I have trouble using realism and still keeping the anime features. It either ends up realistic or pure anime. Any tips?

well, I'm not really that good at teaching or anything but I'll just tell you what I know haha
The thing that really makes a drawing have anime features are the large shiny eyes xD Β Also anime is minimalistic, for example even above I do not shade in full lips, just the shape of it.
What makes something realistic is the shading! I focused (face-wise) on the bridge of the nose, and emphasize the lips SLIGHTLY.
Basically you have to find your own balance between realism and anime. For example, no human has those kind of face proportions above (the elf has really large eyes, like eyelashes, small mouth, and sharp jawline/small face), since I used anime proportions.Β
How I did this one was I drew it purely anime at first, then added shades and tones that you would see when looking at a human face to suggest 3D features. I don't know how much this helps you, but that's about it xDDD also the hair should be flowing and not "blocky" to make it more realistic.

Thanks! yeah, I was going for some more "realism" here, in terms of the shading for the face. Of course I kept the anime features, with the big eyes and sharp face shape ;3
Daw, thank you <3

Lovely work. Reminds me of my fairy/elf obsession I had when I was young. Very awesome!

Yes, I was going for a more semi-realistic anime style.
