This is my first atempt at a drawing like this one(i.e. humanoid computerized, colourized drawing, err mouseing, or whatever. Anyway I'm looking for critique, thanks for any comments.

i would say that the anatomy of the character is off. Search the refrence section for images which would match what you are looking for. Also value wise there is not enough contrast within your piece. The bg i would 1st start with a neutral tone to work form not white or black. Also if you plan to move forward digital art wise invest in a tablet from wither wacom or another company...its pressure sensitive and is better and more natural then using a mouse... :D

Thanks for the feedback,
I agree I need a wacom, but untill I can save a few dollars up I'm afraid I'm stuck with the mouse.

then i think maybe stick to media besides digital and build up skills that you will need while working in digital media..take up soem art classes or follow some tutorials or buy some books...

I agree, put down the mouse for a while and pick up a pen or pencil. I need to heed my own words to be sure, but nonetheless what little skill I have will always come from a strong foundation in traditional media.
