Welcome to Gaia! ::

i like your art biggrin your linework is pretty high quality, so maybe you could work on your colors to take your art to the next level? be bolder with shadows and highlights when it suits the pic, perhaps biggrin nice work!

you mean the only one who likes your art? i'm new, but perhaps people are not so active on this particular part of the forums... i know loads of people would like it x)
yeap copic markers! the thing with markers is that they're pretty expensive... copics cost me about six singapore dollars a pop. o__o you need quite a wide range of colors and shades to shade nicely, too, so its quite the investment. over like 5 years i've accumulated 72 markers through abusing my birthday and christmas rights xDD;; maybe if you've got a friend with markers willing to let you try their markers, it would be easier to get a feel of them? i get fierce protective of mine though sweatdrop they're my babies, hahaha! or if not, get some shades of just one color (for example, blue: lets say 1 darker, 2 intermediate and 2 lighter shades to blend [#cool shadow is the lightest blue/green there is, i think]), and use those on a pic. you'll get an idea of what coloring with markers is like, without having to buy too many. its also a good idea to put scrap paper under the paper you're coloring on, because the ink tends to seep, unless you're using thicker paper like watercolor paper. oh and do make sure that the ink you use for your lineart is alcohol proof, since copics are alcohol based and might make the ink smudge. sad
i hope that helped :3

These are really good! =]

Just one thing I can see though is that the poses look a little stiff. Maybe try gesture drawing, before you flesh out your characters' frames?

Gesture drawing is drawing of human figures in a rapid manner - usually takes at least 30 seconds or so I'd say but no more than 2 minutes. It trains your mind for drawing only the crucial structure and form and structure of a human pose or motion, as well as 'loosening up' to avoid 'stiff' drawings styles.

In a way, it's like how an athlete warms up and does stretches before doing sports.

You can do it with a model in real life or online:

I suppose you could also go to a park and sit on a bench or go on the street with a sketch book and try sketching the basic forms of people who walk by - trying to sketch people who are moving forces you to draw quickly xd

Your drawings are pretty good - I love the colouring.
Good job biggrin

It's really gooood<3
I noticed that the poses look a bit stiff too and also I didnt see too much with perspective. Might wanna work on that too.

Good luck c:

In no way was any offense taken, I thank you for your praises, sensei *bows*
