Well, I know I should have posted these with the others, but I want special critiques on these lol

First is "Wish for a Star and I'll get it for you", which is more an idea than a drawing...mostly because that was the last thing my ex girlfriend asked me

Second is "Scan 014" which is an actual page of my comic, BUT this one is special since it was inked completely with a ball pen and didn't clean it up with Photoshop before posting it here.

Third is "Scan 005"....I should have shown this before "Scan 0014"...anyways! this is another drawing I want you to critique!

Oh don't be so harsh on yourself, they are all very lovely.
Your lineart is very thick and dynamic, I like it when anime/manga artists use more dynamic lineart than just thin shoujo lines all the time. XD However, I can see that it's not consistent the whole way through. Try drawing your lines with a single stroke instead of using multiple strokes (for example, the girl's right puffy arm sleeve in Scan 014 clearly has at least 3 lines). You look like you did the lineart on these on a digital program, but I highly recommend practicing drawing lineart with traditional mediums. You can learn to draw with a single stroke just by a simple ball point pen.

There's not much I can say about the first one (the colored one), and I think it's beautiful. Sorry if it brings up bad memories. XP

I really love your lineart skills. Envy whee
I think in the coloured pic it would be nice to have some more lighting on the boy especially on his hair and the rope because of the star.
It's really nice the way it is though. =3
