Good stuff. The characters at the top are great. I love vector. Keep practicing the realistic stuff. Draw observationally as much as possible and always measure measure measure. Watch the SVS video of Dave Malan. He's a master and you can utilize his techniques in any observational drawing you do. In your sketchy drawings I would say pay attention to shapes and proportions. Get those down before you get into detail. On your marker drawings ( I think it's marker) I really like the giraffe. I would say use more contrast in the linework. Thick to thin. Use the thick to emphasize any area you want to draw attention to. look at your favorite comic book artists to see how they construct a line. It's a simple thing but it can add so much to your style and the quality of your work. Another good resource to see experts in line are the really good tattoo artists out there. Look up "amazing linework" on pinterest and you'll see some really well executed line.

Anyway, hope that helps a little.

great creations! I think your Ninja needs a little work on the legs, as in example the feet are ar bit turned to much from the body. maybe a push on the shadows. but as you've finished the design, try and use some colors, it will be fun! Hope it helps a bit. good luck!

I really like the drama between really thick and thin line you did. It's great!

looks great! I would watch out for your white line around the box on the first image, I think the line need to define the shape of the box a bit better, maybe another white line between the fold and the flap of the box. I see a word means Death lol, interesting! keep us posted

Thanks for the comment! That is good advice too, I will see if I can go in and correct it. And yes, I am not fluent in Japanese but you are correct.
