So this is my first ever piece of artwork I've uploaded anywhere. Ever. Don't y'all just feel special for being here?

I don't know much about this guy, besides he's the first character I've ever drawn completely out of my own head. Pretty much all of my other drawings to date have been almost line-for-line copies of other artist's work that I admire. I've found it's A LOT harder to draw something when you have no direct reference. This guy took me FOREVER. (About 2 hours.) But in the end I'm pretty proud of him, even if he is a little bland and generic.

Apologies for the crappy digital photo of notepad paper, but I work with what I've got. I'm ALWAYS open to constructive criticism, so if you've got any hints or pointers, send them my way. Thanks for taking the time to check my art out!
