You're better than most, to be sure, but your grasp on anatomy could use some work!. Take some time to study human anatomy-- proportions, musculature, bone structure!. By understanding what's going on under the skin, it will help you immensely to portray the human body more accurately!.

And of course you have to practice, practice, practice!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

as mentioned above, mangatutorials!.com is an EXCELLENT place to help learn anatomy!. you can learn a lot about real people from cartoons!.
anyway, i'd also work on the value a lot more, it's got a lot of potential, but value is all over!.

i didnt particularly like it!. it wasnt realistic!. but itll get better just keep practicingWww@QuestionHome@Com

you're doing well, it does take time and practice, dont hurry on drawing people, also practice simple objects around the house, generic bowl of fruit, flowers in garden, practice lighting and shading, when trying to do people, notice the highlites and shadows, so you can gradually blend from white to grays, to darks, to shadows,
