what is the most character from arabian ?

[CybrGfx]

I don't like any of them, because they look too Animé, which is a Japanese rendering style.
They are all too stylized, with none of them looking arab. #8 offends me, it resembles a monkey too much.

Clothing, physical features, and environment are the main factors to give a character a specific ethnicity. But at some point, even the most authentic costume and setting will not make a character seem authentic if the anatomy is too poorly exaggerated.

The biggest issue I see with all these characters is that they all have tiny noses. This, along with the tiny pointed chins and the overly large eyes are what scream "Animé" to my eye. #3 with the beard is the least beleiveable of them all.

Don't know why but i really like this one!

You are very handsome...

Using Photoshop to turn your avatar into a "sketch," it is the eyes, the eyebrows, and the nose that are the most noticeable and identifiable traits of Arab men. The nose, particularly, because it is not a tiny nose, nor a flat nose, but a strong, powerful nose.

It is the nose, and the head covering that I dislike the most for the boy. The second image is a paintover using the head wrap of the avatar sketch, along with changing the nose line. The lines are much larger and cruder than yours, to show that it is not your work.

Thank you very much

I learned a lot from you :)

[CybrGfx]

Ahmed, some of the worlds most beautiful people come from your part of the world. It is near the birthplace of human civilization...

That is why I do not like any of the examples you posted. They are SUCH poor attempts to simplify a beautiful people in a Japanese Manga form, which I am not fond of, anyway. The noses are an afterthought, and anyone mature enough to have facial hair is rendered in a sloppy and scruffy manner. While this is part of cartooning and caricaturization, it is too much a poor stereotype, rather than an attractive stylization...

I like your drawings, and I like that you want to learn more than just making a cartoon face, you want to make an Arabian cartoon face. That will be what helps define your individual style as an artist. Keep working at this. It is a unique perspective, and one which is needed in the cartooning world. You may be the artist to bring about better Arabian characterizations.
