Watch speed art videos, wither they traditional or digital!!
The reason why I say that is because for those who are more of a visual learner, then you can pick-up on some ways on how to color, lineart, or over all how other artists draw out bodies or even backgrounds.
The point is
It is best for adapting to how others can draw, learning those tricks and see if they work for you.
Over my short hiatus I thought about this a lot. And came up with nothing.
Now I'm thinking about characters in multiplayer games which I could never make work, but other people could trounce me with. There's a decent list of them, but I'm not using them in my answer.
If we use the FFVIII and Radiata casts and look through them, we get what I was talking about with characters I don't like, but not really annoying. In Radiata, anyone who was truly annoying wasn't seen much of. There's a decent cast of characters involved in the plot, and a slew of characters not. The plot heavy characters are all pretty decent, and the others I only had to interact with if I wanted. And even then, I wasn't annoyed by their presence, they where just either stupid or boring or something.
FFVIII is the same. The core characters are all fine, and anyone else isn't seen enough to worry about.
any of those characters who aren't really characters, just personification of menu screens could work, if I could think of any at the moment. Y'know, characters like Murfy from Rayman. Course I liked Murfy in his original incarnations.
What really makes an annoying character is that they just want stop being annoying. They're always in your face, or keep coming back, and every time you just don't care about what they're saying. If a character is annoying, but you only see them once, and for a short period of time, they really aren'tthatannoying.
Since starting this I've been amazed how bad I am at remembering old games I've played. Games are surprisingly transient.
I'm going to have to go with Ken from Persona 3. I don't want to, I don't think he fits the spirit of the question. He never really annoyed me, I just never cared about anything he had to said. Just a stupid kid, that's all.
Akihiko to ken-
“But,if you still have the will to fight, then come back and stand on your own two feet”. Now that sounds familiar(fullmetal alchemist)..... XD
