Welcome to Gaia! ::

lol they are really nice, here are some tips that I'm sure u will enjoy. You have to consider anime is made for animation, so it has a technical build. Mainly because the characters have to be redrawn by many other artists, so consider this, the face is the shape of an egg upside down. Special from the front, the eyes are exactly in the center of the face, unless its a small child. The ears are lined up with the eyes unless he is looking down in which case the ears would be higher, if he is looking up the ears are lower. The body is a little harder to describe but also treat it as shapes. Like the face you can draw it by making a circle and then drawing out the bottom jaw. But really keep practicing and find your own ways too cause thats what its all about. Btw i like your drawings they are really nice and original

My main and strongest suggestion for you is to stop copying (yes copying) anime and start to draw from life most of the time and then study anime styles and take what you learned from real life and incorporate it with the anime style you're studying.

Welll, they where old, and at that time, I didn't really know what to do. And to improve my skills (and my friends and my cousin, who's going to collage for art school agreed) I like to start out with stuff that seems easy, so I go on google or anime stuff, and draw it... Then I move on to other stuff.
Those pics were like two years ago. Exept for the first one with the gaian dude. I rarely do stuff like that and copy stuff from other anime pics. And now I come up with my own ideas and ask people what I should draw. Most people ask me to draw their gaia characters or something.

I kinda stopped using other ideas. I use my own. 4laugh

The main thing I can suggest is trying to make the colouring more... solid.

Also, if you need lineart, go ahead and sketch in pencil first but go over it then with something that won't smudge (I use just a regular ballpoint pen as I'm cheap but most people would probably suggest an actual inking pen) 'cause it'll affect how the colours will come out when you're colouring.

Anatomy could use some tweaking as well.

ya he right just stop copying everything ealse look's good thought

By the way, the first one is the new one. The other ones are the older ones I did a while ago. And the first one was supposed to look like that. It makes it look more sketched than so solid.

I think for your first picture you need to make the outline darker. You can barely see where parts end. Like for you hair. I can tell where it starts but not where it ends. The wings could be darker and well a lot of other things could be too. You have the facial structure down which it really good but the arms need a little work. The amount of asseries, I do not like it overcrowds the picture. Your basic designs are great, expeshially for the animals but work on the pumpkin. Now your coloring. You need to stay withing the lines and be careful how much you choose to blend, like th outfit. I can tell most of the colors you have used for it. You need to work on your blending skills. The yellow/orange by the wings, went to far in and went into the wings. You could work on that too. This one needs a lot of work. (4/10)


For second picture. The facial structer is great and your basic shapes great. You need to make outline darker expeshially in the eyes and plus more if you have hair over them. The eyes are a little lopsided to me and they could be made evener. The neck and shirt are great. The rat looks like it is leaning against something. So you could work on its pose. The tail needs to be done skinner and to a point at the end. They picture overall is good. (7/10)

Thrid picture. Really small but I can make out most of the things. Just darken the outlines and you will be great. Take the purple marks on his face and make them skinner and smaller.(8/10)

The outlines need to be like this one!!! They are great I can see it! The hair great all I can say. You need to work on the wink. His neck seems crooked and the coller is not right. The cows head looks like an owl twisiting his head around so make that more straight. This is a really good picture. (7/10)
