Hands, feet, ears, nose and mouth considering, sometimes everything is hard to draw but I ask the Lord to guide me so that it will be the way He wants it and it always seems to turn out much better that way. ^_^
I've also found clothes to be quite a pain to draw sometimes.

My writing can be kind of sloppy sometimes so I have a hard time with it, but I agree with Kaligraphic, pictures are the hardest though, And I also agree with Puguni, wrinkles in clothes are really hard for me to draw sometimes! ^^;;

I'm okay with most stuff, but my peeve has now shifted to drawing the feet. XO

It's wierd. It seems that as I get better at drawing, the more things I find I have problems with. I still struggle a little with hands (darn phalanges!!!), but I'm getting better at it.

Everything. Clothes are a disaster. Hands have been evil, but I'm getting the hang of them a tad. Feet and shoes hate me. Proportions suck. And eyes.. *shudders*

Yes. Proportions are evil. Very evil. And so are erasers that smear everywhere. Bleah...

I have trouble with male hands, arms if they're in non-standard positions, and backgrounds (mostly because I get too lazy to draw them in... ^^;;;;)

My style is similiar to that of Rurouni Kenshin's OVA's, I did not copy them from the show but I like making more realistic looking Japanese drawings like something like this:
Image
My favorite style has always been traditional Japanese Anime styles, like real looking Asian eyes and trying to make the drawings more realistic in everyway I can think of. It's extremely hard to draw this sometimes especially the eyes, the detail of the hair, nails, fingers, body, feet, basically everything eventually can get to be a pain depending on what your doing in your drawing. I've had more than just a couple of headaches trying to perfect this style. I'm still trying to finish up on the parts I haven't been able to make look real enough. Sometimes I go free style but I have my own unique style no matter what I draw.

*nods to Mave's comment* Backgrounds are evil. As is perspective in just about ANYTHING. And hands are hard too ^^;;

(in response to an interview question "Do you have a pet peeve having to do with this biz?")
People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

Arigatou gozaimasu. ^_^

I think acting is extremely hard to draw as well as backgrounds. Especially if you want a "dreamy" sort of background with all the floral imprints seem pretty hard for me to master. And after the first few background drawings I make I tend to get impatient, careless and sloppy because it takes so long so the picture of the person looks great but the background looks gloomy and terrifying. One thing I've had a problem drawing is hips. I draw the girls with bigger hips of course but then sometimes when it comes to drawing males I get really confused! @.@
I really need to try to work on improving my art skills.

Hands, feet, sometimes hair (depending on what it's doing), and folds in clothes.

Another problem area is drawing figures with different poses and from different angles. I look through my drawings and all of my figures are on a blank picture plane (I'm really lazy when it comes to backgrounds :sweat: ) and either facing front head-on or with their bodies slightly turned (and face in 3/4th view). A majority are in standing poses.

Agreed.
I've drawn a pretty cool background for an Inuyasha pic I drew once. I still like it a lot. ^_~*
I think generally everything is hard to draw in its own way. ^^;;;

I enjoy drawing but I can't say I've ever drawn manga style before. Gasp! Better try it soon before I get kicked off CAA. (lol)
I have the most trouble with perspective and drawing females and proportions of body. Hands are a bummer too.

Faces and heads are my speacilaty right now, as well. I think a person should try to perfect one thing before moving on to the whole thing! :sweat: *needs more practice!*
