Sometimes I just want to scream in frustration!
I can't draw people!
This is an example (showing me at this present moment):
I can draw almost everything pretty well, but I cannot draw people! They always seem too short and the faces are totally unrealistic and they're not anime either.
RRRRRGHHHHH!

Re: Sometimes I just want to scream in frustration!
I know how you feel. I can't draw faces at all either, and whenever I draw hands they always come out spidery.

I'm the opposite. I think everyone has something they are best at drawing. You don't have to be so frustrated somelia, it just takes *a lot of* practice

I agree with Wickimen, the face there kinda suits the style of the rest of the picture.

Re: Sometimes I just want to scream in frustration!
I'm great at drawing birds. And I have my own style of drawing people, but it looks better on paper rather than on computer(The one reason I need a tablet >_<).
Retired from Scratch, but just the language itself. Not the forums.

Re: Sometimes I just want to scream in frustration!
I'm pretty good at drawing people (anime in particular), but cartoony too. I'm only good on paper though. 
I'm basically honorary nasty. N-n-n-n-nasty jazz

I have the exact opposite problem. There are two things I can't draw, cars and horses, and somehow that's what people always end up asking me to draw.

Does it have to be anime? No, so calm the heck down. I think your style is fine and you're overreacting. Also, no offense, but you're posting way too many topics in one day. I see like five threads a day from you. It's kind of annoying. Again, no offense.

Yeah, people say I'm good at drawing birds, too. Once, I was drawing an eagle in the car and we stopped to go to a convenience store and, for some odd reason, a lady saw my drawing through our car window. She later came in and said, "Did you draw that?" and started talking about how "good" it was. I was all like o_o. How did she suspect it was me? I have no idea.
P.S. I'm not bragging. True story.

Maybe you are bad at drawing people. However, it can be that you just don't like your style of drawing and you've convinced yourself it's bad. When in reality, it's okay. This also applies to somelia.

Re: Sometimes I just want to scream in frustration!
It's not bad, I like it.
There are somethings that are easy for us to draw and other things hard to draw. I'm good at drawing living things like people and animals(anime-ish and cartoony) but I'm bad at drawing backgrounds and objects like buildings and cars.
Though, it's easier to draw on paper and than on the computer.

I'm the master of stickmen and monsters.
What, you mean you want me to draw something else? Er... ask another artist.

A lot of times I draw portraits without faces at all, so you may be on the mark there.

Thanks, but I hate my drawing style. I'm better on paper, but my scanner's broken. Though the legs are either too long or short if I draw the whole body.

No, I have to admit, it's pretty ugly.
