Anatomy needs some huge love here.

Yeah. Not exactly my strong area x:

Anythin' I can do to improve?

Check out some anatomy books to get ideas on how the average human(oid) body is drawn..that should help you.

Too bad I don't leave near a library.

I suck at muscles x:

If you need a reference, you can find some nice pictures of human skeletons and muscles from Wikipedia/Google image search, too. Also study real life, don't just look at pictures. Look at people and animals around you and pay attention to body proportions, how they move and what their body looks like when they do different things. Draw as much from real life as you can, it is really helpful and it teaches body proportions and anatomy better.

(Also, if you have a digital camera and a helpful friend/family member, you can always ask them to pose for you in different ways and then take a picture of it. That way you'll have a spot-on reference to look at if you need one.)

Helpful advice

Too bad I don't have a tablet to fix my error immediately.

Fortunately, there are a lot of online resources you can use! For example, Loomis wrote several books that are now in public domain and on the internet. You can get six of them here, and one you'd probably find especially helpful is Figure Drawing for All It's Worth: http://www.placidchaos.com/AM/index.....oomis#comments It's very helpful when it comes to proportions, perspective, and anatomy in general.

Another site that I've found to be very helpful is corbis.com. This is a huge site of photos that I often search if I need some reference images. Drawing from life is a great way to learn how to draw, and I've found that looking at different photo references helps me understand proportions and anatomy a lot better than trying to draw it from my head. If you heavily reference/eyeball something, though, just be sure to cite it if you upload it! It's just the polite thing to do. :)

This site (http://www.posemaniacs.com/blog/) is also very helpful when it comes to figuring out poses. You can rotate a lot of the figures, which can help you get a particular angle juuuuust right.

Hope these help! :D

I suppose. Thanks.

Just how the hell did I get showered by constructive criticism all of a sudden?

Now suddenly people care? D:

His head is very small o0o Also you don't need to go to a library to figure out anatomy c: The internet is huge

It's just the hair makin' it seem smaller I guess plus FA killed the quality

the quality is fine. It's just that his face is incredibly small. If you were trying something with perspective then you need to work on yer foreshortening skills

Foreshortening?

And I don't want to exactly give him big eyes either. I don't see how I can improve it as you're only tellin' me what's the problem and not how to fix it.

Make his head bigger D: Compared to the rest of his body it is very small.

That would require slicin' off a large portion of the pic, not just the head. I'm not drawin' with a tablet or pencil here

Sorry if I am makin' up excuses though.

If you're drawing with a mouse then I don't see what the big deal would be. Working with MSpaint (correct me if I'm wrong) is pretty easy. And I'm not saying to alter this pic but to learn for later pieces

MS Paint is not easy to use and drawing with a mouse is even harder. There are no layers or anything like that. No transparencies or any of the fancier stuff


Moreover, why does everyone care all of a sudden? This pic wouldn't have sucked as much if I got this a LOT sooner.

I have worked with both a mouse and MSpaint. It's not as hard as you're making it out to be :<

Oh wait never mind. Guess the quality is perfect, but yeah, it's the hair and ears makin' it seem smaller in comparison.

Our mannerisms of drawin' are a little different, if I may be blunt
