Hello~
I haven't been on these forums in ages..stupid school hogging my free time >.<
Anyways, here is a character design I'm working on

Please tell me what you think. I love constructive criticism :)

Very cool. Everything seems to be spot on where proportions are concerned and the detail is beautiful. My only critisism would be that the anime style is kind of overused. Maybe mixing in a little of your own style with the anime style will bring something fresh to this particular type of drawing. But that's just me.
Other than that, awesome. Top work

Do you mean the way I draw the face? I'm trying to develop my own style, especially with drawing the eyes. It's kinda hard to explain, and it's hard to see in the drawing, but I kind of draw the eyes more attached, whereas in anime it's bigger and more detached.
I don't think that made much sense, sorry ^^; But it's hard to get out of the anime influence once you're influenced, I guess.

And thank you so much! It makes me happy to see people who actually pay attention to the details ^_^
