What are you talking about Deathscythe? Those were awesome, especially Kagura. You really should have more faith in your own skills

You can say that if you want, but I personally really like your art... Especially your masterfull shading.

Yeah, I'm down with modesty and all Death, but there's no denying you've improved. Those are some really nice works. Great way to start drawing again, keep it up ^_^

I will admit that I have improved, but I'm still just ok nothing special.

Also... I'm masterful at shading??

Very awesome, Death. You're so much better at coloring than I am.

you should try to vary the linewidth to give a non plain effect.

The drawing looks awesome.

Figuring out a way that line thickness would look good... well, here's some tips that might help you.

-Thick lines for close up, thin lines for far away (Our at least outlining something with slightly thicker or more detailed lines when it's supposed to be close up, and contrasting that with thin lines detailing something far away)

-Using line width to describe an object.. i.e. Where you're drawing a leg, maybe you thicken the line slightly around where it bulges out into a calve, then thin it some as you go in towards the ankle.

I'd suggest experimenting one day with multiple thickness ink pens to figure out your own way. Or..or buy that one issue of 'How to be a Manga Artist!' that AP published a while back, where Fred Perry showed how he inked sketches... that...was awesome...

well I don't ink with a pen, so I'll have to figure out something else. But thanks for the help anyway Zack, I'm sure it'll help as I experiment
