That's sick man! You're a really good drawer. Thanks for uploading it.

appreciate it mango

another one I did this past week, usually do one 24x18 portrait per week but I'm getting a lot faster at them

pinkman?

Yes ;_; I cri evy tim at that scene

Your coloring is pretty good, it works for an anime style.

as you said yourself the line work is pretty clumsy. what tool did you use to draw the lines?

There are few flaws that I can point out.

Probably the biggest flaw, that also serves as the root for most of the other flaws, is that it's not a complete picture. there's no background, and the way she just cuts off looks very unsettling, especially when there's no background.

Not having a background wouldn't be a problem, if she was facing towards us. But because she has her back turned to us, there isn't a focal point. If there was a face showing, our eyes would be drawn to her face, but as it is now there's nothing that draws us in.
If there was a background, something withing that background would work as the focal point. it would also make it look like she's looking at the focal point along with the viewer.

The stance either suggests that she's leaning against a wall, or that she's about to fall on her back. probably the later one.. it's a very unbalanced stance. though it does manage to make her look very carefree, which I assume was your intention.
Because the image abruptly cuts off, and there's no background, we have no clue what's actually going on.

The last thing I could mention (though this is pretty nitpicky) is that she has her hand in her pocket. If we knew what the setting was, for example a winter setting, then maybe it wouldn't bother me, but hiding hands in pockets or behind the characters back often strikes to me as way for the artist to avoid drawing hands.
Because there's no real focal point, the hands in the pocket become the focal point, even though they're not meant to. At least my eyes are constantly being drawn to her pocket... what's she hiding in there?
When it comes to gesture, a character who is hiding her hands seems like she has something to hide.

i dont necesearely agree with the background stuff. (i actually dont know why it ended up trancelucent though, glitch, or maybe i acidentally deleted the last layer/ saved it as a png.) if youre just focusing on the character, background stuff can be destracting. this si one of the reasons alot of concept art evolving around characters often has a plain background collor. backgrounds tend to give people ideas of where this character is from, where it lives, what it does. a character is able to tell a story as it is. if you need a background to help tell the story, then maybe your character isnt good enough. though this is just a randomn skecth. also, when you are trying to express/ show a emotion/ mood, a focal point isnt always good thing, as you want the whole body language to read. i agree on the rest though. it feels really cut of. the hand thing is just to help the feel of the image/ mood/ body language. i actually like drawing hands, but look at the picture again, where would you put your hands? just hanging down? that would look wierd. the picture is way to small for linework, i realize that. used the deafualt round 1 pixel brush.. thanks for the input apreciate it alot.

that's a 1px brush? nigga you gotta draw much bigger!

What I meant by the background comment was that as it is right now, it kinda lacks a purpose.

it's obvious that the character is the main point of the drawing, because there's nothing else there, but we don't get much out of the character because her back is facing towards us.

That picture would work much better with a background, because it looks like she's looking at something... what is she looking at? a background would tell us. But because there's not background, we have no clue. thus the drawing looses its purpose.

It really doesn't work as a character drawing either because her characteristics can't really be shown without a face. sure the gesture says something about her, but with her back facing towards us she becomes less of an actual character, and more like a random person walking in front of us. she's seems like she's distant and unimportant to the viewer.

if you want to portray an actual character, then you should try to include things in the drawing that help us distinguish her as an actual person.
Back of the head isn't really a distinguishing factor in someones characteristics.

youre right, but i wasnt going for a character design or anything. i just wanted to know how i did when it comes to anime. i dont know anything about anime.

well, the most distinguishing factor about anime is the head.. mainly the eyes and hair. rest is just over simplified anatomy.

so if you want to see how good you're at anime,then draw some heads!

thats amazing, better than anything i've drawn
the only criticism i could make is that the hoodie looks too long/stretched
9/10

i wouldnt use a grey background when making something collorfull. also try to desaturate the collors a bit. i know its suposed to be collor full, but maxed out satureted collors hurt your eyes, and doesnt look natural.

man thought that was a picture!

that's not a picture?

yes

The band is Rock/Metal It's called everture They want it to be like this: EVERTURƎ

The rest is up to you if you want ideas i can throw em out (FB Banner is 850 pixels by 315)

dude, use white text with black out lines, that easy!

you could recolor it to make it darker and use white text, or lighter and use black text.
or use some sort of text box, rather than putting text straight on the background

the blog theme i have wont do that and im way too lazy to recolor it
but thanks for the suggestions
