Im having a hard time understanding this. You have been doing this for FOUR YEARS and you have 2 comments on your art and channel combined. I have comments everywhere, i have been around only since august, i have twice as many page views,and 2 watchers for my awful drawings, and you got 0 for your AMAZING drawings. So i will be your first watcher.

Haha thank you, it's actually because I'm not a very active user, I've actually started being more active for only a month or two, so I guess that's the reason for not having much popularity, but I'll try to build up from this point.
Thank you for being my first watcher though

I tried to make a drawing using this anime/manga style, and i wan't your opinion, although keep to mind that this is my first try.

Well, you've got the right feeling going on there. I can see you're trying to give the character that manga look in his eyes, and it works
As for some advice I could give you, while making the rough lines of the body/head, make sure that all lines end up following the form of the drawing.
For example, the cross you made on your characters head, doesn't have a right direction, and it should be more like something like this: media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9gd25…
That way, in the intersection of the cross you would be adding the nose.
As for the rest, I can see you're starting to experiment with different poses for your characters and that's awesome. You always learn the when you experiment the most, and I can see you're getting into it.
Just make sure to be careful to try to keep the proportions right.
One good practice you can do is to use references to help you on your drawings.
Something like this:
fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/201…
(Drawings from these links aren't mine.)
Don't be afraid to copy from other people's drawings. It's a very good practice actually, that you can learn a lot from. If you copy though, be sure to do it by eye, not by copying over. Make the drawings your own, add your own stuff, to them, like hairstyle, clothing, etc.
Anyway, you're on the right track
Keep practicing!
