    Just some of my drawings that I thought I would show I hope to improve as a traditional artist. So I would greatly appreciate any helpful critic. I have four drawings here.

    They're really nicely done! The outline seems a bit shaky and not very fluid and smooth, but that's the only problem. Here's a tip on inking. I read this from one of those how to draw manga books... Don't right at the ballpoint or tip of the pen you're using. Focus on a part slightly in front of the tip of the pen. You're hand will naturally follow to that spot. Practice on a few scrap pieces, and I know you'll get it. It definitely helped me!

    When colouring, try to follow the curves of the outline. Colouring in parallel straight lines makes the image seem very flat or 2D. Give the image some depth in the colouring by using curved pencil strokes.
