Uhh, it's been a while since I posted a drawing to you guys. But I'll here you out this time, because I want to get better.

This is a drawing of a character I just thought of yesterday named 'Melody Flat'.
Before you state this, I'm just going to admit, I don't know how to draw flutes.
Now please give me honest criticism, I wont be a stubborn loser this time.

I'll give you points for getting the face features for anime right. But minus points because she lacks ears :V (her hair isn't wide enough to block them) It's not bad, you have potential, you have a good sense of proportions.

Drat, that's my biggest weakness, heh, the only manga ears I have ever drawn where animal ears. But normal ears don't look too hard. I bet with a bit of practice, I could get down something above average.

Drawing ears gets harder or easier in differeant styles? Never thought about it that way. Hmm, does Mark Crilley or O'Geal (zkos) have a vid on drawing manga ears? I guess I'll find out.

To be honest, no, never when drawing anime have I drawn an ear, although when I was in middle school I used to draw Mario a lot.... And he had ears... But I don't think that counts, because I was not too good back then.
Malema, the neckless is a tenor cleff:

But I could not get it shaped quite the same because I have never had music theory to know the proper way to draw it. I should probably practice drawing clefs before applying them to characters heh.
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.
