(not sure if this the right section if not ,,,,)

im 16 and i started focusing drawing "serious" 6 months ago because i'm going to study "interactive media design" (not sure if its the proper translation from dutch)

i made some drawings before and now i decided to upload some, because i need some feedback or tips, my mom says that everything i draw is great. (yeah right -.-) and I need some professional opinions.

A mod will need to move this, but this goes into the "critique" forum :)

First: Resize your picture, I can't even see most of it because it stretches off my screen. When putting art on the web, be sure to change the size so it is at max 1000 pixels across at 72dpi. A better size is something like 600 x 800 or smaller. You can use Photoshop or a free program like GIMP to do this.

Second: either start a critique thread for this, or start a sketchbook in the sketchbook forum (or both). People can give you feedback and tips as you progress. After awhile, you might try entering the Daily Sketch Group challenges, or the Character/Environment of the week, for more practice.
