    I got bored one day and decided to draw this.
    Still think I suck at drawing but yeah...

    ~Moved to traditional art as you drew it yourself.

    You don't suck at drawing, you just have proportions off a bit but don't worry, that is something easily improved with practice. I suggest doing some figure drawing or looking closer at figures and practice drawing them to scale. Anatomy is a very hard thing to grasp immediately but after a while it just becomes natural.

    I do like the shading in the eyes and hair but you should definitely keep drawing :3 keep it up.

    Recently I got into drawing because when I was younger I always wanted to be a cartoonist, that never lived up but I picked up a Bamboo and decided to get back into it.
    I will say that at least I'm better than 12 year olds on Deviantart, but I wouldn't call it something "spectacular" also all I'm using is sketchbook express, I've tried looking for good programs like paintool but they're not available for Mac :-(
    Here is a practice drawing I did, I still need to work on hands and shape of the body (shapes for males and all that good stuff) and I can't seem to get hands, no matter how much I do it it never turns out how pictured.
    But I absolutely love drawing faces

    Hands are always absolutely horrible to draw, I'm only just about getting the hang of them. I'm not sure why they are so tricky, it's mostly because the shape they are isn't what you'd expect and when we go to draw them they become a lot more 2D then they actually are. One thing I found useful is taking pictures of my own hands in different positions and drawing them but something I always do are guidelines. I tend to draw a polygon that is the palm and then circles where all the joins of the fingers will be to give the fingers some roundness, I then connect them but it all comes from practice and you will get the hang of it.

    You can also look at tutorials, I always found Mark Crilley on youtube to be particularly helpful, although he is a manga artist and that is his style, his hand videos are quite realistic and rather useful. This is just one of them but there are quite a few if you such his channel.

    That really helps! It'll take a while but eventually I'll get it!
