Buy or search for good drawing tutorial (how to know which is good? It should fature skeletons and muscle diagrams in some of chapters, not rounds and sticks all the way through). And learn, learn, learn. Alongside - copy from photos, copy from manga (to take note how different it is from reality) - you'll need to do this much if you really want to draw good.
Now it is no reason to C+C, because you're at early stage and need to study on your own.

No-no current problem is a face - eyes are too close to each other, mouth is not at it's place and nose is not better. (Imagine a skull under all this and you will see). Pixels are too tough to work with to make pics on the fly, so stick with paper and pens for now. Draw and trace everything.

And look in the mirror. It helps alot too.

Be-e-e-eh... In a way it's better, because now it features hand (normal hand, no crits). But if you don't see for yourself what's wrong with the rest (all obvious), it's better to start studying and reading about 'now let's make a rectangle and divide it...' NOW!

Gah...Lemme give it another shot.

EDIT: I give up.

*sigh* How bad does this look? I changed the arms again.

Come on, you haven't read those manuals very carefuly, no?

If you'd read, you'd know where on the skull are holes for eyeballs (they should be wide, and extra-wide for manga-look), so wouldn't place them too close.

If you'd read, you'd know that top of the ear starts where top of the eye is and bottom of the ear finishes where bottom of the nose is.

And you haven't looked in the mirror, no?

If you'd looked, you'd see that even in such 3/4 view mouth should be under the nose, not to the left of it. And in manga it sometimes goes far to the right.

If you'd looked, you'd noticed that upper arm has form of balloon and not of boomerang, because there is a muscle named biceps.

If you'd looked, you'd see that your chest is two times wider than that which you drew, and you'd asked yourself: maybe chest which I drew too tiny even for a woman? And you'd made research for photos, which, with Google, takes mere minutes, maybe even seconds.

And if you didn't make those things, and changed pic in such way which is hardly noticeable, maybe it's not me who is not constructive, and you who is lazy?

@ A.B. Lazer: Thank you. I'll fix those. :)

@ lucas_irineu: I changed it after I posted that one. *points up* I guess it's time for a new WIP, huh? Well, here ya go.

There is something wrong with that hair. Try googling some pictures to see how actual hair looks like.

How about shading by form instead of acting as if everything is a tube and projected by the sun from the side?

Here is a quick rough edit on how wild you can go.

Thank you, Lollige and r1k. :) But, Lollige, your edit's mouth is kinda...scary. It reminds me of a mixture between Fran from The Nanny and the mother from Married With Children. D: *hides* ( I'm kidding.)

 Hmmm...*goes off to edit some more* What do you think about the hair?  

Edited by Pumpkinbot - 07 June 2009 at 2:32pm

...I think I see what you mean. Our left, or her left?

...Seems okay to me. :/ I'll see what others think.
