What do you think of my art style for drawing girls?

[Wingstofly]

I think that I can draw girls better than how I draw boys.

What do you think about my art style for drawing girls?

[Kelheor]

I don't see any picture of a boy for comparison
Also it shouldn't really matter who you draw better, just draw everyone the best way you can

[Lensing]

The first thing I thought was that you should be brave and draw hands, feet and not have a pullover cover
the whole torso.
The eyes and hair is the best part

Umm I was just telling everyone that I think I'm better at drawing girls but I wasn't trying to make this thread about comparing drawings between guys and girls, if you get what I'm saying.

[Kelheor]

What I am just saying you it's impossible to say if you draw girls better than you draw boys, because there's no drawing of a boy we can't compare if you're drawing the anatomy (or anything else) of one of them better.

[Wingstofly]

Yes I see what you're saying

It's kinda hard to judge a style per say on just one drawing for on character. If you want advice of style it's usually better to do a line up of characters, either give us something to compare it to so we can see the distinctions or a line up of character in that style to see the similarities. But, I mean, it's fine as a drawing. It's pretty generic, slightly older style anime-equse. The lines are pretty thick, especially on the hair, but that might be your style, there's no shape to most of her body but I don't know if that's a style choice or just the jumper, same with her head and eyes being so large, is that style or is she supposed to look young? I will say it's odd the hair seems to be moving, but the clothes aren't. Her pose is very still. But I really can't just style overall on one drawing no matter how many pictures you take of it.

It's hard to judge just from one drawing. Do you have a gallery you could link to? Other characters or poses of this character? It's a fine beginner drawing, but rather flat, and something about the line quality makes it look traced even if it's not.

I always recommend Proko's tutorials on human anatomy (and just his tutorials in general) when you're still a beginner. They're free on youtube, and can give you a wealth of knowledge and experience.

There's a lack of understanding here in the functionality of anatomy, motion of the body, weight, and how fabric folds. Pretty sure he has videos for all of that stuff. You can also check out Mike Mattesi's 'Drawing with Force' books/videos/etc. I have had the pleasure of his oversight personally, and he is an excellent educator with a ton of knowledge that will help with your rigidity in pose.

Start simple, learn how the body is put together and how it moves, then go from there.
