawn trying to think of shit to draw. This was actually drawn before roy.
Bar. The blur is because i used lots of hard shading with the lead pencil, and after six months, shit...
Classic. This is the latest drawing i've done on paper, back to the ol anime shit. It was drawn in the last week, i think...
Trying to draw hands. My left hand is always the model. For some strange reason the later hand figures are more disproportionate than this one.

I pulled the art into a new tab to check and yes the legs need to be a tad bit longer. The bottom of the pantlegs should reach the bottom of your paper, and the shoes will go off the page.
At least your line art isn't a shading nightmare. Do yourself a favor and get out of the habit of shading/blackcoloring your pencil work. It creates smudges and confusion. Just do the regular outlines so you know what you're doing with what instead of scribbling in a weird attempt to make it look better.

googled man face and girl, and began drawing.
for some reason this scan was moderately crappy. anyways, spend a bit more time on these two than normal drawings. bumrushed a bunch of stuff near the end though

so uh
massive amount of sketches. At least in size :F
one at the top are oldest, ones at the bot are newest. The first six are messing around, there's some anatomy study after that (proper or not), weird stuff, *lots* of hand practice, and some elegance later on as I mess around.
