Oh wow. I dunno what anime that's from, but it looks like a head on a penis to me.
Which scares the crap out of me.
Love the face though! And the green eyes!

ear's a little low and his face is long, making his chin look funny. Those things don't bother me too much, I'm not gonna make money off it, I just wanted to practice lighting and skin tones and working with CG. :3
EDIT: the hair's also over half the ear, so it's supposed to be cut off, if that's what you thought looked odd >.<

Ears also a bit small, and the chin is weak. Like, a small chin. Guys typically have more jawbone.

If you're copying from something, get the biggest shape in first, then go to the 2nd biggest, and down the line. As long as you keep the size of those larger shapes accurate, and they relate to each-other, the smaller shapes that are supposed to fit within those large shapes will look good also.

I'm coping from a pencil drawing I have. But yeah, I try to lay out the main skin tone first, in the general shape of his body then the slightly dark tones to the skin then dark and so on until I think the shading is okay enough, then I go to lighting.
It's still a bi*ch, T.T it's so hard to do digital drawings... :gloom2:

It can be pretty annoying, yes. Might I suggest not starting with gray unless you're going to keep the gray? Removing it/changing the color will make the image look completely different. Always know what your background color/s is/are. It helps and actually lessens the work load. A good way to learn is to do master copies, even from traditional work (remember, no eyedrop tool). Paint the way you think the master did it, from background to foreground. It's something we've been doing in concept art class and I've been learning a lot just from that.

It's funny that you mention that, 'cause just to day I was thinking about digital art and how it's kind of a different art from from traditional. Then I went on to thinking how I learned to draw as a kid (tracing/copying lots of comics or master artworks) and I thought maybe I should try that first, instead of jumping the gun.
I look up a lot of tutorials and walk-throughs of how people do the digital art, but everyone has there own way and I don't want to copy their method too much, just to get another idea of how to do it.
On a side note though, you should make a tutorial yourself if you have time, I'd like to know how you CG too ^~^

Maybe during winter break, if you remind me. I was hoping to make a tutorial about what I've learned this semester, since my teacher made some things clear that didn't feel as clear before.

oh that'd be awesome, I'd love to see it! But you're gonna have to tell me when winter break comes xD (I'm home schooled so I don't know)

Ah, I see. December 15th. Actually...I wonder if I'm allowed to post a thread asking for requests? I probably can't do all of them, but maybe a few that I know well enough.
