Heya, Since not many people have seen my artwork, I decided to put my manga picture of me up here.

Please be truthful...Good, or bad?

That's not a bad start, needs some work maybe, but then, don't we all? ;) I know I do! I'm going to attempt to offer some constructive critisism for you...

The hair is pretty good, hair that has spikes is incredibly hard to draw, but it looks ok here, so good work on that! ^^

Proportion. Not too bad! Looks fairly correct. I think the neck might be a tiny bit too wide, and the legs need to be a little longer maybe, but apart form that, that's pretty good too.

Folds. You tried some folds in the t-shirt! That's good :)! Try some in the trousers next time too ^^. There's a nice tutorial here if you feel like taking a look.

Shoes. The shoes aren't bad (I hate shoes with a vengance), but remember the foot has a shape to it too ;) Your shoes have a slight heel usually, take a look at a pair and see if you need to include it next time ^^.

Also a general, but not necessary tip: When you're done with a drawing, often getting a pen, usually a black one is best, and going over the lines then rubbing out the pencil can make a drawing look a lot neater. Not always the case and it's personal preference really, but just a thought! :)

Just rember the legs are almost 2 times longer than the above boddy(I don't count the head whit it) In this drawing it almost is the same size.

the right arm looks bad. it could yous more rondy. his hand looks weard. if he supose the hold the skate bord you should post or the arm totaly difrend or the skate bord. Yous more 3D in the skate bord.

The rest I totaly agree whit elisa.

ofcours like elisa say you can yous a pen. you could alosw yous difrend tipes of pensil.

Heh, yeah well it was a preview, but here's the first page of my manga (This is also a preview) It took me about 5 hours to get the pictures right, but by the end of this year I should have about over 100 pages because I want to get it published early next year since I've had one comic published before, so...here's a little sneaky peak of the manga: Lovers Alone.
