# About me
I am a 14 year old girl in Australia that absolutely LOVES to draw. I've been drawing ever since I was young and had recently got into drawing manga. I hope that you can join me in watching me grow into the wonderful artist that I always wanted to be!# Comments

Hey another Aussie C: Ok well before I give any advise I'd like to make it clear that I'm not a tacher nor am I the best artist in the world but I'll do my best. Remember there is no right or wrong way to make art and these are just suggestions not rules.
For a start I'd like to say your still young and your also new to DA. You are already drawing better than I was at your age, also there is alot of improvement shown between your early and most recent pictures so you are learning fast C: Keep up the good stuff
As far as the manga style goes, you're pretty good at drawing the eyes as well as showing variety in eye types C: You still have alot too learn of course (as do we all) Maybe you could try exploring different head shapes and body types as well to give your characters a bit more variety and making them more unique. I once heard that a good character design can be recognised even if they had no hair or clothes on. Mind you I am only just learning that myself.
Try looking to photos for help too, you'd be surprised how much you can learn from them. There is also plenty of helpfull tutorials here on DA as well as some good video tutorials on youtube. It would be good for you to try out some other styles as well, there are far to many out there to be only sticking with one. You never know you may even make your own unique style and truly become the wonderfull artist you hope to be. ~ Good luck :3

Hello there!
Well you wanted some tips and people to check out your drawings and stuff, and what I noticed it 1) You're manga drawing has improved if you compare the first to the last one 2) You're young, so you still have the advantage of easier learning things, remember that! 3) Be careful with choosing manga as your style.
You say you want to become a wonderful artist, but you need to remember that manga is a style that is often used, and what really gives people the 'wow factor' is when they see a new and interesting style. Your own style.
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with manga, but if you want to grow more, you should lean towards making your own style. And then when you have a style, try perhaps realism/semi-realism? c:
But you've 'only' been on dA for 2 weeks, so there's still a lot to learn!
And just be more careful when you decide to advertise for yourself on other peoples' artwork. Mostly they don't look too kindly on it, as you might see it as spam as it has nothing to do with the subject. Well well, keep on drawing and molding yourself, and don't stress the whole being seen thing. I've been on dA for over a year, and I still don't get that many comments. But that shouldn't get to you! Even if people don't comment, that dosen't mean they haven't seen it. Oh well, just the key part here is; Have fun with drawing, and good luck! :3

If you want to be a good artist, I recommend you to try to change your style. I used to draw in manga/anime style too earlier, and don't misunderstand, I'm not telling you that you should leave it forever. But try to find new, different styles and try them out. Styles you find interesting, try to copy them.
Yeah, i know you just got into manga, but that isn't a really good way to practice... It's also very common. It's cute, keep doing what you like to do, but remember to try a lot of other styles, too! I did that. I am a year older than you.

Thanks for the advice, when I was younger I tried getting my own style but it ended in disaster, think you could give me tips on how you did it?

welcome to you on , here's a welcome 1 And since you have only 13 years to improve by your drawing view tutorials on deviant art www.deviantart.com/resources/t…
, it is best that you also to watch tutorial groups, so you bit by bit improve your drawing, and then a couple of years to reach its own style of drawing,take it easy, time will show your hard work and effort to become an artist.
