I really like this. I especially enjoy what you've done with the pose. And the shoes are pretty cool!

The pose is off a bit, but I do like how loose it came out. Thank you for noticing the shoes..those took me almost as long as the rest of it to get looking the way I wanted them to. I'm really proud of the face, it came out better than I had hoped.

As for the pose, if he were leaning on the pole I think it would seem more natural. It's a good idea to experiment with curves/line of action when sketching, I think. But the looseness is nice and the effort shows.

And the facial details/expression are really nice.

Oh man, I didn't realise you'd already submitted this, I really appreciate this. Very careless of me and I shall fav this right away. It should also be pointed out that I can really see how much you've been learning about drawing practices because it really shows on this one.

Dude I know you have a lot of stuff going on. I'm just really glad you like it, and that stream was really fun. We need to hang out more...I know I can be distracted, please don't ever feel like you're bugging me, I just tend to get drawn into my own little world some times, it's good to break out of it now and then.

I like the facial expression /attitude. I see what you mean about the pose being a bit off (it's a problem I get whenever I draw a pose anything like this, with the feet /legs like that) but that's the only thing that really pops out to me. There's a pretty neat balance between "weight"/body and cartoon style. The shape of the shoes is right on, just like they tend to bend (shoes bend differently than body parts, and it's a difference that's reflected here, that's what I'm after).

Now, I will nitpick, and it's just because it's the kind of thing I like to get pointed out in my art. There's a small detail about his face (ghh I wish I could line it out in the picture) ...the outer-most outline on the far side of it. a line sloping more directly between the nose and his right eye might have worked better. To my eye, it sort of looks like a part of his face is missing.

...I can't help but wonder if you found me through Slain. :B

Yes, I found you through Slain. You're one of my oldest watches here, actually.

Also, feel free to upload and mark it up, hun. I REALLY appreciate the feedback.

Looking back on this

Wow have you improved so much in 9 months seeing the new one

Wow..it's been that long, huh? x_x I mean hells bells it's July again. Thanks, Kyan...it really means a lot, and I love how much it made his day.

I can't wait to see where I go from here.

I kinda feel like we've both come far. You've gotten SO much better.
