Uhhm, well I made this, and I just wanted to see other people's opinions on it. Sorry for the poor quality of the camera on my phone, and sorry that it isnt shaded or anything lol. It's just a pencil drawing outlined with black markers. Thanks!

I like it, your lines are very smooth and clean. Good work on details with the wings.

Very goood for a "pencil drawing"

Eyes: Could use more detail one big thing in anime drawing is the eyes, you'll be rated heavily on this by a lot of people.
Mouth: Could have been a wee bit more noticeable. :D

9/10

My picture was a pencil drawing, but i traced over it in markers and erased all the pencil, so now it's only the lines, no shading, colour, etc. Otherwise there would have been more detail in the eyes and everything else, because there are some things that i don't outline in marker cuz they don't look as nice later on after I colour everything. Lol. Btw, the mouth isn't very noticable, because I didn't feel like drawing one... Thanks for the advice. :)

You did a really great job with the wings and feathers and the blade of her weapon. The detail on the wings is definitely very nice.
The things I would suggest you try to work on would be, first of all, the eyes. I know it's hard to detail eyes in black marker, but I would suggest you add pupils or at least a suggestion of pupils. Good eyes can make manga drawings a lot better. Making the upper border of her eyes thicker and giving her lashes would make her look more feminine.
The second thing would be her figure overall. Her legs are quite a bit too short for her body (unless you just wanted it that way) and her frame is a little shapeless. I think if you had added a little detail in her clothing it could have made the whole thing look better. That doesn't really have anything to do with your talent, I just think it would have made the overall artwork more aesthetically pleasing.
I agree with Origami about the mouth, but I know that a lot of manga characters have practically no mouths, and when they do it's often just a tiny, straight line, so that's understandable.
You can work on drawing feet and hands as well. I know how hard they are to draw, and I personally suck at drawing them. It helps to practice by just looking at and drawing your own hands and feet in different poses.
One thing that helped me a lot was getting an art doll, if you don't have one. You can get them at craft stores like Michael's and even Wal-Mart has them. You can position them however you want and it helps you to draw human bodies in proportion, especially when you want to draw complex poses. The only downside is that they don't have fingers or toes, or at least I've never seen any with them, which is why it's a good idea to practice drawing those.
Overall I think your drawing is pretty good and that you should keep at it. =) I hope I didn't give you more critique than you wanted.

I really like the picture because it is really nice. Specially the eyes because it has something which can gives you real feelings. Actually according to me the real painter is the person who can say everything without saying any single word.
