At the beginning

I'm not too much experienced in drawing manga - eh, well, my experiences are almost at 0.
I'm at the beginning and in front of me is a long run. I hope that these starting images won't hurt your taste so much Very Happy

not bad, better than i did a few years ago. You should make the faces a little longer and put more detail on the hair. Make eye giudelines to make the eyes more straight and make the head shape a little more marrower. But all in all, not bad, keep practicing.

Awesome! You're at a great start. I like the details you do in the hair. Keep up the good work. I hope to see more stuff from you in the future.

Professional mangaka dont use one line to draw. They "sketch" every detail with many lines until it looks good. Which means they practically dun really use erasers as much as you might have.

They also draw a ball shape for the shape of the face before drawing the details.

hope this might help.

as a beginner of course its great ..

just dont keep in ur mind that u have to do this or that
only draw the way u want and it'll improve by itself (this is my way while drawing)....

keep practicing ^__^

Trying to improve myself, this is the result (after several absolutely useless images):

Thanks for feedbacks, I'm taking them in account.

EDIT: She is supposed to be looking on a viewer, but due a scanner the thin borders of white of the eyes are almost invisible.

Good start my friend. Just keep in mind that when you're drawing, you're thinking of the shapes, instead of actual figures. Its something artists ignore. Creativity vs. Logical. Ignore that its 'hair' or 'head'. Think of it as lines. Thats what most artists do to become better Smile

Just tips for the future. Keep up the good work!
