Note to manga artists:

Your characters have feet. It would be nice to occasionally see them. None of us live in a world where we only see people from the mid-thigh up. Also please choose camera angles other than straight-on-shoulder-level periodically. It makes it look so much nicer.

(Yes, I'm going through Rumble Pak and Sakura Pak.)

I'd also add:
1) Hands are not for hiding.
2) Characters have butts. Legs do not go straight down from the small of the back to the angkles.

I don't mind hidden hands when youdo it well -- there's a lot of hidden hands in RUROUNI KENSHIN, for example, which aren't obvious until you're paging through it desperately looking for useful hand positions to copy reference, but characters who stand around with their hands in their pockets in more than one panel is SO BLOODY OBVIOUS that it should be banned.
