Great job Soul. It's very well done.

Stop saying that all of your stuff is crap. Seriously, it's good and you can really draw.

If you don't mind though, I will give you a couple pointers. But just for the record, i'm not critisising your drawing, it's far better than anything i could do in less than a few months ago, but I still feel that my sugestions are nessesary.

I'll start with the head. The face is perfect, and so is the hair, wouldn't change a thing, but you have to learn that the eyes are in the center of the head, not the top. you should raise the top of the head a few inches, or else you're not leaving any room for the brain, or even room for more hair to grow.

Next I'll point out the shoulders. Since I don't know who the character is, it's hard for me to judge your pic. But if this guy is over the age of 13, then you have to make the sholders much wider. In the human figure, you should be able to place another head on each of your sholders. You don't have much width in the sholders at all. But I know it's hard to give the sholders width, without him seeming like a body guard or something, but by the end of the drawing, you can tell how the width of the sholders really hepl with the measurements of the rest of the body.

I don't now if your going for realism or anime, but I do think that you should make the neck a bit thinner. Not too much though, because that's how to determine the body's of males and females, by the thikness of their necks. Girls, very skinny, but guys still have thin necks too.

Other than that, the pic is great. In future drawings, try to remember that a average males height is usually from five to seven heads tall. When your doing full bodies, that's where the wider sholders help a lot, because without them, if you try to get the length of the legs and chest corrent, the sholders will make the character look like an alien.

If you'd like to see the site where I learned to draw anime and body proportions, and so on and so fourth, here it is.

I hope it helps and that my suggestions were appreaciated.

And remember, I'm not critisising, just pointing out things about your drawings, and hopefully helping anyone who reads this post.
