    Hello,

    So I always try and draw characters for various plots I make, but I can never get them right. It never seems to look realistic enough, even if I'm just going for a cartoon drawing. Does anybody have any general tips to get better?

    Thank-you.

    It's all in the practice! I haven't been drawing long myself, maybe four years, but the artists I look up to have often been in the business for nearly a decade. I don't do realism, but anatomy is always a pain for artists in general and it's easiest to practice anatomy for myself by using posing: It's often tedious, but drawing the same character in a variety of poses can make it easier to define their structure.
