Yo i got doubleninja'd, y'all shouldn't be complaining. :U
Cthulufaic, breaking news: You are already able to draw.
I can maybe offer you a few tips about noses and ears, but you're on your own for clothing. Noses seen a bit from the side are actually super easy to draw, and can be made with four simple curves. Since i rarely do DEAD ON FRONTAL portraits of people, i use this kind of nose most of the time. But just for good measure, i have also included a frontal nose:
Although from my observations, manga noses tend to mostly just be a little 7 turned upside down, and a flattened V when seen from the front (if they even draw noses). I just like to draw comical bulbous noses. :U
As for ears, one way is to draw them as tall C's with sort of a squiggle/heavily distorted G or 6 inside.
I mostly do the one on the right, but you could easily get away with a loose spiral like the one on the 6-ear if it's a cartoony drawing. I admit that i haven't seen enough manga/anime to notice a trend with the ears there, but hey!
but I keep on making more and more unfinished sketches without completing much.
This is not a bad thing. I have made a gagillion crappy and unfinished doodles that probably won't ever go beyond that, even though i could theoretically go all out and go digital paint on them. I don't always feel for it, so therefore i don't always do it.
So basically, practice, enjoy yourself, and don't give up. Taking a break is totally fine, nobody will hate you for that, just don't give up if you really want to learn. I know from experience that progress can be painfully slow, but hang in there, it will happen. If a schlub like me can learn to draw somewhat okay-ish by just taking it easy and doodling for fun (and also reading a few tutorials to rectify major issues that people pointed out rather frequently), then so and you and everyone else. All you need is tiiiiiiime. :U
@DarkDXZ: Ooo, that evil chickenbone guy is pretty rad, in particular do you seem to have a really good grasp of the dreaded FORESHORTENING. Nice job! c:
also speaking of doodles......
I sketched a portrait of a D&D character of mine, who is hopefully obviously a dorf. His name is GRIMSHIT MOUNTAINBEARD, KEEPER OF HATE, and he's a warlock. And he's fucking angry all the time. He managed to create a potential major antagonist by punching a minion in the balls, only to find out that this particular minion was favoured by the gods themselves, thus giving rise to the mighty GODBALLS (who then absconded out of the cottage that Grimshit had managed to light on fire, making it collapse on top of Godballs to no ill effect). He also labels most people as being clods or bumshits. It has come to the point where we in our little online group refer to higher-ranked members of a mercenary band (called the CRIMSON JERKFACES) as bumshits, with one of them actually being called Bumshit while he was alive. It's pretty amusing. :U
i also made a turbospeed doodle of a boid
yup
