First Attempt... (New Image)

at Anime! Tell me what you think...





Feeble Attempt to improve

Hey fries, I'm KD, and I'll be your reviewer today!


Pros:

-Hair. You totally conquered anime hair here!
-Texture/wrinkles in his clothes.
-You did a good job with the shading on his bandanna and his clothes.

Cons:

-Eyes. Er, he looks cross eyed, lol! Move the irises to a different part of his eyes or put in pupils.
-Mouth is too high up on his face, even though this is anime.
-I think this would look better if his nose was a teensy bit longer.
-I can't tell...but did you give his nose a nostril? I can't tell, since a strand of hair is blocking his nose. I hope you didn't. If you did, I would take it out, because generally anime people don't have nostrils.
-The shape of the sides of his face are not the same.


Overall:

It needs some work, but overall, this is pretty good. I totally get the anime feeling in this piece. Keep up the good work, hope I helped!

Thanks KD! Yes you helped alot! This is my first time doing one of these so I'm not so sure of everything... yet.
I knew his eyes looked funny , I'll make sure to fix it ASAP. And I'll make sure to fix everything else as well. Really?! They dont have nostrils... in the picture that I got it looks like he does. Oh well I'll take care of it.
And he is looking one way, he is not facing the middle(Hope that covers the shape of his sides).

Hi!

Oh, I really like it. I think you've got the shading and the outline work nicely. The hair and the eyes really stand out a lot! I think you could try coloring this, though. It would add a lot of depth to the drawing. Could you also try to add a background? Wherever we are in the world, we're never in a blank continuum of whiteness. It make the drawing seem a bit more realistic.

I also had a tiny note about the drawing. If you don't have a scanner, that's fine, but you have to be extra careful. I can see a lot of stuff that isn't paper, and that isn't good. It distracts my attention from the actual picture. Try to lay it down a table or other flat surface and zoom in! Once you upload it, look carefully for any stuff like this that can be easily cropped out.

Overall, I think it's a great start. Keep drawing, and PM me if you have any questions.

Oh, don't worry about the coloring part. I've been trying to get my mom/dad to take me to the art store to get some nice color pencils, and other magnificent art supply.(Problem= is the good Art Store I wanna go to is far).
I never thought about the background... I'll see what can go good with this character.
Yeah, my scanner broke sorry. I layed it down on my sketchbook... Next time Ill make sure to take this advice.
Thanks Elinor! I'll make sure to do that.
