An anime guy that is not feminine and not drawn by Tetsuya Nomura.

lol? Not feminine certainly but proportions are severely off. His arms and hands are way too small and his left shoulder looks like the muscle and bone has been drained out of it. The sword is weirdly shaped as well. Don't know if that was what you were looking for but that's what I noticed.

Yeah. I suck at drawing bodies, so everything is going to be misproportioned for awhile.

i almost thought this was another bot..

the face/head looks fine. however, the arms (especially the left arm, almost deflated), and hands are really small, and deformed. take a look at some arms. they usually go big/small/big/small in a way.

other than that, i'm not really a fan of anime drawings. so, meh.

I'll definitely keep those tips in mind the next time I try to draw any kind of character. I've never really practiced drawing bodies very much, but...

I didn't intend the sword to look good, just to look decently sized and aligned with the hands.

Anyway, how is the pose (besides the lower body, which I barely started drawing)? I really hope that the two-handed sword stance is a good start in making poses.

The pose could use work too. For his facial expression the pose should be more dynamic because his face and pose contradicts each other. His arms should probably be more looking like he's ready to swing, but he looks like he's just kind of standing there.
