Okay, before I even begin, my art skills madly suck! xp I only draw when I can't help it and let me tell you, it's rare. So, I'll only show you avatar art that I've drawn starting from the oldest to newest.

My advice is to study the human body, by first learning realism you will effectivley be able to do other styles of art.

Ears, not elf ears, normally start where the bottom of the nose is to where the eyebrow is, can seem different depending on the angle your looking at.

For arms, upi either have the arms without muscle that is pretty 'flat' or 'smooth' wichever word works better, or the more muscular arm where you would see bulges where the muscle is, the bulge becomes bigger when the muscle is being flexed/used, and when its not its more relaxed.

The body isnt the most easiest thing to learn, though i find it much easier than eyes, noses, hands, feet, and for the moment rose petals.

I cant really explain how to do hair, but your hair isnt bad sweatdrop

In the second to last picture of the girl, it looks like you tried to draw the collar bone, simple as it seems, it is a bit tricky to learn, you dont really see it connect with your should, but it does go in that direction, try feeling your collar bone, seeing when it sticks out most, where it goes, how it goes ect.

her chest looks like its being puched up, i dont see any signs of a shirt or bra, so it shouldnt stick out as much as it does, the would be loosley hanging with no outside support. (hope this makes sense.)

I can tell you have gotten much better on the eyes though.
The last ones eyes are very well drawn heart

With layered clothing you may benefit from trying to make certain parts look like they are coming off the body a bit, an example picture since i dont think im explaining this to well

You can see with this persons shirt (even though technically they are leaning forward), but it shows how the clothes can come off the body. Not the best example but its better than nothing sweatdrop

and another thing for clothes they wrap around the body, this is a little different for baggy clothes were they just kind of sag

Hope this helps you, heart and hope i didnt sound offensive or nothing sweatdrop

It doesn't sound offensive at all, but it gives me a lot to learn. owo

Yep, I need to work a lot at art, but I suppose it's because I usually never pay attention to drawing it.

I shall take your advice and use it to the best of my ability.

Thank you for your advice. 3nodding

Your eyes have definitely gotten progressively better.

my advice is just to COPY COPY COPY. That's how I started out, I could only copy screenshots and pictures stuff for years.
Trace occasionally if you want to. But seriously, copying helps.

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

OMGEH!!

I see meh! >3333

I was like, I have to ask if thats my avi.. but then I noticed the name >3333333333333333


that makes me happeh...


My notes:

Draw the full head first! Get the shape right, then add in the eyes/hair second. It looks as if you are trying to add in the hair with drawing the head shape.

others to follow. >3

did some notes for you on the third one. >3


User Image

Notes:

Try not to make the eyes so big... I know it is animeish to do so, but if you want anime, try going for the shape they use, and less humanistic/realism type. >3

The eye brows on a person sit up higher then what you have them set at.

Hair tips:

You have hair on the back of your head, so you have to draw it up to the neck unless its a really short hair cut!

Hair naturally curvs, unless you have uber straigh hair. >3 A short little cut like that one should flip out and in, out on the outside, and in around the face/neck area.

-on the second one... if you have questions as to what it says, just let me know. >3-

lol, a few more notes I have drawn out for you...

User Image

about the eyes... once again, any questions on the hand writing let me know! -mum is still trying to figure out how I can draw with my hand writing that horrid. >3-

User Image

Colar and another example on hair. >3333

User Image

more hair....

User Image

on this image: The left shoulder has no slant to it, as where the right one does. Shoulders and necks do not create almost an L like shape, rather a curved bent L... >.< here look at the way his neck and shoulders connect. >3

OwO More tips!!! Yay/aaah! A lot of things you said, Rosean, make a lot of sense. I'll need to work on that 'back hair' and the complete the drawing even if that part isn't there thing. Once again, it all makes sense and I'll most definately will be looking back at all of these notes. 3nodding

Oh, for the last one, it isn't supposed to be showing his shoulders, just that part of the jacket thing that was there.

Haha, major xd on the photo for showing me how to draw the shoulders and stuff for the guy.

I thought you were trying to do that, but even when you are, a light sketch of the shoulder will help make the lapel and popped up colar look right. >3
