    Isn't kind of counter-productive to go at Youtube for attention on the matter, because it's just going to take Youtube longer to muddle through all of it?

    You definitely seem like you're going somewhere if you keep practicing! But if I were you I'd practice around more in a traditional sketchbook with a pencil so you can focus more on your style and improvement than worrying about the mechanics of a drawing program. (speaking as someone who's juggled both at the same time, not fun!)

    I like the cartoon approach you seem to have here but there are some basic portions of anatomy that even cartoonish characters have. Your character here seems to be lacking a neck and lacking shoulders. It also seems like the head is a bit too big for the body, so in the future when you begin to add things such as shoulders and necks, look into how to size it appropriately to look the most fitting!

    If you want a bit of a tip on how to improve, look at some of your favorite cartoons, video games, and comics and if you find yourself stumped on pulling off a good part, look at how they drew it out. My early human style (I use to draw a lot of cats and furries... lol) came from inspiration off of Scott Pilgrim vs The World, but over time I took bits and pieces from other styles I liked, for example, I liked the way someone drew their eyes on this video game cover so I use that style, and then once I looked at how a webcomic artist drew noses on their character and took that from there! Eventually I used all these different things to make my own original style!

    If you strive to be more realistic, learning how to draw from references like drawing people on magazine covers or things like that also kind of helped me too as far as studying human bodies went.

    I hope maybe this helped you out a bit! If you ever need help or feedback on any art feel free to message me!

    Hmm, noted. I'm just frustrated because I wish I could reply to people or go into a bit more elaboration with some descriptions but I either gotta keep it short or say nothing at all and it sucks for an artist who likes to put some words on her posts so it doesn't just seem like I don't care about it or the people who comment on it. ;-;

    In the Minecraft community theres a lot more competitive people than there should be, so basic things like building or roleplaying are often not really populated.

    In todays time and such we have a lot more kids growing up on combative games and learning to be more competitive in the video game world since the rising popularity of competitive gaming (in esports) and stuff. This isn't a bash on the younger generation since it's really the older generations fault for mainstreaming/advertising all of this so much.

    I'm probably making it deeper than it's supposed to but I just see it as as the times change, things that use to be a bigger deal are fading away, such as roleplay servers or plain ol survival servers.

    I for one am looking forward to it as a game with better combat but if I already suck at doing some basic clicking I'll probably be super bad doing actual thinking... I'm one of those people who sucks at responding under severe pressure. (Such as a sneak attack... probably not good to be like this if I were to ever be attacked in real life ^^; )

    But since we're gonna have different arrows I'm pretty good at ranged fighting so I might try to look more into that stuff!!!

    Thank you, and I hope it'll be like that. I always like feeling involved in a community. I haven't really done forums in a long time.
