Ok I drew this like 3 weeks ago and I want to see wat people would think of it. This is the first time I have ever post my drawing on the Internet. I know i'm not that good at drawing; in fact I learn how to draw from just wathing Naruto. Oh, and I took a picture of this with my phone so sorry about the lighting in the room. I call it "Hitoshi Inazuma". So uhh.... Tell me wat u think. mrgreen

I like it, but it just looks like his head is really thin.

But then again, I can't judge anyone.

It's a good start. The first suggestion I'd like to give you is to NOT learn how to draw from cartoons and anime!
It's the worst thing you can do, and if you get into the habit, it'll be hard to shake later in life.
I know that it seems better to learn how to draw anime from anime shows, but you have to remember that most professional anime artists learned how to draw real people before they drew anime.
Learn the basics of human anatomy before trying to cartoonize people. Practice drawing real people from pictures or even practice drawing yourself with a mirror, you'll be a lot better for it.
As for the drawing, one thing you have to remember that eyes are usually one eyes-width apart from each other. That being said, your eyes are too close to each other. He needs a little more fore-head, the hair line is too low. The nose and lips are a bit too simplistic for my tastes, but I understand that's how it usually is in anime, isn't it?
Like I said, it's a good start, just needs some polishing and practice.

I usually have/had the same issue with the eyes so I had to start drawing balls as eyes and draw three to make both eyes and the space between them.

That's how I do it with my sketches, except for Man-Sae's one xD
