EDIT: Someday... someday, I'm going to do a better anime tutorial since this one is so ugly. D:

Okay, so I wanted to do this for a while, and I finally ended up doing it. It started off good and then I kind of just got lazy at the end. It took me while, nevertheless. I put it under the digital art category merely because I drew it in Photoshop CS2, but you can use this for traditional drawings tool. Some of the drawings I really don't like, but I'm not going to spend more time on it when it already took me a few hours to do. Also, if I add more information to the tutorial, it'll be WAY too long. Therefore, I hope it's helpful the way it is.

It looks really good. Much better than the actual drawings in the tutorial. I took a look at your other drawings, and I think it's because you are already good at drawing. I'm always afraid that this tutorial will teach artists the flaws that I made while drawing the example images, which is why I feel bad and decline when people ask to feature this tutorial in club galleries. I guess my point is that I'm glad that you didn't let my mistakes influence your style of drawing--which I think already looks good.

^u^ you flatter me so much!
I feel like there is so much that i can do to better my art. Using your tutorial was certainly a leap for me.
But i don't think should be be shy about your tutorials, they are really good. And, if you leave a sort of... disclaimer or something telling others to pay attention to specific parts or to add this technique to their own style, it could avoid adoptions of mistakes.
^^ -geeks out- I'm so happy you like my art!

I'm glad it could help you then!
Thank you, but I guess I already gave some sort of disclaimer. Like how it's old and ugly, and how I should definitely make a new one. Ha ha.

Ja, ja, thank you!
I try to draw my OCs, and although my colleagues are in awe of my "skill", I know that I am but an amateur who can put things together(most of my artwork has not been posted, just saying).

With this tutorial, I may be able to branch off into better details, and facial structure has always evaded me.
Thanks to this(and many other tutorials I have seen), the only way is up .

Ah, yes, I just hooked up my new scanner, and I am posting all of my pictures rapidly. By tomorrow, all of my pictures will be posted.

They will be in order, the oldest being posted first, and the newest posted last. Have a look, if you'd like.
