Sorry, last post and this was more "sketchy" than "ecchi".

It's often interesting to see western illustrators try to draw anime characters for the first time; it's often horribly lumpy, and the odd subtleties of composition/positioning of eyes/nose/mouth, head size (doll-like), and ultra slender body shapes and subtle 'graphic' shapings and compositions are often lost on many american animation people. (That's changing, as anime is now beginning to affect students in american art and animation schools)

There are definitely some exceptions, like image here, which I think is a professional western animator. (Or if isn't, should be) But even this is not an example of anime, so much as it is a hybrid style.

There's a certain sense of 'graphics' that the japanese have innately that I *think* might be due partially to their written language being complex and precise graphic shapes that lends itself to calligraphy.

I see many similarities between japanese calligraphy and the shapes in eyebrows, eye delineations, hair shapes, and overall form.

newfag again, sorry, this post (and another) were part of a conversation differencing against western style.

Totally wrong as a separate post; sorry.
