I've been here for a long time and most of the old links are broken. I think some people would still like to see how I've progressed so I'll repost the images. If a link breaks again (facebook links tend to expire) just tell me.

I did notice that so i've recently started mapping out my character and their anatomy before i draw. The stick figure and circles stuff. I'd normally draw head down or foot up which i guess explains the extreme inconsistency of my work in comic sketches

Yeah, what Mai said. Anatomy overall. You've got the idea. It's was great in the light and shadow digital pic (my favourite out of all).

Have you learned off any books?
No one is perfect . . . that's why there's erasers and extra paper.

Yeah it does help but it normally seems so useless and makes drawing such a hassle I would end up with a sketchbook full of pictures I'll never finish. Its really great for when I'm trying to draw the same character constantly with correct proportions to show off multiple costume designs. But I've never really used it to its full potential I've mostly used it to help understand how to draw a certain pose i want to draw.

Huhu~, I see this once again.

Guidelines are necessary. You need them. They are very far from useless, and I want to start to drill that into your head a little bit.

I was exactly where you were - I thought they were useless as well. I never saw the point of them. But now, I can't stop using them; I need them! Without them, my figures would look close, but not perfect. The human brain is very powerful in picking up these subtleties of what is good and what is not; what looks right and what looks wrong.

Is it a hassle at first? Sure. But you'll soon learn that it becomes far from a hassle, and rather a time saver, when you start putting your characters in very difficult poses. Those little preliminary sketches made of guidelines, sticks, and basic shapes will save you a load of frustration.

Perhaps you do not understand their use now. But you will, given time. Especially once you start delving into anatomy, proportions, figure drawing, etc.

Good luck, young warrior. Keep drawing.

I'll take your word for it. I hope it'll also help to start drawing a wire frame for my backgrounds.

I haven't critiqued anyone in a while, so here's a critique;

The first thing i immediately noticed is this. You have a natural "lean" towards the left side. What this essentially means is, that you're drawings are crooked/leaning. A good way to fix this however, is that whenever you start your figure drawing, you should establish a line of gravity using a ruler.

Second is, anatomy. Now, i realise that you're drawing in a stylised mannor, so what i say may not apply 100%.
When drawing a figure, it is best to construct a basic skeleton to work from. This will allos you to create a more, anatomically correct figure without it looking flat, and will help you understand how to fully draw poses out. The box technique is good, however i opt for a different way.
Also - The arm is drawn wrong. The left hand would not be able to hold the axe properly at that angle.

This was done very quickly, so the drawing quality isn't the best. The main point i'm trying to show is construction, not the finished product. :)

This face has allot of errors. I feel it may be beneficial for me to critique this too.
The first and most evident problem with the face here, is that i don't think you've used any construction lines to create it, and instead you suffered from symbol drawing. When creating any face, we begin with the oval, and then, with this particular view, we place a smaller oval/circle in the middle.
We then, cut our initial oval in half, creating our x and y axis.
The X axis that we have drawn becomes our brow line.
Next, we draw the base of our face. I usually start this where teh X axis hits the big circle/oval. (Marked in pink)
After this, we then begin to illustrate where our jaw is, i usually do this using the Y axis, where the line hits the lowest oval. (marked in gren.)
Spoiler


Great, now we have the base of our head! Now we can add details.
I'll start with the nose and ear. The ear is pretty self explanatory, and is placed in our mini circle! :P
The nose is easy in this view. To start off with placement, we draw a triangle. This allows us to see the rough shape and size of the nose, and can be drawn lightly, multiple times inorder to see what size looks best. (I usually guestimate. :P)
Eye is explained in picture. The eye is usually drawn smaller in realism.
Now for lips. The lips must be drawn where the jaw-line meets the skull, and in realism, it's height is half the distance between the eyes and nose.
Spoiler
We're almost finished!
Now, all we have to do, is establish are chin and jaw line properly. This isn't difficult, and like lips, can be drawn in many ways.
Practice makes perfect.
Spoiler

So, after all this, we can then commence to clean up, add hair and other fun details
Hope this was helpful, and here's to see the difference =
Spoiler

Note - I messed up part of the nose. (The nostril.) It's not usualyl that wide, but it's not an important part of the lesson, so i'm too lazy to change it.

Thanks, but for a few critiques on the first image (the school girl with the axe) I was attempting to show the angle and perspective of her arm because the handle of the axe is slanted forward in the Z axis. But i did fix a lot of things in the digital version. I tried to remove that slant but after a while anime studio starts to lag because it renders things ahead of time so i started to get lazy. I'll try to move her hand to the left because now i really see how exaggerated the perspective is.

And thank you so much for the help on the realistic face design. I knew there were a lot of problems on that one because i did it without an actual picture of a person. Part of the lean you see is that i scan the pictures without taking them out of the sketchbook which makes it difficult to align it correctly.

A few things are still off because i haven't done any measurements but i'll probably work on that later

-Fixed the position of her arm

-Tilted the image gently to counteract the tilt of image traced over.

wasn't sure what to do with the thumb though Since i flipped her hand when i moved it to the other side i needed to keep the thumb on the same side.
