Happened just like that!

Did the sketch first...
and then painted it black....
inspired from manga art

Ah, looks good. But perhaps I would suggest you to correct his chin (if possible). It looks somewhat, um, bent. The hands also are not truly detailed. But otherwise, it is... Wait, is his eye black? Possibility of something not-so-obvious?

This is really cool! I love his pose and expression. The hand and hair are really well drawn, and I love the way you painted it. The shades of gray look great and this picture looks good in black and white. You should be proud of this!

The only mistake I see is with his chin. It's a bit off center. The mouth doesn't quite line up with the point of his chin, so it makes that whole area look a bit lopsided. All you need to do is move the point around to the right until it's directly under the center of his mouth.

And I didn't really notice this until after I looked at the pic for a while, but his right eye looks a little funny. At first I thought it was covered up by hair, but now I see that it's a closed line. To me, it doesn't look very natural with one eye open and one closed, I think it should be one or the other. But that could be just me.

Awesome job! Keep drawing!!

Ohhh! How did that happen! Kidding! Al here for a Point Out!

About your piece, well, I like it! The contrast between the two images you posted was great! The expression was also great. It was rebel, but there is a innocence within it. There are just some things I'd like to point out:

BIG AND SMALL
How about resizing it? It can be seen better if it's bigger. But if it can't, then there's no prob, this is just an insignificant factor...for some.

THE CHIN!
The chin was a bit different than, well, some other sketches. How about some editing?

Well that's all! I comletely like it!

Your not-so-creative-at-visual-art critique,

Hi there:)
I like this drawing... It was fun to see how a bit of contrast really enhanced the whole thing!

First off- I love the hair. There is something about manga style hair that is just so fab.
I like the clothes too... they coulduse a touch more of detailing but they're interesting and creative.
The chin- yeah, it's a bit off center. It would look better shifted a tad to the right.

That's all! Thanks for sharing!

First of all I would like to say that i could not put much details on the hands because the real picture from which I was looking and drawing was really very small and i could barely make out the nails. and as for his eye, he was closing it because light was falling in it. and as for the eye color, well, it is a painted-with-black-only drawing because of which its color is black. and yeah the chin I know it looks terrible but i only noticed it after I finished painting it!
