Some tips in drawing anime/manga?

I’ve been drawing Anime/manga for almost 1 year and hell I dont see any improvements , my Anime seems cartoon-like , I’ve already have the whole series of “How to draw manga” it helps me a bit , but Im not contented in my drawing .

Any tips from Pro’ Manga artist out there? or do you know any website that provides free manga lesson , like manga university , but the lesson there is generalized .

Hope I can get a nice answer

thanks

When I first started drawing manga, I was terrible! First of all, I own and read a great deal of manga, which I look at and read at least once a day. My drawing style started to be influenced by those artists whose stories I looked at every day. If you look at what you read, you will start to notice things that work well for that artist and incorporate them into your own work. I simply drew every single day, and suddenly, one day, I realized I had made a style of my own. Your art can be greatly improved from observation on a daily basis. I admit that when I first started, I thought I needed a ton of books and lessons, and probably searched as much as you have for online lessons. But then I realized, there is nothing, and no one who you can learn from better than you can learn from yourself. It took a lot of time to get to the point where I am now, so you have to be patient. If you truly love drawing manga, you sort of loose track of how much time has gone by, and suddenly, it’s been five years and you look at your old drawings and say, wow, I’ve gotten way better. Be patient, don’t set yourself a deadline and say, “I have to be better by a year, or two years.” Just enjoy your art, and you’re sure to improve. If this seems to idealistic, please ignore it. As far as books go, don’t depend on them entirely, I just use them for reference when I run into sticky points. You can also (and this may seem a little far fetched) take life drawing classes. Manga is often based on realistic proportions and features that have been stylized. When I first started drawing manga, I was in the middle of a very strict, intense art academy course. I felt guilty at first, drawing manga, especially because my manga skills were far below my realistic drawing skills. But then I realized that the gesture drawings and human observations I was doing in that class were really improving my manga drawing skills.
By the way, depending on the area of drawing manga that requires improvement, you might use yahoo answers for more specific questions about drawing faces and bodies, this place is full of people who love to help and are very talented.
Good luck!
