In spare time (and to keep what little sanity I still possess) I've taken to drawing random stuff in my journal. I've posted the best stuff at a webshots page (http://community.webshots.com/user/deltatango95) and I would absolutely love it if people would take a look at some of it and let me know what you think. Honesty is always appreciated; don't worry, my skin's pretty think, I can take it. Thanks a lot.
P.S.- For all that it's worth they're all in chronological order (with the exception of the self-portrait)

The self-portrait didn't have much depth, but for the most part I like em.. especially the piano one and the clock. Very very nice.

I'd like to critique, but I don't know which to talk about. Here are a few general things:
- Unless you really like pens, try using a pencil - that way, you can practice drawing in shadows and things will look more realistic. Lines will go down smoother, and when you want to make a whole area dark, it will be easier to make it the same shade. No joke.
- Don't draw on lined paper! Unless you are in school and there is nothing else, though, because drawing is better than not drawing. Get a sketchbook without lines if you have a chance! It is really cool that your drawings have become part of your journal, but you should give them their own special book because they deserve it.
I really dig the bottom part of "A Million Miles Away," it looks like you spent a while on it - something I'm incapable of doing. That's my favorite. The wall looks great. I also like the clock and the piano a lot, like RollofDimes. You should work on studying the human form - look at the way different people are shaped, because that'll help you draw people. Keep drawing!

Ok, so I've gotten with the unlined paper thing (thanks for that!) and started using pencils. There's a few new one posted with these media. Check 'em out, let me know what you think.
