=13px--
=13pxdrawing:
=13pxwell my style changed a lot in 2010, i left that same year.
=13pxas you can see i used to do EVERYTHING traditionaly, now im more in to digital art, i of course sketch and stuff traitionaly i mean its awesome! but yeah im still learning to color digital art.
=13pxprograms i use: Paint tool sai, Photoshop CS5.
=13px¿why did my style change so much?
=13pxthis is the awsome story:
=13px*me sitting in class drawing, guy comes by*
=13pxguy: oh cool.
=13pxme: thanks...
=13pxguy: but just one thing...
=13pxi mean, you draw really well and all but you see....ALL OF YOU CHARACTERS ARE THE SAME, THE ONLY THING THAT IS DIFFERENT IS THE HAIR AND EYES,OTHER THEN THAT THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME.
=13pxsorry to say it but...blah!blah!
=13pxme: (oh damn....he is right... i MUST do something!)
=13pxyeah... true that dude! thank you!
=13pxend of the story! wasnt that amazing!? life changing!? i know rigth!?
ok so i pretty much invented the whole chat but the important thing are the CAPS, and that really happened. he did say that and thas how i change my style.
so this is how i drew http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/FTCSS/767469/kage-no-ryoshi-manga-coverjeje   
=13px¿why would I put an exaple of a pic if i have this and many others in my gallery?
well, this pic is actually of my first story/manga(the one i came up with in 2008) these here are my OC.
now i really dont care if ppl do anything with this characters countig the fact that they dont look like this anymore and well, the pic doesn´t really say anything... but yes i still work this this characters.
-- now in this part i want to explane what was wrong with my style and pretty much with EVERY FREAKING  ANIME/MANGA!--
look at them please?? can you really tell the diference between them?(other than the hair and eyes as the guy said to me)
i mean the guy made me notice what is wrong with anime most of the time!
EVERYTHING IS frackING THE SAME!
of course styles vary a lot one from eacho other but look a the faces in most of them, they all look the same: big eyes, perfect nose, and round face, giving no variety to the characters in general, yeah you do find some different ones like: guy sensei(different nose and head shape) but its very rare.
exaples: all freaking K-on! girls, all freaking To Love-Ru girls(and rito), the main teams in Naruto(i mean ther is no difference between sasuke and sakura, and maybe a little difference with naruto(his face has a different shape, i give him that)  but ino, karin, hinata, ten ten, do they actually have a different face...? or Natsu and Gray?  nah... and i have seen many, pretty much every anime/manga follows this, and its sad... i mean some styles are really cool but they tend to get borring... and i know many ppl dont notice this cause, lets face it, they want the story, maybe the style, they want to be entretained, but as an artist this does upset me very much, and sometimes its very confusing, i mean there was this manga: kimi no iru machi, the story was ok, but i couldnt.... i didnt recognice the characters very often, there wasn´t even variaty in the hair damn it! or the eyes... i never knew who was who....i got so upset i just stopped... i couldn´t...i just ahg...
¿so why am i telling you this?
well, this is a place for artist, weather you are and amateur or proffesional, dont care...
and even if im not any proffesional,  and i still have a lot to learn, i want to help others learn too, i think you can learn from anyone, i mean! look, thanxs to a guy who knew nothing about art i changed my perspective dramatically!
and i want ppl to notice this too, i think it can help you..
when doing a comic, the story is allways important, to be original, have good plot, characters, etc, and i think thats what makes anime so great, the stories are AWESOME! and teach you so much, and well yeah, the anime style is absolutely beautiful/awesome and very stetic too, so people like it, plus it has a great stoy! well bring it on!! 
I DON´T WANT TO OFFEND ANYONE WITH THIS K? im just looking at it from an artistic perspective, or at least my artistic perspective, i repeat, i aint no profesional.
--finally, my advice--
when writing a story characters are the most important, they need to be original.
by original i mean, personality, of course you must make them unique, very different on from the other, but also when you draw them, i mean yeah, personality does help so much to give them this special touch, but you can make them even more awesome if you change them in apearrence too!
give them diferent features, example:
guy with blonde curly hair, round small eyes(blue or whet evrrs) big nose and very long face.
or a girl with not such pretty nose, it will sure change her, she migth not be the prettiest one but she will be original and have her own thing!
guys, dont be afraid of doing the ugly, i know it can be hard at first, i mean, i was and still sort of am the kind that if she/he doesn´t like what she draws, she/I will erase it, but the truth is, not all characters have to be beautiful/handsome, i mean its not like that in real life anyway... so if you dont have a chara with the perfect nose ¿what is the problem? ¿really?  i mean, it might not even make it ugly, he/she may be really handsome, and will be original too, and if its not handsome so what..
of course it depens a lot on what the character is ment to do or be, design thema acording to their personality and story.
i mean its like comparing Natsu to Gray:
1:Omg!! i mean Gray is so seeexy! 
2: no Natsu is like so much better!! mmmm!!
sexy i would so do him!
3: i do them bothe!
-- ¿¡how can you really say one is more handsome than the other when they have the same freaking face!?
it would be the same if you changed Natsu´s hair to Gray´s or viceversa,  what makes them more appealing most of the time is the hari, and the eyes to most of the times but, ehh..no biggie.
-- so if you now have characters different from each other you can actually say, "dude this one looks so much better, i mean its face is sooooo lovely/sexy" "no but this one is like soooo cool, its nose makes it look so tough and....." 
believe or not this things make a big difference and can really say a lot about the character, ex: maybe the character broke his/her nose doing some cool/dangerous thing!and his nose represents this important event in his/her life, just saying...
--so yes guys, this is a really big problem i as an artist, see in anime, if you dont care or you dont agree or what ever, fine with me, but i just want to be clear that i only intend to help you! open your eyes like this random guy did with me, i thank him so much and he doesn´t even know(i saw him today), but he changed me completely, made a huge impact on me, and im very happy about that, and if i can do the same, then! please!
--other things guys, dont just stay in the anime world, look around, search for other styles that you like, and make your own.
ex: my style is a mix between anime and realistic art.
you could do the same, with realistic or with any other(comics, cartoons, etc) come up with something.
also, in DA and here you can find such great artists, some that actually agree with me on this one, many dont really have an 100% anime style but they took from it, take from everywhere/anything! and their style is so awesome! references can come from all tipes of places.
ex: www.chirart.deviantart.com
check her out, she knows what im talking about, she dont have an anime style but its still amazing and i fell in love with her character design(plus if you´re in to some "yaoi" check out "that witch wills,  XD)
take a look, see what im talking about!
and remeber BE ORIGINAL!
