Description
-_- Well, I was asked to draw 2 vampire characters for the kiriban, one of which is *gasp* male character o_O'Lol - i dont know how to draw males. I took Fruit Basket manga as a guide to a male head (which made him look like the cat-guy character o_O ) but with the body - i just winged it. And it looks sooo wrong >_<
Can u guys make suggestions? Pleeeese? Of Course he is NOT gonna look perfect - but just tell me what won't make him look obviouly hidious. Just keep in mind - I was trying to draw this guy really THIN ^-^
Here is what I "think" might fix it (after I was staring at it for ever)
1)Left sholder higher? (may be this way his "swan neck" will become shorter.
2) Left hip higher?
3) crotch lower? - I just thought that in certain mangas they left it high so i could get away with it...
4) Change the first fold on his shirt - cause it makes him look too flat?
5) More chest?
PS - if there is smth wrong with the girl - u can tell me too ^^

Glad to see you're trying out something more complex, Tatyana
Well, I did a quick mod to your picture and posted the link here:

If you have Photoshop or any paint program that has layers, I'd suggest overlapping my mod pic over yours and turning the layer 50% transparent to see the differences. That'll be much clearer than any text descriptions 
Mainly, it's unusual proportions here and there that are making the guy look strange. The neck is too thin, and the back of the skull (with the ear) should be move backwards a bit. The ear also could be larger. I've also shorten the neck a little, and modify the collarbones a bit. Also, give the guy a bit more shoulders.
For the girl, I lowered her eyes a bit. A good guide is to keep the distance from the middle of the eyes to the chin the same as the distance from the eyes to the top of the head.
