Now i'm filled to the top with fear, but it's all just a bunch of matter...

I've had the colorin' urge lately and I doodled this at work this morning, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Amd I getting away from anime faces yet? Someone please say yes. D:

I still rather see it in the eyes, mostly the way you do eyelashes.

i would still call it anime-styled, BUT it's more anime-inspired. mostly the eyes, a bit in the mouth. but the top lid and the iris itself are still pretty anime.
that being said, you're maturing the style. there's so many variations on anime styles, from the how-to-draw-manga to well-drawn-moe to, i dunno, something with a more mature style like cowboy bebop or something. it's nowhere NEAR ~*~M*O*E~*~ or anything obnoxiously animu, don't worry.
(i'm working on maturing my style a lot, too. so i totally understand all this and have been thinking all about it the past couple years. :P)

oh, and i LOVE the black with yellow accents on the shirt. *___*

You're getting away from anime faces. I mean, you can still see a little influence, but nothing that would make someone go,"That's anime." :3 Looks good.
