    nel2012 this is very good work. The digital work is EXCELLENT. You are very accomplished in this area.

    The initial drawing however do have some issues. Theses are mainly in the proportions and anatomy of the figures. From looking at your work I would hazard a guess that your initial figure construction is off.

    In fact, for many of these, it appears as though you are not doing much if any figure construction before adding the clothes ( hence the radically long necks, legs and hips that don't connect properly with the torso etc). Also the foreshortening on the arms of your figures tends to be hit or miss with the result that often they appear to short.

    With a little work ( studying anatomy and more figure drawing) I'm certain that you can overcome these small issues and improve you work quite a bit more - The skill is clearly apparent.

    I would suggest drawing out the figures first, to get the construction and proportions to look right, and then adding the costumes etc after that has been accomplished.

    My apologies If this is unwanted critique. It's just that you obviously enjoy what you do and I get the feeling that you want to be the best you can be at it So I thought I tell you what I see as areas where you could stretch yourself a bit.

    If this post in anyway offends you ( I know this is a fan site not an art critique site) I apologize and you are (as everyone is) absolutely entitled to ignore everything I've written here.

    Just to be fair, As you have shown your work feel free to have a look at some of mine, if you want. Some of it may be found at http://chas.portfoliobox.me.

    Please don't let anything I've written discourage you in anyway. If you ignore everything I've said your work is still very good - as evidenced by all of the comments here and you should feel proud of it.

    I really REALLY apreciatte THIS kind of feedback. Do not apologize, please! . Actually this is something I always wanted to hear (or read) about my drawings , because I tell you, I never studied drawing or illustration. NEVER. All I learn since I was little was by my own. Seeing the series on tv first, was the only thing I had. Then while growing up, I was able to find some source material. Even the use of photoshop in the last decade I learn it by myself, with tutorials, then the practice at work (I am a graphic designer) helped me a bit more. Sometimes , and is my biggest problem, I tend to draw too fast, because I am always in a lack of time. So I do not concentrate much in measures, proportions, or while coloring, the shades , as an example. I simply DRAW, freely, `know what I mean? ^^ so I thank you so much your words and I will take a look at your site! see you :)
