my first atempt at fanart

Oh, and to add to what karyuu said...

Symmetry!

When you draw a head at a straight on angle, a helmet, a shield, a sword, make sure it is balanced. Of course, this is only for swords such as Broad Swords and Claymores, because some arent symmetrical anyways, but try to keep it all even. Also, look up references whenever you draw.

[edit]i sharpened the image and contrasted it so it was easier to see:
