That's too bad, man. Still, keep trying. Gotta reach for the sky, or you'll eat dirt for the rest of your life.

Hey, sorry, haven't been on in a while.
Ugh, can't find my camera's USB cord so I can't take a pic of my anime drawing. Here's one I made one morning, it's just the face of Birkin from RE2:

I guess I'll show you my character drawing later.
My advice on your drawing is the same as any other person would say, keep at it, it's the only way to improve.
I have a book called "The Art of Drawing Manga", it's not the best guidebook but decent and helps me on my character's appearance, maybe you should look into a guide at the library too. Also, keep reading manga and studying the artist's work. It's fun to learn to draw character without rulers and all that fancy stuff and it's also less annoying, but it helps drawing the circles and lines to draw out the head of the character as well as the rest of the body, like this for example:

I normally don't do that, but I'm trying to learn because it does help, especially to balance everything out of the character's appearance.
So try it and don't give up, we all had our start in whatever we're good at now.

Cool! I've only been to one.(Altanta Anime Day 2011) Anyway, the reason why I ask is because, since you've mentioned in your profile that you wish to be a mangaka, it's good to sell your work at such events, not necessarily for the money, put to get reviews from those who purchase your work, and to get your name out there. The more people know of you, the better.

Yeah, there should still be plenty of places to publish manga.
Hmmm....do you go to cons much?

Yeah I stopped drawing a few years ago myself. I just gave up on it because nobody seemed to care for my style, not like it was stick figures or something, people just said the anime characters looked too realistic -_-
