    I got a How to draw manga book for my birthday and after lots of practice I made up this guy! I also had some help from the Fruits Basket manga!

    I think he's alright but could you tell me if I should change something? Remember constuctive critism!!!

    Happy Face
    Sad Face
    What face
    Confused face
    Thinking Face
    Neutral face
    Angry face

    I would like to thank Goimez for resizing and giving the URL for these pics.

    Please tell me this *isn't* the book you're talking about. First off, if it is, throw that piece of **** away right now. It's a horrible influence, and I'm appauled to see it was even published. Now actual critique P:. These all lack any sort of style - they're generic and theres nothing recognizable about them. When I say generic, I mean like more generic than my stuff. The eyes, facial structure, it's been done tons of times. You're obviously a beginner, so I wouldn't expect anything too developed, but you should likely consider going with things your own way than ripping from a book.

    I'm not even going to comment on the rest, just because I think you need more experience in general drawing before you go into animu stuff. Draw from real life. learn how to manipulate a pencil before anything else. You need a much better grasp on anatomy before you start drawing manga or else you'll look like that random person on dA.

    No it's not that book, it's some other book I read and umm, thanks? So draw from something in real life, like a person before going to anime, okay, I'll try that, thanks!
