don't fav thisjust crit.
please...crit.
for the love of god critique this.
I can't do much better than this and I don't know what to fix.
however...internet was dead so I had no reference.
only thing I can think is the hair issue, the right eye being too far/weird, and the eyes just being..big. also the ear looks like a prune. but again I don't know how to fix them.
but yeah seriously please help. ;n; I want to work on my people.
not supposed to be any person in particular by the way. just scribbled her when my internet died.
oh and if it helps, I'm not going for realism or anime. I want to try disney (go figure, I'm a typical "sparkle fluff dog" ja?) but...even that's different. I'd say my favorite style is the style in Anastasia (idk I see a...slight different in it from other disney movies...slight xD ) ...so I'm kinda going for something similar to that if people want to give me tips on how to head toward that style.

A couple things I can say. Moving the lips a bit forward, they don't look bad where thy are, but it makes the face look very arrow shaped, again, not bad, but not as natural? I know you had no reference, but one thing to look at is that human eyes are shaped different than canines, but I like your style of eyes.
I probably wasn't much help, but I gave my own bit of critique.
I think it looks amazing for no ref.

oh wow this looks great! I love how you did the hair c:
mm YES I LOVE THAT STYLEE <33 baw it makes me want to try and learn to draw humans xD; goodluck anyway though!

This is actually really pretty!
And I wish I could help, but I'm going through kinda the same thing.
I'm actually [because I'd like to try a Disney style too] drawing origional Disney characters for practice before drawing new characters and changing the style up a bit or whatever you're aiming to do.
That was probably useless since that's probably what you already had in mind, but hey! Thought I'd mention just in case.
And I would say round the face a little more, but it doesn't look bad like this. Everyone draws people differently so in ways the size of eyes and lips etc. doesn't matter so much because again, it's all just what you're trying to aim for!
Great work with this, nonetheless. <3

looks great! it makes me happy to know that someone is going for a disney style, i love it and not to many people try it. For advice, the face shape is perfect, the only thing I can say is maybe do more detail lineart on the hair. It's hard to say cuase it depends on the style

On the eye closest to the viewer maybe move it toward the other one some more. Other than that it looks very nice to me.

The left cheek looks a bit low, move it a few pixels up and it will be fine. everyone else has mentioned other thingd, so i think its good. Her eyes are pretty ^_^

well
if you want critique , hmm ...
i find the shape of the face too .. anime-ish ? :V
other then that i love it .
-faves anyways-

I think Lynn pretty much summed up everything with her redline that
I was thinking, so I'll leave it at that. xD But otherwise, it looks great - I love
the style. <3

When I went into are class to learn to draw humans my teacher told me the ear should be between the top of the eye and bottom of the nose. Hope that helps. ^^
π: 0 β©: 0
it looks pretty good to me but i would try bringing the eyes a bit closer together, they look to far apart. other than that i would recomend giving more detail/shape to the nose. looks great otherwize the eyes are beautiful
π: 0 β©: 0
that could be because anastasia is not a disney movie 
π: 0 β©: 0
Maybe the nose is a bit big and the ear, a bit small :~
but I can't do better and this actually looks greatΒ³ ^_^

Well I don't think my adivce will help now because of all these people.
xD But...I don't think the eye is too far..maybe just too big.
π: 0 β©: 0
I really do like your style in humans anyway sam, but if you want some help....
maybe the nose can be the SLIGHTEST bit thinner-looking, maybe the ear could be just a little rounder, and the eyes just a TAD smaller. :3
but over-all, I LOVE the hair and the way you colored the eyes, and the lips look so.... REAL for a cartoon pic 8O

If you're going for their older style...
Shading is very different with Disney. They don't shade a character unless...
1) they are evil
2) they are in the shade or a tree or some other object
3) they are about to die
[link]
[link]

[link]
It's also a more bold shadow as well (when it's there).
There is hardly ever shading on people..
[link]
[link]
[link]
Usually, with Disney characters the eyes are a tad smaller, and coloring is very plain. Their hair is also very poofy, unrealistic, and neat..
The cheek bone is very pronounced, and so are the eyes. I think that this picture would be the best reference...

I hope I helped

Ok, this is awesome. Kay.
But lets see. Humans are not alike to canines, and I see in your canines they have wide foreheads, well, the bit between the eyes.
Anyways, The eyes are a tad to far away from each other. Also. I suggest drawing an oval shape then draw aliened line's across the face. Just so you can play around with the detail.
If anything is hard to draw, try and find other drawings, like for lips/ears so on.
Great drawing.

This is amazing, Sam. c: I personally can't see anything wrong with it, but what do I know? xD
I agree with the Anastasia thing though. I've always prefered the drawings on there much more than any other disney film. x)

I also try to "copy" a certan cartoony style when it comes to humans, but it's not heading my way, so the only thing I can "help" you with is that you're not alone...
Maybe you can search for tutorials here on dA? It helped me... Kinda.
Or maybe copy characters from the movie and then go from there...? I dunno.
Just don't give up.

Hmm well the eye on the left looks alittle odd, and the nose but that was probs pointed out already.
And ear detail wich i saw was pointed out.
But i still quite like this.
π: 0 β©: 0
UHHHH Iunno if it's been said yet but the top of the ear should line up with the eyebrows and the bottom of the ear lines up with the bottom of the nose C: that's all I can think of..
I think you draw people just fine >_> I like the style. Pshhh
π: 0 β©: 0
All I can really say about this is that the eye is a bit too big and the cheek is too pointy.
Otherwise, lovely.
π: 0 β©: 0
the problem i have with it is that it looks like it's a very human anthro pic, like her ears are trying to turn into elf or bat ears, and her eyes are waaay too cat like, if they were smaller and less upturned at the corners and the ear was rounder and not so narrow on the lobe, i think you'd be much closer to a great human face. But hey, I'm not much of an artist when it comes to humans or anything haha. That's my opinion though.
π: 0 β©: 0
the ears are pretty high up and the neck looks weird to me, the way it goes into the chin i guess? i have to say that references really helped me when i was first starting out drawing humans... you should first practice doing some realism from references or from real subjects. or look up a guide online about how to draw faces and anatomy and that kind of thing, looking at diagrams of the proportions really helps (me at least). also, having an anatomy book hanging around for when you're really stumped is never a bad idea. i have a really old one with the cover falling off that my art teacher was giving away and it works fine.
and if you want to work towards that certain style, tracing for practice or referencing pictures from the movie would be fine as long as you didn't copy exactly or claim what you traced as your own and blah blah blah but i'm sure you know that
lol this is an unusually long comment for me... xD

You see a difference between Anastasia and other Disney movies because Anastasia isn't Disney. 
That said - the eyes need to be lowered a little bit, and her left (our right) brought in slightly closer to the bridge of her nose, unless you want them to be really wide-set like Jasmine's are. Her nose isn't quite perky enough - it looks a little like the tip of it has been smooshed. Her mouth is a little too low in her chin, and her ear is too high (the top of the ear should line up with the outside corner of the eyes).
Also, if you're going for the Disney-esque, her hair should be pieced a bit more, which sounds odd. What I mean is that chunks of bangs should have lineart making them clearly separate from the rest of the hair, because otherwise it blends together oddly.
Example: [link]
See how the curve of her bangs has been lined off from the rest of her hair? This helps us distinguish what shape her hair actually is.
Cheers!

The closest eye is too big, but the ear and lips in contrast are too small. The lips should be longer, not so petite.
π: 0 β©: 0
I like it...I just think the pink tips on the eyes are kinda odd.
π: 0 β©: 0
the ear should be bigger i think and if you get rid of the pink stuff in the corner of the eye, i think it'd look better
and the part of the face that juts out below her right eye shouldn't jut out so far....
i hoped i helped n__n

The ears are a bit high up to be believable, other than that it's lovely.
π: 0 β©: 0
I think the nose could be a bit smaller as well as the eyes. But it's MUCH better then my people!
π: 0 β©: 0
ok i suck at people but the face looks a little pointy on the cheek,like maybe the point is a little low,and the ears is a little high ...Please for the love of god dont look at my humans though,I blow at drawing them but I seem to be able to see whats wrong and just not be able to fix it,you know?Other then that I think she looks lurvley
π: 0 β©: 0
eyes are too far apart!
and they look a bit big...
(as well as uneven)
yeah, everything else looks real nice, just fix up the eyes and you're good to go.
π: 0 β©: 0
Overall, this picrue is good.
However, if you should fix something, it would be the ear, the right eye (the biggest one) and the nose.
The nose is a little big I think and I also think you should be able to see the other nostril.
The eye is fine but I think if you moved it more to the left it should be okay.
The ear is just a bit too small and positioned too high.
I hope I helped.

Not bad. I don't think anyone has mention the upper lip. It's darker than the bottom. Keep at it. I'm doing the same as you now. lDDD
Working on humans that is. Everything I draw comes out looking like a canine. I'm a sad case. xD
π: 0 β©: 1
I actually got the darker upper lip idea when I was looking at [link] earlier XD;;; but looking at other pics from the movie now it's...not like that. >n>
but I feel your pain xD I can't draw anything without it resembling a canine in some way.
butyes thanks!
π: 0 β©: 0
I love it, the only things I would change are I'd move her nose up a just a bit and make her eyes both going in the same direction. Other than that it's just as beautiful as your other works. Two thumbs up.
π: 0 β©: 0
the eye on the right could be pushed inwards a bit more.. and if you DONT want anime then I suggest making the eyes smaller.
the nose is great!! round is good
=3

I TRIED TO REDLINE IT
I hope it helps o: Idk I'm not the best a humans either

I suck a drawing humans.
But I have to agree that the eyes are a bit to high up

Anastasia was my fucking FAVORITE MOVIE EVER. I still know all the songs by heart. ANYWAYS
It's a Don Bluth film or w/e. AKA Watch Titan AE and like.. the people in All Dogs Go To Heaven. A lot of people use that style.. The Anastasia one D:
π: 0 β©: 1
sadly yes but...of course I never draw things exactly like how I imagine them. xD I'll probably be a...failure and make it like...animedisney D8/
BUT YES I still freaking love that movie -watched it yesterday-

HAVE YOU HEARD THERES A RUMOR IN ST PETERSBURG HAVE YOU HEARD WHAT THEYRE SAYING ON THE STREETS

If you want to replicate that style, honestly tracing is the way to go. I'm probably going to be burned horribly for using that word positively, but its true. As long as you don't claim what your tracing as your original piece, obviously, it can really help with anything. Even in realism, tracing 100 hands or feet can potentially help you better understand the anatomy.
So even for Anastasia's style, by tracing stills from the movie or something you can probably get a better idea on how the eyes, noses, mouths, etc. are shaped in that style. Or at least you might learn a lot faster than just eyeballing the pictures.
Other than that, I don't really know what advice can be given for that specific style from anyone who's not one of the animators hah
π: 0 β©: 1
you shouldn't be burned for that, I'm pretty sure a lot of artists do that for help but don't want to admit it. xP heck, I trace dogs all the time, I just don't submit them and try to just apply what I traced to a new picture. I don't know why tracing didn't cross my mind for this.. haha thanks for reminding me! XD <3 I just hope I could find good enough shots or pictures to help.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah that would probably be the more difficult part =/ in a few minutes on Google I found a site with quite a few stills from the movie, but really the biggest issue would probably be the size of the pictures.
Last resort you could play the movie on TV, pause it, and tape a paper to the screen? 
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, I can't find any larger images. xD I'll probably find the movie online and take screenshots from that, haha
