Great job on the cammo!
a few things...one is the size of certain body parts compared to others. The lower body would be larger than the torso. The arms are okay the way they are because of the large build and robotic arms he has. Another thing is his neck shoulders and upper chest seem to be connected. I didnt get sizing things right for a long time and i still have some trouble with it every once in a while. One other thing i noticced was the head. its not bad but what i would reccomend is drawing the head and then adding the mask/hat /glass or whatever you have on your char..other than that its pretty good!

about it seeming to be worse...i do that too but i usually find out its not that bad and really its one small mistake that causes it so dont worry.

I really like the way to managed to work through the cammo pattern!!!

Feet are reeeeally tricky, but the best way to figure them out is to *drumroll* draw shoes. Just set the boogers in front of you and draw them. Sure, it doesn't really work all that great for bare feet, but it still gives you the basic idea of what a foot does from various angles.

Im hoping I can trust myself enough to draw his Electric Aura on his fists...right now though, I am sticking to the basics.

the picture came out pretty good the only thing I suggest is to align the abs so they can be even. instead of drawing the abs like seperate circles. try drawing a big upside down u but very lightly and then add the circles for the abs

From looking at it I think

Cons :
the eyes needed pupils
the neck cover lacked detail it looked very blan
eyebrows WHERE are your eyebrows?!?!?!?
guessing your scrapper is shirtless move up the abs some and get rid of that weird boomerang thing on his chest

Pros :
Camo pants look nice
Robotic details were done nicely
shoes were draw nicely

I have to say: I'm so glad to see a 12-year-old that can write properly. I'll give your pic a look when I get a chance!

Hey, you're on the road to improvement already!

If the eyes are glowing, I'd reccomend sketching a *very light* glowing effect around each eye. Be careful and light with this, as erasing it could be tricky if you mess up. If you don't want to risk it, it'd probably be better to save the quality of your pic and not start it. Perhaps get a scrap sheet of paper first and practice eyes and their glows before starting on this one?

Also, here's a tip to clean up your pics: If you're opening your pics up in Photoshop after you scan them, go to Edit at the top, then Adjust > Levels. Play around with the three sliders at the bottom, and some of the lighter smudges should disappear with some tweaking. Usually taking the right-most slider and dragging it slightly to the left will do the trick. I use this all the time because I write/draw with a pencil with my knuckles against the paper.

Whenever I'm done with a piece, I'm "Blackhand."

Most definitely! I work at a middle school, and as the counselor, a lot of the confiscated notes end up on my desk. And it takes a lot of decoding to figure out the spelling and grammer (without even starting on the acronyms. COX actually helps my job in that case. ). I mean, Back Alley, you're actually using full words! Not to mention proper spelling, grammer, and logic. Kudos to you, your parents, and your school!

<climbs off soapbox>

Anyway, back to the art. If you still want characters to draw, I've got two in my signature you can practice on.
Keep up the good work!
