I came up with a name for him: Ultimus.

pretty awesome, huh?

Am I the only one who thought it was a she.

I think you switched your left and right.


Anyway, he is a sort of a cyborg. Half of his arm is robotic. His right arm is just doing one of those two finger up poses (or whatever you call it). Anyway, Im only 13, so I was just wondering what people thought of it.

It isn't bad 
But he seems a little too short. I like his face style though. How old are you?

I am 13. I am just trying to get better by practicing, and this was one of my better drawings. I've got tons of them

I agree, but the drawing is still good 

I honestly have never noticed that   
This is supposed to be a scaled drawing though.

Children, what is this guy doing? All he has to do is put down his pointer finger...

No

There are some anatomical problems you need to try and work out, but the idea is wonderful, and overall I do like the drawing.

You know what? There should be a contest on Scratch where users get to upload drawings of a character they made up and a set of judges (the Scratch Team) will choose the three that look the best. Also, to make it all fair, it will be hand-drawn and on paper because not everyone knows how to draw good on the computer. Unless, of course, you have something like Wacom Bamboo Tablet.    BTW, nice drawing, but I thought it was a girl at first. 

Nice job. I like the the facial expression. The head area looks very good. I would suggest you work on arm and hand positioning. How I do that is by using a manikin, making large, gestural shapes. That means you're using your entire arm to make strokes. Here's a little tutorial on that, you don't have to use it but it can probably explain it better than I can. It's a technique used in figure drawing, which is really helpful to learn no matter what genre you're focused in, even manga.

If you want to get more feedback from people online, I'd suggest you post to Deviantart.com. It's an artist's website that's absolutely wonderful! I use it, this is my page. You can submit your stuff and put it in different groups that might focus on your interest.

Another thing I do to work on my style is trying to mimic an artist I really like. I do this with Humon, an epic cartoonist! Check out here page, humon.deviantart.com

Sorry to sound like a walking advertisement, but I think you'll really like deviantart and be able to get some great feedback! You have a nice style and continue that! Don't be afraid to branch out from manga and embrace whatever style comes. You can always learn more and improve upon what you have.

  Keep drawing!

Thanks a lot! I never thought of Devian Art. I think I'll make an account soon! Thanks
