We had a recent art project where we were experimenting with brush inking, and this idea popped into my head almost immediately. There's plenty of stuff I'd love to fix, but controlling an inking brush is harder than you'd expect, hopefully I'll get some more practice later.

split face pictures always look bad (imo) no mater how good you are... but if u separate them this looks vary good.

Well, I had to fill the page somehow, and I felt that just doing one character would be kind of boring. Thank you for the feedback though!

I got nothing :/

The lines are clutter around and I can't make out anything that I think is particularly bad or good. It does look very detailed though.

The text is hard to read and I would recommend making white space around the letters so that it's easier to make out what each letter is

Also, I noticed your thumb on the right side. How did you take such a good picture of your drawing? I'm always trying to take good pictures of my drawings so I can digitize them without using a scanner, but they always end up with a zone shaded differently than the rest (from the lighting around the drawing, not from the drawing itself). How did you take a picture that came out some uniformly shaded?

Yeah, my art teacher does critiques on every single one of our works and we talked over most of this stuff. It was my first time using brush pen, so I got overzealous and tried to put in too much detail (it was really fun!), when I should have left a lot more white. That also fed into accidentally putting some of the character or background behind the lettering instead of leaving it white, which was definitely a huge mistake on my part.

Well, scanners tend to come number one for me when it comes to uploading pieces, but when I want to get something up real quick I just use my iPhone, the cameras on them are actually quite good. Just taking a picture of something in general though, if you don't want the glare that occurs when you have overhead lighting in some cases, I learned that holding the picture up so it's flat out in front of you instead of laying down on a flat surface such as a table yields the best results. You just have to experiment based on the environment you're in.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that next time
