Well this is just as the title says, some line art practice. I hate that I messed up the facce, as this was a pretty good job for me, heh. I wish I could color it, but don't have a program, and with the face like that it's really not worth it. Just thought I would post for crits and comments, which are more than welcome;)

It's posted as a link because it loads up uber-massive, I've yet to shrink it down, but will soon. Lemme know what you think

First of all a pair of questions: what do you use to ink it, rotring? and how much big is the pic?
Well, I think thatīs not bad, but you can improve it. Here I add a link to a pic drawn by me, cartoon style, line art. Note that in some places the line goes thicker, like in the jaw or the smile: it helps to see the diferent parts of the pic and also prevent the pic to look homogeneous.
Although youīre going to color it, itīs a good idea to put some black spaces to do a better composition.
I hope I helped you :)

eh I just used a normal pen to ink it, ballpoint I do believe. I could have done more, was just quick. I see what you are saying about the varying line thickness, for composition. I might go back and add the black as you suggested. Thanks for your help:D

In addition to Asmodeus' response use pens of different thicknesses to get varying lineweight. Get some profile lines in. I use 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 pics to ink. I suggest "Microns," they are an excellent brand for this type of task.
