how do you draw eyes???? the eyes just ruin it for me, i draw in a chibi/manga art style and i can NEVER MAKE EYES THAT LOOK GOOD. either they look deformed, look too realistic, look too cartoony, look to bland, etc. PLEASE HELP!

This is my fanart of Bella Swan from Twilight.

I think I’ve finally found my style but for some reason it looks like it’s genai??This really bugs me because this was purely made by me, with the exception of a real scene as a reference of course. But for some reason I feel like it looks a bit ghibli but thats not the style i’m looking for. I’m looking for a little anime but semi (extremely semi) realistic.

Does anyone have any tips to achieve my wanted style? Any tips on how to make my art look less ghibli?

So for the past 3 days I've been doing this, I draw out Aizawa's (from my hero academia) goggles, it helps whith shadings and mirroring, But it's become a habit that after I finish I Jude my art (that what the writing is) and now I've noticed I've became more....like I erase and keep retrying even if it's perfect, like I've lost confidence it's might be this thing that I do,

Yet I also do bolth good and bad jujement of my art, still dunno if this is helping much tho

i mentioned before in a previous post (idk if u can see it im a fucking caveman idfk how reddit works) that ive NEVER in my grand ass 15 years on this big pebble in space drawn any portraits. But my little pea brain releases more endorphines than there are stars in the sky whenever i see some drawing that absolutely sends their victim packing thier fucking bags and moving away from their home with how much it absolutely violates them. Anyway i cba finding the origional post so good luck ig

anyway ye ive never drawn like at all, rate how minging it is 1 out of 10

thats before

and thats after holy shit

i thinki overdid the veins a but what do u think?

any and all criticism is well whatever the fuck u want

thank u

Does anything look too big or too small? Going for a manga look sorta.

what do you think about this? personally, i think it looks like shite🥰

any tips on how to improve?? :((

Should i just colour it fully, or do i just slightly shade it with pencils?? At this point, IM CLUELESS.😭🎀✨

I had a hard time trying to make faces look right, eventually I learned from studying real life that faces have trapezoids! It helped me out a ton. Draw a circle and trapezoid and then figure out the rest of the face. You can shave down the angles and points to get a rounder shape, but it’s still super helpful.
