    I don't watch the show, but I don't think that will affect my judgment as I know the characters.

    First of all, for later notice, try scanning the image instead of taking a picture.

    Otherwise, it's quite good.
    However- on Trunks, the part of his chest you can see looks tilted, while his head is pointing forwards. It might just be a pose, but it kind of changes the image.

    I can't seem to find much of any other problems, except for a little pet peeve I have-
    Their facial expression is all the same, or close to it. A bit more variety would improve it overall.

    Anyway, good job.

    While I can't really prove anything here, this looks like it's traced. If it is, feedback is pretty much pointless.

    I can't really stand Akira Toriyama's art style, but you've got the faces down, as far as that goes. However, once we start moving down below the neck, everything gets really flat. Trunks is pretty much the only one with a body that desn't look completely flat. Vegeta is the worst, especially that armor-thing on his chest. EDIT: Well, as you've clearly shown in a later post, this was traced. No point in critiquing something you didn't actually make.

    With that said, if you really want to learn how to draw, Dragonball is not a good place to start.

    I think you're doing a fine job so far c:
    But yes, like Britishism said: try scanning the drawing instead of taking a photo. Scanners can be tricky sometimes, but their quality shows your work better.

    I'm personally in lost terms with colored pencils. Mine looks liney a lot of times, but that's quite normal. Yours are as well, but there are a few tricks on how to make them look less liney. Such as coloring in crosshatches, lightly of course, or coloring in circles. That was actually quite vague. If you want this to be your medium, try googling some tutorials on it. It helps heaps <3
    Also, your lines are very nice. But they lack in depth or diversity or something like that. What I mean is, you should try and experiment on the lines by making some points thicker. It will give a more realistic effect, or even, a manga like effect. Also, get into shading! You're good so far, try adding that in and everything will look better. Shading can get confusing but they make the drawing better and more 3-dimensional. Start with really simple shading then get there gradually~

    So far, you're doing very good. I like what you've come up with~ Good job n___n !

    Eh, I don't really think I can give you any feedback on this drawing.

    Draw people and get better. Drawing these should become cake once you improve.

    Vegeta and Gohan are the best drawn in my opinion. You did a good job capturing the essence of Super Saiyans but Trunks' hair seems a bit off to me. Vegeta's armor is also looking a bit off but nobody said drawing Super Saiyans was ever easy. Nice work.

    Thanks, oh and I tried the best I could after watching DBZ
    Here's a shot of the episode I saw with Trunks's hair: http://downloads.members.tripod.com/finalkamehameha1/cap009.png
    And here's a render: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AcBUSVxs82w/S7SsH51S0pI/AAAAAAAAb50/NwReV9PfpqM/s1600/Future_Trunks.PNG
    But yeah, it does look a tiny bit off XD

    I never said I traced it. I don't have a printer and how am I supposed to trace a PSP Wallpaper?
