dang that's some nice art biggrin I think the self portrait would look better if the black was more solid if it didn't come in and out colorwise (if that makes sense :<) It also looks like you are trying to do rembrandt shadowing on the picture, which would be better achieved if you did not provide the little pice of light where the eyebrow is (it sort of throws me off)

it was my first time doing a self portrait like that, it was actually kind of a side project to a project i had already done in class, stupid teacher made me "fix" some things which i think made it look worse

she kept telling me to go over it, she said my black was too light which i didn't understand because it was a freaking black marker,how can it be light? it looks different in the scan than it does in rl.

ah that sounds really obnoxious. I don't see how black could be too light, maybe she just was a jerk who never got to use black markers in art class. Well keep up the good work, you are a talented person :3

I like your digital piece, although I think that if you are using lines that thin, maybe you'll want to colour them a little - dark enough to see them, but light enough so that they match the picture a little better (e.g use darker browns for the lines around bits of skin, darker version of the hair colour around that etc) or maybe use a thicker brush if you want to keep the lines black, to make them really stand out.

The self portrait is a neat idea but its hard to tell whats what because the shadows all blend together and the marker was thick so detail looked like ti was harder to do. It might help to just use a thinner marker, or figure out a way to make definition in the shadow itself, like using a gradient.

as for the digital drawing, just take some practice on the human body to make proportions better. as for the coloring, it looks really good. the blending is really well done, but i think again the shadows should blend a little more
