I like it. I wouldn't call that anime as far as similar styles go, but you definitely have a good grasp or western animation. I'd say move the eyes closer together, unless you want the character to seem that cartoony. Not bad. A good tip for artists - beginners or otherwise - is to do all of your sketches in a different color. Do the rough outline in a blue, purple, or green, and focus on getting the basic shape down. Then, trace over your lines and add in fine details either with a pencil or a black prismacolor/charcoal. It makes it look like a frame from a storyboard or animatic. Do you subscribe to any artists on Youtube? I'd recommend [url=http://www.youtube.com/user/markcrilley]Mark Crilley[/url]. He's an incredible published artist, humorous, has a clear voice, and makes great tutorials. There's also a B.net group here for Art now!
