I've always said that my drawings are crappy. Now, here's proof. It's a character form my comic series "the project". Notice the evil western drawing style.

you're lucky. I can't draw to save to save my life. I can't even draw that!! I'm so ashamed.

Are you perhaps refering to the yellow skin?

Seriously though, i like it. Simple, yet it works well.

it isn't that bad

It looks cool. I like the way it looks as a character, in a rather minimalist style. ^^ Cool character! So Naomi's her name?

A little jagged, you should try using more lines to give rounded appearances.

Let me give you some worldly advice from a fellow artist before you absolutely send yourself to a psychiatrist over you "bad drawing skills". Firstly, having a style is better than no style and you're devoloping your own style which is a very good thing and a persons' own style takes a while to develope (look at any comic or manga artist and you can see them getting better even years after they establish themselves as a professional). What's so good about drawing cartoony characters? You'll have a higher chance of getting a good artistic job out there in the world than someone who draws like me (it's true, at least in Australia anyway).

And the way you're drawing overall especially the hands and faces is very good (a style) and it is unique which is what makes a style, a style. Don't get depressed or even stop drawing, work on your syle and don't try to draw too realisitcly (well of course you can, but always know how to draw cartoony, it is a huge asset in any artists'career). Take trigun for instance, what makes half that show funny? The faces he puts on when he's in trouble or being an idiot!

Anyway, I hope that hasn't been too long to read and don't stop!

I'm typing up tips for my website for people who need help so I'll let you all know when I do a fair bit!

And of course, plese keep posting your stuff, you're doing fine!
