Generic anime drawing

[Kai]

So I started drawing back in 2009, beginning with simple stick figures and then working my way up. I pulled up a drawing I made in 2010 and decided to redraw it to see all the progress I've made.

Now I'd like to know what I can work on next. I know for one thing I'm terrible at shadowing and I can also improve body proportion. Besides that, any other criticisms would be appreciated.

[SERIOUSLY THOUGH]

I don't read much manga but this looks good ! The only irk I have is the fingers' proportions to one another.
That being said, this is very well drawn

Here's my superb attempt that I crafted for a thread a few months back. I put a spoiler tag so that people wouldn't get too amazed too quickly - that's not healthy

Thanks for the input! I'm not very great at drawing hands in general so I'll try working on that.

Also, I cannot thank you enough for gracing this thread with such amazing artwork.
