Fanart - Bedhead England

[lady-phenyx.livejournal.com]

Title: Morning England
Character: England
Warnings: None
Summary: I'm still rather new to Hetalia, so I wanted to practice drawing England before I tried filling either of the prompts I took. This was inspired by The Allure of Bedhead




(Constructive Crit is appreciated!):)

Looking good! I love England's pajamas, so cool XD I think with a little more practice you'll get used to drawing him! Welcome to Hetalia by the way :3

Thanks for the encouragement! This was a quick sketch and color job, but I'll keep practicing. :)

You did a pretty decent job at coloring but England's form is a bit 'stiff': his shoulder (the one closest to the foreground) is held too closely to his side for someone in that sort of 'I just got up' postion and make him look very stiff. Also, the tip of the ear should be level to the pupil in the eye and should be place farther back on the head. when drawing the human form its always easiest to start with a model or even just by standing/sitting in front of a mirror so you can get a good idea of how the antamony should look like. What I like is the folds you put into the blanket and shirt: folds are rather tricky so to see them done well is a treat.

Probably the best advice i could offer you is this: before you draw anime you should try drawing real life portraits, they're not as fun (trust me, i know!) but they help you get a good idea of what the antamony of a person is so when you draw in other styles (such as anime) things look 'right,' so to speak.

I hope that was helpful ^_^

Thanks for the hints - I knew something was "off", but I couldn't seem to figure out what. Lol, I've been drawing a lot of anthro lately, guess I've forgotten how to draw the human animal. XP
