Welcome to Gaia! ::

I have been drawing for a few years now but I still can't get everything together properly, this is my latest drawing and one of my best but it is also missing several things and I wish to make it better, please help me and tell me what I can do to improve. I appreciate suggestions but criticism is not needed. Suggestions on shading are welcomed as well and ideas for filling negative space.

That, and cut off off about an inch from his chin. Yeesh.

And damn that's a horrible profile! If his head ends when his hair does, than you accidentally cut off about half of his brain. It's a common mistake when you don't know your anatomy, but it's making me cringe just looking at it. (I used to do it though, so I'm not just being mean)

You know, I really like the way the female came out, it looks like you work better on a smaller scale (I do too). Tip: you can really make the eyes pop if you make the outline on them darker than the rest of the eye. and think about making planning lines for the face, it'll give a better proportion.

Well i have a few suggestions............have you tried using an eboney pencil and a kneeded eraser those are really god for scetching and shading you can also try charcol and canty vran if you want they are both realitivly cheap.Also i think that his head is a bit to long if you need some help on proportions try www.howtodrawmanga.com and click tutorials that should help you out....you really need to work on the bodyy proportions is all but you are good.PM me if you want any help ok goog luck! biggrin

it's a little bit weird redface ...the face is too thin... the nose is too small.. may be i'm wrong, but is what i think! .. your draw is a good one XD (it's a godd idea)
