Why do I even bother going to PP. I expect some really nice art and people who take constructive crit well, but I never get that. I should just learn and never got to PP again.
I really hate it when someone who asks for crit gets it, and then falls back on the excuse of "it's just my style," or "it's anime. It's not supposed to have anatomy."

A style is like a signature to me. You may draw something realistically, or in a traditional medium, and your style can come through in the stroke of the brush, or a particular way in which you shade, or the weight of a mark. When I draw with charcoal, I have a very scratchy, sketchy style that ALWAYS shows through into my digital works as well. I can also draw an exaggerated human, like the girls and guys on those anime shows, and I will still have a sketchy line until I make an effort to clean it up, even then, my painting is still sketchy in a way. That is my style.
You claiming anime as your style is a joke. It's not a legit excuse and artists that have put their time into the craft and are going to school for it laugh at your ignorance. Drop the anime "style" and learn the basics like all the great artists have, including you anime/manga idols. They didn't get to be as good as they are by just sticking one one genre of art and refusing to learn the basics.
