My first anime drawing did I do good?

2/3 Edited to

... Read moreAs someone who recently took the plunge into anime drawing, I can say that starting out can feel overwhelming but also incredibly rewarding. When I created my first piece, I focused heavily on capturing the signature anime style—large expressive eyes, dynamic hair, and clean lines. One key tip I learned is to not stress perfection on your first try; each drawing teaches you something new. Practicing basic anatomy and simple poses beforehand can help build confidence. I also found watching tutorials on shading and color blending helpful to bring my drawings to life. Don’t hesitate to use references from popular anime to understand proportions and expressions better. Another thing that helped me was joining online communities like those with hashtags #animeart and #fyp. Seeing others’ progress and receiving constructive feedback made a huge difference. It's important to remember that every artist’s journey is unique and improvement comes with practice. For anyone starting out, keep a sketchbook handy and draw regularly—even quick doodles count. Over time, you’ll notice your style evolving and your technique sharpening. Most importantly, enjoy the creative process and celebrate each step forward!
