Well I suggest you do more then just quick drawings, unless they're extremly good. I'll go review.

ur right im sorry i am working on making better naruto stuff currently but i feel i just need to get something out there =/
could you make a quick review? :D

Well i think that they were pretty decent. The only thing I would suggest is just taking your time with them, they seemed pretty rushed in some parts.

When you draw, do you draw from memory, or do you use a picture as reference to help you? And do you draw with a pen or a pencil?

i get the picture and pretty much copy
i use a 2b pencil but then go over in pen to edit it a little more then rub out the pencil but when i draw if its a big mistake then yeah i rub it out

Alright, I don't think you should use a pen to tell the truth, it makes it look a little sloppy. Plus, a pen makes everything look a lot deeper, even things that a re supposed to be drawn softly, such as the lines in a finger.

I think that if you really want some good critique in your work, go draw some pictures, and post them in the art forum. There are some amazing artist that can really help you.

wow thanks for the pen advice i'll try it now
i already posted my art to the forum and its getting a bit of activity which im using

Alright, just know that some people can be a bit...harsh when commenting. Do you draw in a sketch book or what?

yeah i have an A5 sketchbook with loads of random pictures and these ones. I'm gonna spend the rest of the summer in turkey and work on other things than manga so i've got about 4 weeks to kill

That sounds pretty cool, Turkey looks like a really nice place to visit.

I think that when you practice drawing, try to work on hands and faces. I would try tracing a really simple hand first, then try drawing it. I did that and it really helped my drawing skills.

awesome i'll try hard at that
im gonna be spending 4 weeks on a diving boat so it will give me a chance to draw some lanscape from black island (google it it looks really dark from a distance)

I hope you do practice, I mean those drawings were actually pretty good, and with some practice I'm sure you can fantastic artwork.

The black islands sound pretty cool, what exactly are you diving for?

i dive cos its a whole new world underwater and my stepfather is a diving instructor. also i've been a national swimmer for 4 years and i wanted to take it one step further in the crazy direction :D

That's cool! I've been deep sea diving once and it was pretty cool. There were a ton a beautiful fish under the water and I remember I saw a shark. I'm happy I didn't shit my pants when that happened :P

awesome i take it you live in the US?
