recently started drawing (manga/anime style)

[Mantis]

A few days ago I started actively drawing and I would want to ask you guys to rate my progress so far and give me some advice if possible.

My first attempt at drawing male and female hair.

My first attempt at drawing a female figure, tighs came out a bit too big

No idea why the last 2 photos are sideways they were not taken like that.

Ive mainly been practicing eyes and now im slowly moving over to drawing the bodies.

 

[Mantis]

Bad.

Thanks i guess

 

[Mantis]

No, mean its horrible. Talk to my brother ThePhantomDev, he has been drawing for 8 going on 9 years

Cool I have never drawn manga or anime shit before and i havent tried drawing in like 2-3 years, I wanted to see if people could give me tips or anything. Only been doing this for like 2 days

I wish I was at home i'd show you my old sketchbook first pages that look really similar to this and where I ended after keep it up, but make sure you practice all anatomy and dynamic posing primarily as it'll help your work look more complete and less stiff looking.

Wow, you are doing really well! Everyone starts somewhere so literally just keep practicing and you WILL get better. Regardless though, those eyes you drew are really good! I suck at eyes myself LOL.
Not that I’m some sort of expert on anime or anything, but from my experience drawing human bodies and other stuff in general, here’s a few pointers! (Take with a grain of salt because as I said, I’m no anime expert!)

-the full body you drew (really nice by the way, love your use of different guide lines to help you out!) but, she’s a little tall. To measure this I usually go by the measurement that a cartoony person should be around 5 “heads” tall. I attached a graphic I quickly drew to maybe help you visualize this. Of course if you like the look of taller or shorter (shorter would be more chibi usually) then go for it! For me though, that’s how I measure a good amount of cartoon.

-You practiced a ton of amazing eyes, great job! It might be beneficial to practice two of each though, that way you can get better at the mirrored version like you’ll need to do on an actual face. I never did this either when I was starting out, and to this day I HATE trying to match both eyes. It’s a good thing to practice! (I certainly need to)

-For the heads, I noticed you did draw a little circle guideline on some of them (great job, guidelines are SO helpful!) but remember, that circle with the chin under it is actually the person’s skin. Hair should be slightly higher than the skin, so that it looks like an actual object (also will make your heads look a little more shapely!)

I’ve attached a little graphic I quickly drew to show some of the pointers remember though I don’t really think I’m an expert on anime, I’m still just learning and improving, so test out these points and then figure out what works best for you
