Hey man, thank you so much for the feedback!

@fiodestromus:

Hey man, thanks a lot, Uniqueness is something that every artists wants to achieve, thank you so much!

Thanks mat, will do :)

Thank you for you feedback, but I'm just curious, I kind of liked how that expression came out, I think it's the thing that is really different from the other submission I've seen, and I guess I like that. What would you change on it. I really appreciate your critique friend :)

Thanks a lot!

Glad you do :)

Thanks a lot

I agree, that's one of the cool things about this contests haha

Wow, thank you so much, really appreciated :D

1) hahaha doubt that, but thanks a lot friend

2) thanks again :)

3) Well,Practice is the main thing, the most important. But I do have some more advises like trying to do some live-drawing, drawing stuff you see, drawing yourself in the mirror. Observing A LOT human anatomy. Practice! Taking an art course will help for sure. I graduated in Design, and it helped me to grow as an artist, even though it is mainly computer classes, but I learned with some artists I found in the way, all experience is part of the learning process!Practice! Try to do as much sequential work as you can. Oh did I mention practice? ;)

4) Sure, mostly for buildings and perspective purposes.

1) I was being honest, the only artist i liked was Mike Deodato Jr, and you've defo surpassed him.

2) You're welcome :D

3) I'm terrible at observational drawings, especially the human anatomy. Guess i better go and find an Art class, im currently at college but im not studying art at all, so i have to find a private class. :( Guess practice makes perfect.

4) what about human anatomy?

5) you should make more and upload them, maybe you might think about making a tutorial one day? ;)

4) I use skeleton guidelines and basic shapes for sketching the figures yes, most times with a harder pencil before I get to the clean final pencils .

5) I´ll try, you can see some stuff on my blog like sketches and evolution gifs like:

@mikemaluk: Wow thats amazing! Big Sentry fan here if you can't tell lol and your drawing of him is one of the best I've ever seen. I honestly thought this was a real return of Sentry for a minute and my FIRST thought was I'm glad they've gotten such a good artist to do it. =D

Hey man, that´s one of the best comments I could have :D I wish someone at Marvel would read that hahaha thanks a lot :)

Thanks a lot friend!

@batkevin74 said:

@mikemaluk: Very nice work

Thanks a lot mate!

@Veshark said:

Wow, really fantastic stuff here! Particularly the coloring and the inking.

Out of curiosity, what sort of inks do you use? Classic india ink or pens of some sort?

In this case the inking was all done digitally. Used Photoshop, and a Wacom tablet. Thanks for your words dude!

@VinoVash1234 said:

@mikemaluk: First of.

1) you need to became an artist, work for marvel or DC or become a manga artist, put your talents to use.

2) Are you self taught?

3) You need to tell me how you do all that.

Thanks man, well:

1) I´m trying, I will if they´ll have me :D

2) Pretty much yes.

3) Practice drawing EVERY single day, that´s a start :)

@VinoVash1234 said:

@SoA said:

hey friend, not that I know of, this is just a fanart comic I´m making. Thanks for your comment :)

You can see some more pencilled pages on my blog: http://miguelmendoncacomics.blogspot.pt/

Freaking amazing. I have always liked to doodle and I fantasize about drawing comics but it is a grind. I think it's the repetition (?). Anyways: I am working on one now and the art to me is the most unpleasant part. Kudos!

Thank you so much for the kind words!

This is a fanart comic imagining a return for sentry.

I posted the pencils some time ago, you can see this pencils and some more on my blog: http://miguelmendoncacomics.blogspot.pt/2012/02/sentry-returns-comic.html

Tried to improve some stuff with the inking. Would be awesome to read your opinion before I color some of these!
