Okay, don't think of this as a demand or a challenge, but I would really like an actual (or former) art student to teach me what they know. I liked the spirit of that LAB tutorial thread, and I want the /ic/ community to have something like that.
Could someone teach me about painting faces so I can get away from this anime-stuff I'm doing?
Study facial relativity, and learn how to make a "comfortable" face.
It's all about features relative distances from each other.

Buy a book and reading it you fucking retard, if you need people to shovel you information you're never going to get good.

Loomis. Also I don't see any particular anime stuff in your picture.
ehh loomis?
even has an entire book dedicated to that.

this too, I think it's mostly the eyes, work in that. It is the only thing that seems more like anime (and the jaw maybe)

Well, how exactly do you want your drawing to look like? "Anime" is a very generic term that can be applied to any face with slightly big eyes and simplified facial features the way many people on /ic/ use it. I take it you didn't want to do actual realism, otherwise you wouldn't have kept the big, stylized eyes

Pic Related is where I want to go; sort of a comic-book/digital coloring, but eventually reducing the lines.
I'm interested in unrealistic proportions with realistic detail.
nice plagarism

I didn't know poses were patented.

Pose reference. Overlap it and you'll see I referenced and didn't trace. Hyung Tae Kim is also someone I want to emulate.

Please reference artists that understand anatomy and how to properly "break the rules" referencing from other artists will guarantee you picking up their bad habits if you want to reference from others at the very least reference from masters of old, or if you want to be in the new reference from Andrew Loomis.
