Hm, not bad.
If I may critique, you might want to look into some anatomy tutorials on DA and MangaRevolution, and check out your library. They tend to have drawing books. Also, proportion tutorials. And keep on drawing. ^^

Oh no no no, it's perfectly fine. I am sort of looking into tutorials and such to improve my drawings whenever I have time. Like they say, practice makes perfect! I plan to probably get a prgram after I get a scanner too so I can start digitally coloring my artwork.

Well, MangaRevolution and DA are some good places to go.

Did you learn from those? ^^

Partially. Also from many books, lots of practice, and incorporating stuff from the art styles of other artists.

I know this question doesn't really apply to me, since everyone takes different time, but how logn did it take you to draw how you do today?

Oh, wow. I think I started drawing about... 4 years ago almost. At least, that's when I started my DA account.

Well, since that question was put as a general, I'll but in - I owe KND even more than just entertainment. It's also how I learned to draw...since the characters in true KND form are very easy to draw, they're a good place to start from...but then, I don't *truly* have a style of my own, so I don't call myself an artist....I consider myself more of an impressionist, because for some odd reason I think only people who have their own style should call themselves artists. I can copy some styles, and the more I draw something, the less likely I am to need to reference. I started drawing back in 9th grade. I just graduated high school this past year, so that was...like, 4 years ago.
Oddly enough, my first pictures are not my worst. I started off okay, but it's when I moved onto anime I started having trouble. I'm still horrible at backgrounds, but I love drawing. I have several drawers full of artwork (all the lineart that's been colored on my deviant page is somewhere in my room, and I refuse to throw any of it away..I like being able to look back and see how I've improved and what I'm *still* bad at, and so need to work on).
Anatomy's pretty hard, so don't feel bad about it...I still have days where I'll look down and realize that the drawing I just spent several hours on is so disproportionate that I have to redo the whole thing again.
....wow, that was longwinded. *laughs* Hope that helped.....

Yeah... But I won't post it here until you do yours.
I did put it in my Scraps, but no one looks at those.

...I'm oddly tempted to make a Numbuh 1 tribute with the song "Secret Agent Man".

Oh, I saw that.
Props to them for using a realistically beautiful woman for his wife.
