Well, it's not like anybody acts irl the same way most anime characters do. I guess any mix in between a kuudere/dandere character and a mayadere character would be totally me. Like mix up Mikasa and Hinata somehow, and 02, that me. I don't nominate Esdeath because I relate to her in terms of dominance. She was nuts in everything else lol.

I'm happy to hear that more people have vivid experiences. I have seen and heard studies that suggests with the rise in media such as movies and games, people now have more interesting dreams or nightmares than those of my father's generation or older. Doorkey mentioned sleep paralysis which I have experienced on a couple of occasions. It can be terrifying at first waking up not being able to move. Of course the brain naturally tries to keep movement inhabited for protection. Though I have yet to sleepwalk, I experienced a dream where I sat up in bed to start my day only to awaken for real already in position to do so. Like I woke up right as my body was automatically going through the motions of waking up without my conscience telling it to. Freaked me out to feel my body doing things on its own.

First started watching anime, but then i wanted to find out what happened next so then i started reading manga, think the first manga i read may have been naruto. Now i read light novels for the same reason. Anime adaptations of light novels tend to be for promotional purposes so they are always skipping stuff from the light novel.

South wales here, any one UK based? (Here for Just chat BTW)

At the end of the day, just draw anything that captures your interest and do what works best for you that'll help you improve. Like I took a Life Drawing course roughly 5 years ago. It was one of the best things that helped me broaden my eyes as an artist and I learned a crap ton. You have to sketch live nude models in a variety of different pose positions in every angle. One of the best techniques you have to learn is the Gesture which are quick, not very detailed, expression drawings to get the feel of the action of what you observe. There were countless times when I missed an action because I couldn't react fast enough because this is real life and being able to capture it perfectly takes a very long time until you're good at it. This is why Gesture drawings are important because they help loosen you up and trains you the more you do it. There's also the lay in which is something that animators use. You roughly sketch lightly a simple representation of the entire human body in simple shapes. The idea you'll gradually build the human figure adding the extra details later on with softer drawing pencils. But yeah, eventually the more you do it, you'll find your own style and go with it. xP Of course, what Timid Giant Art said is true. The internet is a great resource. Find anatomy resources anything that'll help you improve. If there's an artist's style you obsess over get references of it as much information to help train your muscle memory and try to get a feel for his/her style. Though, still it's better to go out in the real world and draw from life if you can. Or if you can afford to take a Life Drawing class I highly recommend it.
