Stick with stuff like those doodles because it is far more strong than any of your anime stuff.
I mean, it has better sense of shape and way, waaaay more energy.
That or just apply some of that energy to your more anime-styled drawings. I'm serious.
Really, seriously. Try not to think about style so much and let it develop naturally. If you force yourself into a style then your work will suffer.
Haha, thanks. I wasn't really serious on forcing myself to only draw anime, but I want to have alternate styles. I have a problem when drawing anime: the characters look ridiculously stiff. It seems like most anime drawings that I see have more focus on detail than energy. Cartoons are the exact opposite (well... not counting cartoon paintings/cariactures). It's hard for me to draw an energetic anime drawing.
So far I have three styles. My first style (and my original) is my cartoony style. It's the style that I've been practicing since 3rd grade. Dr. Robb and Tin Jr. are one of my very first OCs. Also, it's very.. very cartoony and not very popular:

My second style is my retro style. It's my attempt at mixing anime with cartoons. I've been practicing this since last year:

My third style is a custom style. It's an imitation of another person's style. Anime is MUCH more popular than cartoons on the internet, so I adapt the anime style most often than other styles (like the TDI style).

I used to focus on my first style.. but once anime became a popular phenomenon, I started to deviate into more appealing styles.
anyways... more doodles for your noodle, I took the time to shade these a bit
