I love the way your eyes turned out, nicely fit with the picture :D

Hee, thanks. Jeez, normally my eyes are the worst. Always have one coming off lopsided and junk. Go figure anime types cover at least one up with hair. XD

hehe, I do the same, and I see what you mean by one being offset. I know how to fix that if you want to listen, its not much to it but in this piece here, it's not very not at all notable ^^

Hey, any rules of thumb would be quite welcome. :)

hehe x3

Laughing is not helping! XD

hey, haha, I'm no teacher, I learn as I go too :P

Hmm, though, I'm not the best to explain how to do something but I'd say use other art (or an artist you like) as reference for certain things

Good exapmple, I use Zen's art as ref for my bodies and Blotch's ref for hands, paws, and heads ^^

I actually had to buy a book on drawing manga to learn how to draw decent eyes.

If you're not going for the manga-ish look, then all I can really suggest is that if the eyes are a different distance away from the viewer (such as if the head is turned partially to the side), and nothing is covering it, just make everything on it slightly shorter horizontally.

I had one but I never used it since I noticed SLIGHT improvement in my style of the eyes and mainly the head in general but once I start posting my new things you'll see :)
