    Did you really draw this seven months ago? :\ It looks exactly like the other pictures you've posted, which leads me to question if you just posted that in attempt to make it seem better in certain contexts. "Oh, well if you did it seven months ago....etc. etc. etc."

    Again, not going to bother to list flaws. If this is as old as you said, however, this just goes to show that if you jump steps, you don't improve at all. This looks on near if not the same level as the other stuff you've posted.

    I'm not likely even going to comment on this kind of stuff anymore because it's such a hopeless cause. And I won't sugarcoat it. If you've been told that your newer work needs a lot of improvement I don't know what would inspire you to post the same stuff which is no better. Draw something recent, and DRAW FROM REAL LIFE IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANATOMY. This also applies if you can't contain symmetry and other major points in forms.

    Obviously most people post in here for congratulating comments and not for actual critique [you know who you are]. That's fine, but I think you should have a little more right to feed your ego when doing so.

    Seriously, this is going absolutely nowhere.

    i agree with alice. this looks like it's the same level as more of your recent pictures.

    this drawing is beyond your level of ability. draw more from real life. this picture is out of proportion- the eyes are too big, the head is too wide. draw realistic pictures of people until you get the proportions right. jumping to this will not get you anywhere.

    if youre looking for comliments on it, i dont think you'll get many from users here.

    I don't expect comments...I realy didn't expect to get it critisized...everyone is not perfect, and the reason I post these is to show that I ain't perfect..nobody is..no mater if I do improve..I'll still never be perfect...

    You can't draw stylized images either though. You're just creating the illusion that you can because it's a bit higher quality than people in your class. That doesn't make it good. Drawing talent is usually a born gift, but it can be developed.

    its not a matter of being perfect. if your going to post your pictures, you have to expect comments/critisim.

    if you want to get better, you have to practice drawing. even if you think you cant draw realistically, starting off like that will help when you draw this.

    Use pictures for reference.
    Sometimes even tracing from a coloring book or something can help you improve.
    (On a side note: NEVER post any thing traced, It is art theft and you will very likely get caught.)
    I started out with tracing, and really studying other art works. (well...really I watched a lot of cartoons..) Till I was able to develop my own stile, and draw with out having to trace at all.
    How to Draw books are also a big help. I have several.
    Mostly though it comes down to how much you are willing to practice and change your mistakes.
