Re: Sometimes I just want to scream in frustration!

You're lucky. I haven't really found out what I'm good at yet. If you can draw most things, you're ahead of where I am now. I'm not even sure what I AM good at.

Re: Sometimes I just want to scream in frustration!

Try watching drawing tutorials, getting how-to-draw books, getting advice from others, etc. Also, be sure to motivate yourself! If you keep thinking that you can't draw, then you probably will do poorly. I remember I couldn't draw well either, but the more I practiced, the better i got/felt about my drawings... hopefully you'll feel the same with yours ^^

Re: Sometimes I just want to scream in frustration!

I try and draw in many, many different ways to see what works for me.

and they're not anime either.

So? Every drawing of a person isn't suppose to be anime, unless they (the drawer) wants theirs to be.

The body and hair is fine, but the eyes are just weird. (oversized, place too far down , tiny nose in comparison)

Draw the eyes a bit higher up, make them a bit smaller, and a smaller brush size.

Re: Sometimes I just want to scream in frustration!

Just look up a manga tutorial (same thing as anime, just has more tutorials).  Use an outline.  The body is based on head-sizes.

Re: Sometimes I just want to scream in frustration!

Eventually I'll make a tutorial on how to draw people, anime people, and cartoon people (or at least the way I do it)  tongue
