So, I'm an artistic person with quite a large imagination. When I get bored (like most of you) I look for things to do and usually I just end up doodling :P so these are two doodles (Well... doodles turned picture-ish paha) and one of them is digital. I hope you like them! :)

This here is Callum. Say hi, Callum! .... :D
I believe this to be what Callum Frey, from my story, Mirror, would look like... In anime form! :D vuala! Lookey, there, I CAN be creative ;) (Sorry for the bad quality, I took the picture on my phone ^_^")

This is a close up of his smexy head:

Ohhh. Smexy ;)

Aaand number three:

Yeah, I know. She has a big head. But hey, I don't even have a tablet! :D yay for me~
(Sorry the last one is so blurry... I tried resizing it cause it was too big, but it didn't work :( but I hope you can see it anyway! :D)

You mean to tell me you did that last one with no tablet? -Wow.. And what software did you use? Just curious. I recommend Bamboo tablets. They're awesome. ^-^ It's what I use in my animation class. But anyway, onto my review.

The first two are alright. I didn't quite like the picture quality, but it happens. I think that when drawing anything it's important to pay close attention to proportions. Also, the two seemed like you were going for a sort of Manga look, am I right? There's a lot of tricks to drawing in that style. Also, practice makes perfect.

As for the last picture, the one you did without a tablet, I noticed the eye looks as if it were just pasted on top of the hair. It's sort of distracting and takes away from look of the drawing. I'd re-do that eye and make the hair swoop across it rather than have it behind it.

Good luck with your future artwork. ^-^ Its really a great hobby to have.

For both, the bodies are awkwardly lanky and long in proportion. The girl looks like she should be tipped over hahaha.

Specifically, I like the face you made for "Callum." And for the girl I agree with Smylin that the eye is weirdly covering the hair. By the way, it wasn't her head that seemed big... ;p

Considering they're doodles, excellent job. :)

Great doodles! Like it was already said, pay close attention to proportions. I have to find good references before I start anything, or else I am LOST. x)
Sometimes I draw a dummy figure first just so that I know at least the arms and legs and such will be the right length :)
You're very good with expressions and creating characters. I thought the hair and the eye were drawn beautifully on the girl, and great colors. You should try coloring more of your work :)
But if you look at her tummy *gasp* Where are her organs? Even skinny girls must have them x) And a spine, too, she must have one of those as well.
But practice makes perfect! Keep at it! And keep posting!
