The thing about anime is true, but it's kind of true with anything, a lot of people make the mistake of copying an artist's style that they really, really like. The problem with this is that styles are usually exaggerated forms of life around us, and if you don't understand how something works, you can't break the "rules" so to speak, because...you don't know what those rules are. So if you're serious about art, draw what you see, not what someone else has already drawn. If you're just doing this as a hobby, look up tutorials on deviantART, there's some great resources there for anatomy, coloring, shading, anything you can think of.

As for critique, here are my first thoughts. It looks like it's been drawn with MS paint. It's very pixellated. If that's the intent, that's fine, there's nothing specifically wrong with MS paint if that's what you're going for. Paint Tool Sai is a nice, cheaper alternative to Photoshop, where you can use a tablet and it's really cool because you can paint and create stable, smooth lineart with it. As for colors, they're okay. The shading needs a lot of work. I would suggest looking up lighting tutorials for how to see how light and color interact with one another.

Usually the trial is free, think it costs around $70.

...How does anime not have proportions. Over than the eyes and/or boobs, I see no problem in the body. Unless your talking about THESE

This

I have FireAlpaca but it isn't fully downloadable

 

[Jamborenium]

the animals are pretty good but you need to work a bit more at drawing humans the face looks a bit lopsided and the shading can use more work IMO


though I have right to talk really, since I'm not so good at drawing humans either

Why are you using a swastika symbol?

a swastika isn't necessarily tied to the nazis

it's also the japanese symbol for infinity/life or something icr

anyway, about the critique...

do you draw with a pad or do you just freestyle MS paint it?

 

[g u m m i]

I have more practice drawing animals, heh.

Also I draw with a wavom intous.

 

[Ragdoll]

Also, I was saying oops to using the Swastika symbol...XD

oh oops

 

[Jarrad]

kk

really the only advice I can give you is to just plan everything. Draw a face plan before you actually add details, just so the face is proportionate

never freeball

 

[Hyoshido]

Oh god.
Don't do that hun, switch that s*** ASAP.
Oh my god I can smell the tears of frustration of MS Paint..

[g u m m i]

I keep asking my Dad to buy one but he's budy so... >:/

 

[tamagotchi]

Ehh I use MSPaint lmao

I also use MS Paint but only for pixels, lol.

Anyways, I don't have any critique, but I think that your art is pretty cute. Keep practicing. c:

I found the copy I use of Sai on tumblr, woops.
But yes, try to support them if you can!!

 

[g u m m i]

Aww thank you!

 

[Jamborenium]

I also use only mspaint though I wouldn't call my self an expert TBH

Spoiler: an example

it's a simple program once you get the hang of it,sadly so many people look down upon the program
and think you can only make sh1ttty art on it based on a few drawings, but if you take the time and practice you can make amazing art with it

Spoiler: for example this was made in mspaint

I hope someday I get this good but I doubt lol

 

[g u m m i]

haha well Paintbrush is even worse than MS Paint, I can tell you X','D

 

[Money Hunter]

They look pretty good, and you don't really need paint tool sai to get better. Use gimp and get the hang of layers and the paths tool and that will be enough for your art to get a lot better.

 

[g u m m i]

Ok :3 i'll need to experiment a bit then.
