Blue, anim is one of the most unrealistic forms of cartoon there is. Look at the facial proportions in any anim. The eyes take up almos the whole head, the noses are about as big as this ">" and they usually don't even have mouths until they're talking. Not to mention that their heads are huge (7.5 heads tall? Try like 5) and the necks are always proportionally tiny. Anim is highly styalized, and is not meant to be realistic.

Anyway, I though your drawings were just fine. They don't suck at all. Don't let blue put you down like he has so many others.

and alot of anime is ment to be realistic try acutally learning about the medium before you say anything about it

Well the eye's are a misconseption. There s a lot of proportionate detail in amie it's not just draw someone with big hair and eye's, they allso hav bodies and most manga do have the body's fixed right i'm just saying in this one The arm's are way to short and unbalenced it's like one half of the arm is longer the fingers are okay but also look at the torso you need to make it fit the body the eye's are spread to far apart and the forhead is to big and the leg's should be more natural. The hair is good...um i dont eve wanna know what's going on with the midsection and i dident mean to sound rude with the suck thing sorry if I did though.

I can only draw dragons. I suck a people. Actually, I don't suck at anything I draw but I can't draw people very well. I can but it takes way longer than dragons and my dragons R still better. Very good work, with a little more practice and effort, I'm sure you can become even better ^_^

Blue, there's this thing called constructive criticism. Let me give you some.

Please try to not use such harsh words. It may seem the norm to you for whatever reason, but it can really hurt people's feelings. Try giving them solutions instead of just saying "this sucks, that sucks..."

Now...Seto Girl, I think your art is really good. Your facial expressions are very nice, and I esp. enjoyed the Yu-Gi-Oh portrait you did! Your creatures are also very nice! Blue is right about the proportions being a little off. I had the same problem when I started to draw anime...and I still do come to think of it. When you draw a person, try and model it after your own body. I find this especially helpful with hands and feet! (My major trouble spots.) Also, this link has a tutorial that explains drawing anime a lot better than I can!

http://www.howtodrawmanga.com/

It's very helpful! And they sell some good manga drawing materials too!

Keep up the good work! I want to see some more drawings!! ^^
Sometimes you are tired.
Sometimes you are hungry.
Sometimes you are angry.
Sometimes you just don't think you have it in you.
Those are the days.
Those are the most important days.
Those are the days when you need it most.
Those are the days that you want it most.
Those are the days you have the most.

Yeah, I read them before I replied to you. Don't you think it would be a little more helpful, and a lot less hurtful if you said constructive things in place of saything that things suck or not? I'm not going to argue with you about this, but it is just a suggestion. I'm not the only one who was worried about your crude language in your first post.

You know they are not bad.
The Dark Magician Girl is a bit off the line but your Blue-Eyes White Dragon is almost perfect ^^ Why can't people just not have problems with other member's posts?! Godammit, Skye, blue will learn and people don't push others in PC. Geez, just get along, we know its hurtful you don't have to newsflash.

Well, then don't contradict yourself and have a problem with my posts. I find Blue's behavior really offensive, and I have a right to voice it. So that's enough of that. If you noticed my last post, I said I wanted to drop it.

Blue, this argument is so over. I was talking about your first post. Now leave me be, and let's all get back to discussing art. This is an ART thread after all.
