Just what I draw. Most of it will be off Google images until I get better at this :P
Constructive criticism greatly appreciated. The first one is Shana from Shakugan no Shana.

Very nice. Practice makes perfect. I remember some time ago I picked an image off Google (It was an image of Riley from The Boondocks) and I drew it a few times, eventually I was able to draw some parts of the image from my mind, like the eyes for example. As you practice you'll get better, and then you won't need Google since you'll be able to put the puzzle pieces together with your mind. It requires constant practice though, it has been years since I was drawing constantly, and now I can't really make good things with my mind. Whatever I make ends up looking crappy. I need to start practicing again...

Looks nice, the tone difference is quite nice. I'll give you a few heads up for shading;

- When trying to achieve a dark tone, I recommend you start shading by layers. So start with a semi hard pencil, like HB. Then start to layer more with softer pencil if you have any(4B, 6B). Why do you layer? Well it gives a very smooth finish when your done and gives you a lot more control over the darkness and tone variation of the shade.

- Another tip is when something is overlapping each other, and they're both dark. Like how Shana's coat is overlapping the clothes underneath, they're both dark, so its hard to see where they separate. A good way to fix that is to add a tiny white line to add another layer to your drawing. example:

 

. The white line helps to break up dark areas and make the drawing seem less.. ..flat. You'll notice this in a lot of drawings, its a good rule to go by.

Im looking forward to seeing more!

I decided that I wanted to try color, so I'm learning how to use colored pencil. This is Sekai from School Days (since I was stupid enough to watch it.)

This is really nice.~
Drawing pictures that are in front of you is amazing practice. I'm too lazy to do the same. I think it'd be nice to see you change up some parts of the outfit/hair, just to practice drawing from your mind.

Inactivity was due to vacation and anime xD I drew a ton of halfhearted sketches due to lack of time. I'm getting a tablet eventually, so I'm looking for advice regarding use of that. Anyway, I'll probably redraw some of these and color them. I'm really looking forward to drawing evil Rena >


Eventually.
