For one month that's good!
Especially the 3/4 one.
If I would suggest anything, it would be to keep working on shading and things of that nature.
Mostly, just make it your own. It doesn't have to look like everyone else's art to be art.

I can't draw for shit, but I'm pretty sure that the hardest thing when drawing is getting the proportions right and knowing where to put what. I think that it's pretty good for a beginner.

I suggest making the face slightly longer, with a more pointed chin and the eyes to be further apart if you want to see a good video on how draw anime/manga just go to youtube and type Mark Crilley, he is a manga artist that teaches how to draw manga and other stuff. Practice makes perfect :D

Needs a little more angle on the chin only.
5/10, for one month, you have plenty of potential.

First of all, considering your experience, your drawings are really good.

Here are the good points:
- The shading of the hair
- The eyebrows and the shape of the nose are perfect.

Now for the others:
- The hair could have been a bit flowy, to give it a smooth look. For this, I suggest you try drawing them like thin strands at first, then fill the shades.
- Anime faces are all about the eyes. Try to get more depth in the eyes. For this, shading them a bit more starting from the top, shifting from a darker to lighter tone might do the thing.

The shape of the face fits the drawing, although the chin needs some work. But as I said, if you draw deeper eyes, then make the face a bit longer.

Ofcourse, these are just my views, based on how I draw.... Just draw how it suits your style best.
I hope my suggestions helped :)

I think you did a nice job.

One to note on is for the eyes, look at your drawing from afar (this really helps, because a lot of times when you're looking at it up close, you don't see the entire image, even when you think you do). For your eyes, try to draw the pupils a bit spread out more.
If you look at the right image, she may look kind of cross-eyed a bit.
I think the her mouth for the left one is good, but I think for the right one, if you move her mouth up just a tiny bit, the face would look a lot more natural.

Good luck!!

For one month, you did really good, but the proportions are off. Keep in mind that a normal humans eyes are about one eye apart, meaning you could fit another eye inbetween. Since this is anime, you don't really need to follow this, but it recommend that you study more human proportions and compare those to anime proportions. Also, look up mark crilley, his YouTube page is dedicated towards drawing anime and manga, and he's one of the first youtubers to have a how to draw channel. He's also a actual manga author.

Anyway, your heading the right direction. Just analyze face proportions more.
I didn't come here to play, I came to win. Now lets play.
