Well, you gotta remember that the Fan Creations board is rather slow, so it might take a few hours/days for someone to post on your thread.

But you asked for opinions, so I'll do my best.

What I would first suggest to you is to work on your observation skills. Drawing is just half of the actual drawing, and half of a lot of other skills you have to master. One of them is observation. Try looking at a profile picture of a manga/anime you like and try getting a basis from that.

I say this because, in the overall drawing process, you're not a complete beginner. I can see that in the detailing on his/her hat. So what I suggest is getting a good, solid basis on human anatomy and working your way into the manga style from there.

Try making the chin less protuberant, too. The way the neck connects to the face is definitely not that steep.

Check the image I'm uploading. It's a little basics on profile faces.

Good luck.

Coneheads mofo, can you see it?

Yeah, I know. I do have trouble with circles though. Although I did that with the intention of showing him the basics around the chin/eyeline. I think that's the most critical point atm.
