that if/when you draw an Anime/Manga style picture there are certain constraints. Such as eyes, body shape & huge norks.
I don't there is much freedom you can move around in. If you do stray to far from the path, it wont be anime/manga.
I don't think that she was trying to draw a picture in that style but used something common as a basic to start practising.
Must say though, looks like a self portrait to me. And she does have fine norks in real life.

Speaking of pervy photos of girls... Does Jessy still haunt these around these parts?
I might not get killed by her, but I might get killed by her husband if I posted the pictures.
He's a lot bigger than me.Not in length though.

i appreciate it takes skill to do
and, just as in music, you learn how to do what others have done, before you can make your own stuff, but i still think it looks very samey

learn the easy stuff first and the trickier stuff becomes easier.
You just need to spend about 5 minutes on deviantart to see the trend for youngsters churning out identical manga pics, one after the other.

and it's good to get some confidence by showing yourself that you can do what other people do, before you go off and do your own thing.
it's a bit like music, you don't go straight in to writing symhphony in 3.5 parts for lute, milkbottle and timpani, you learn the basics first, whether it's blues or classical or whatever.
i think the person's first attempt is very good, nurture that talent! (he says jealously)
