Why do young artists always try to produce manga-ish characters? Trust me, you'll have an hard time improving if you don't expand your horizons.
Usually I'd just delete your post.. but I sort of feel obligated to say my two cents here. So I'll take the bait.

I, personally, cannot think of a more incorrect statement. We can do and draw what we damn well please. This forum and the art within it is for fun. No one here is trying to get true recognition from any acclaimed source; merely enjoying the work we do and showcasing it. Also, the content of one's art doesn't determine if they improve or by how much/little. I can spend every second of my life drawing a circle and that circle will be just a little bit better than the last. How come it's only anime/manga artists that get the brunt of this accusation? No one ever told those still-life artists to knock it off cause they'll never get anywhere. Or no, I got it, it's because cartoonists and illustrators aren't making "real art".

Seriously, posts like this are rude, dismissive, and not even addressing the artist in some kind of useful or constructive way. Not to mention being a serious necropost. We've got a two month revival rule in A&D, so please read the rules before posting again. I'm closing this for now to prevent further revival with the hopes that the owner will contact me so it may be reopened and update this at some point (hi Kouzan! <3).
