Focus on drawing faces first

When you are beginning your journey to drawing anime you need to start small and work your way up.  For example, you should start with the facial features, when drawing characters.  After you learn how to draw the facial features (eyes, ears, nose, etc.) you should learn how to do the head and the hair.  Then, you should learn the neck and torso.  After that... Well, you get the idea.  Usually doing things in a sequential manner helps you a lot in the long run.
