Actually I can draw anime but I'm not that advanced yet. I still have issues with the body, head shape, and hair. T.T But you're welcome. ^^

Draw from real people. It helps anime drawing quite a bit. Helped me out significantly.

Okay. A friend of mine from school suggested that I practice realism but I suck at that. I'm only good at anime and still have so much to learn. When I draw, I try to find references online. And I'm pretty good with drawing eyes and hair primarily.

Draw the big picture first, and details after. Better for learning that way.

Mainly getting the proportions down first with shapes, then a basic sketch, then a more defined sketch, before moving on to the actual line-arting/painting process. Concept artists tend to draw what they call thumbnails, which are quick 5-minute rough sketches in rapid succession in order to lay out as many ideas as possible for their concepts. These artists try to capture a big picture of what the character would be from a quick glance(silhouette, stance, basic outfit choices) They then pick one, refine it, and that's usually the final portrayal of characters you see today. It's kinda like that.

Oh I see. But there's one problem with that for me: I can't sketch very well. I usually draw everything out with minimal or no sketching. Is there a way I could fix this or something? I do want to get better but my abilities as an artist are failing on me. I haven't drawn in a few weeks right now due to school in real life. But I don't mean to complain. >.<

Life is being life but I'm managing to sketch random dumb things.

What's your favorite class on awakening?
I had my main character become a Dreadlord.
