Thank you so much for the feedback! ;v; <3
Yeah I have a lot of trouble with face shapes for some strange reason, I'm not sure why. It's like I'm never sure where to place her cheek bone/curve xD or how wide/long to make it. ;n;
I really appreciate when I receive criticism (the harsher the better LOL) because I'm always looking to improve in any way I can. So thanks so much for this comment. ^^ Also, thank you for the examples!

Yw! I'm glad the links worked! Sometimes they don't go through for some weird reason....
To learn face shapes I usually just look up something like "anime girl" or "anime face" or I even look at reasistic faces or something like that. And to learn how it's drawn I start by tracing it with my eyes. It works with figures, feet, eyes, faces, almost everything. You really should try it. You don't have to be a professional to learn how to draw. If that makes any sense.

Also, I don't really think "the harsher the better" is the right way to put it. Lol. How I would put it is "The more specific, the better"
There's a difference between criticizing and critiqueing. Critique is telling someone what is both good and bad about it to be helpful (whatever "it" is) and criticism is basically telling someone that it is terrible. Not always but usually.
I just thought I should clarify.
Being harsh doesn't realy help anyone. I've tried. It really doesn't work. Lolz.

Oh, that tracing with your eyes sounds interesting, I'll try that next time. Usually I kind of just start going at it. xD But I want to get into the habit of using blobs and shapes more when sketching before applying more refined features.
Also yeah I suppose your right about "the more specific, the better." Just hearing "it sucks" would be so disheartening. LOL But when I said "harsher" I mainly meant that I like when people point out the bad, or "off" parts of my drawings and be really honest about them so I know to improve them in the future. It's nice when people do that since most of my friends and family always just say "it looks great!" when in reality I know it could be better. xD

Ikr. I don't like it when all people offer is the same praise over and over again.
But I don't mind more creative comments of praise.
