It's a new style for me. It was really fun to draw also! It took 45 minutes in Photoshop 7.
Please give comments, I'm still learning :P

Try and study faces, I guess. Look at some anatomy books, and draw skulls, then muscles etc. After that, then try and do some self portraits. I'm sure that you'll see tremendous inprovments.

Aside from that, try and use a larger brush. The small, scribbly lines don't look good unless used properly.

I love the pallette you've used...very moody.

I agree that a smaller brush is more suited for detail though.

Nice pic.

I can use smaller brushes. This is my first time doing this kind of style.

So drawing skulls, huh? I can do that. I've started a daily sketch book, so why not?
Any other comments would be appreciated! :)
