Hello there one and all viewing this topic!
I changed my lead thickness this morning from .7mm to .5mm and did a quick sketch to try it out. I personally like the sketch and was wondering what I could do to make it even better for inking and coloring.
Thus, give me pointers on it, critiques and maybe even some redlining?

Thanks. :3

What throws me off a little with this picture is the pose. I think its one of those moments where you have to try out what he is doing to see if you can also do the same pose. It looks more like he is in the middle of a step, because he is off balance. Leaning over like that he would have to counterbalance his shoulders by moving out his arm more (or his leg more, or both)

Your proportions are quite nicely done, try checking out some stuff on form, to really get your character in a 3D form. Especially with things like clothes, remember to embellish the parts of the form we can't see, just to indicate they are there.

hope that helps a bit. It's lookin' good!
