As you can tell by the embedding details, I am also on DeviantART and my username there is also Teddykiller. Totally original I know, but any help from you gentlemen and ladies would be greatly appreciated!

Ah !! Teddy is see ur style of art is quite unique and I think u should try to improve the anatomy, proportion , face expression ... which I still try to learn it ^_^ !! Hope to see more ur work here !! Ruu....

Thanks alot Kaho! I do find alot of people say it is 'Unique' which I guess means I just got to keep experimenting, but thanks your words on where to start! ^-^

The only thing I can say is that all of those basically look like the same person with a different hair style and clothes. Try adjusting height and... width, and stuff too.

Just like what kaho17 said, you need to work on proportions. You can practice by using references. Learn by imitating styles until you develop your own style. Don't just get used with tracing and/or copying, you won't learn that way, just get some ideas from other pics and you'll learn the basics. Aside from getting references, you can also use the mirror, check your own body for measurements like facial expressions, arms, hands and the like. Last thing would be practice, just practice drawing, draw use 3-5 sheets a day, draw different subjects per piece.
