    Was bored one evening. Watching Anime. Wanted to do something. Decided to draw.

    Comments?

    Looks good only thing I see is that you missed the line above the left eye(her right) also I would suggest maybe adding some shading to the picture to help match the original. Great drawing <3 sky

    suggestion: don't draw anime.
    people i know who want to draw anime have basically developed a skill of mimicking,
    they lack understanding of proper proportions and understanding of light,
    because they never learned these things, they just taught themselves to copy anime all the time.
    just my 2 cents on that.

    I find myself agreeing with titmar. As far as lighting and realism go, anime sucks. It's bland and doesn't showcase artistic prowess as well as other forms of drawing. I don't like it, but you can improve by playing with shadows and using a regular pencil.
