My advice if you are really intent on learning how to draw anime is to first learn how to draw life. Once you've gotten a grasp on basic proportions and anatomy you'll find that your anime drawings will have improved significantly.

i think what's really detracting from your manga drawings is your use of un-mangalike features:

1) Overstated Nose (you drew out the entire outline of the nose rather than using a few dashes to suggest its placement)

2) Flat Black eyes - Eyes are a huge part of what makes manga what it is. The fact that you draw such large black pupils lacking an iris and reflections makes it look un-mangaish.

3) Overstated mouth - rarely do you see manga artists color their character's lips, especially if it's a male character. Rather, they rely on shading, so as not to detract from their character's eyes.

4) Coloring - i can't really knock you on this one, cause you need to start somewhere. but flat, unlayered colors is a no-no. Try using colored pencils instead of markers or microsoft paint to give the colors more dynamism.

Also keep in mind that the front view of a face is one of the most difficult poses to draw - you must be symmetrical in the features, and anything off balance leads to unattractiveness (just as in real life). Try the 3/4 pose first, as it's more forgiving on novice artists (you can get away with being unsymmetrical).

Hope that helps

Post above should spend more time on the chick's tits to be honest.

On topic: Yea, you need to look harder. Figure out which basic shapes of what you want to draw, and go from there. Start off with the big parts, such as a semi-circle for the head, the box for the chest, circle for joints and tubes for arms, as said above. Then add details progressively to the entire drawing - don't stick to one part where you fully detail it and then move onto the next, but instead, try to add a some basics to the details all around then further improve on them as you go along. When you want to correct mistakes, which you will be doing a lot, it really sucks having to erase 15 minutes of work.
