I really like the way you ink here -- or, at least, the way you transform it into something less boring than simple lines (eg. choice of off-white for a bg -- getting me all thinking 'country kitchen' or smth, though that may not be what you were going for).
stuff that immediately struck me as off was a little confusing bit with the hand on the pan -- there's a bit below the thumb that's not fully blocked in, so I was thinking for a minute there was wacky triple-jointed fingers going on. (That hand also appears to be smaller for some reason?) The pan itself also looks a li'l awkward -- non-solid the way it's sorta bent, and it's shiny for some reason?
otherwise though, really, dem inks and dat way you differentiate marking from line. I'm likin' it.

Thank you Moshpit.
You are indeed correct, I can't draw hands very well yet and I had alot of trouble with it on the pan -_- I wanted her to hold it as if all the fingers were below curled around to the other side. But as you said it does look odd. I do have a tendancy to draw different sized hands, it's really bad of my and it's something I hope to rectafy in the future. Any tips are more than welcome if you have any ^^
I tend to add a shine to things, just to make it look metallic. It may not have been a right place or time to put it.
At the moment I'm concentrating on speed and as well as quality. It's my manga artist tendancy to just leave little details like that and just concerntrate on getting the most important things done (not a good thing when it comes to one pieces). I also find that if I get stuck on something I can get discouraged from doing it, either that or I'm just lazy >.>
Thank you for telling me this, I appreciate all the info. I don't believe I am at all perfect and I can't see all my wrongs. So it really helps when you tell me ^^

> hands, [...] Any tips are more than welcome if you have any ^^
if you already know you have a habit of doing it fixing it should be simple -- compare the hands! accounting for perspective, just take a ruler or piece of string or something and make sure nothing's too horribly out of whack

I was curious if they actually made pans that shiny (apparently I've always worked with crappy antiques), and they do ... but there's no light source under it to make a flare like that. At any rate, fair 'nuff, it gets across the symbol 'hey something shiny maybe metal here' if nothing else.
speed is good! preferable to OCDly planning everything out, actually, but you have to walk before you run. I dunno anyone who isn't frustrated when they can't get something to look right. how you respond to the frustration is the important part -- take the offending object out of the composition? replace it? half-ass it?
when I'm not feeling lazy, like you say, I try to take the frustration of being stuck as a signal I need to put it down, clear my mind a li'l (ward off the discouragement + get less sick of looking at it), then come back and drill into that one part that's bothering me over a couple pages of sketches 'til I can get it acceptable, or at least figure out why it looks 'wrong'. Then you've avoided the flaw in the final piece and learned a procedure that you can repeat later with considerably less effort. You follow?
... tl;dr cutlery giving you a hard time? draw a few pages of cutlery! if nothing else you'll feel better scratching out curses next to the sketches
(aside: don't fall behind a style or in your words, a tendency as an excuse for speeding through things. I dont want to repeat the 'walk before run' analogy but I can't think of a better one ATM. The pan is a kinda important compositional element here, no reason to skirt around it. :B)
also, it's no prob, I just kinda wander around FA doing this :>

Thank you so much for the info ^^
There are alot of stuff that I would liked to have done better with the image, but I kinda setted a time limit that I can spend on each pic. I would like to be fair with all the people that I do a pic for.
All in all, what ever is giving you trouble, drawing it constantly will definately help you without a doubt. But to be honest, I rather draw a few pages of a short manga than cutlery, as it's the main thing that I believe I truely need help with at the mo -_- Maybe a short manga story of cutlery lol
Regardless you draw fast or slow, you'll always learn new techniques, but for the line of work I want to get into, speed is an important key ;_;
Though the pan was quite important, I spent most of the time on the character itself. I had alot of problem figuring out how the person wanted the character and how to best portray hir. It was really important that the person liked the character, I didn't want to get that wrong...
