After scraping enough money together (hey, 15 year olds don't make that much!), I finally bought a Wacom tablet (A5 intuos)

Anyway, here's the my first digital pic I actually bothered long enough with to finish.

Any crits?

gotta say that this is quite good for a 15 year old.

maybe his nose and ears are a bit weird.

Wow 15 years old...that is very good ,my art looked like shit when I was 15. Hey that is that guy from Dragonball right...good work!

Nice work, I like it. You should work on the left ear, I'm not sure about the perspective.

www.wacom.com
on the US site you can find some price lists, on the europe-site i dont think you will find price lists

Wow... Good thing I decided to check the thread another time

Yup, it's the guy from DBZ (Piccolo)
Uhm, would that be his left ear, or the ear you see to the left?

Sorry, ain't me

Any more crits?

Very nice, Cougar. Is this Piccolo's school picture? ...cause he looks really young and the angle of the head is similar to a school portrait

I see you've completly covered the original linework and the shading is crisp! Excellent! You've also captured the tricky DBZ facial proportions, bonus points for that.

WOW, great work Cougar!!!

I really like the way you've finished your project! (I have to tell you guys I saw some beta-versions of this piece of art and I must say he's learning FAST)

Great work, keep it up!

ps. Nice of you to follow my advice on the background!

Cool, but his nose looks 2D and I'd add some texture to his face. He's smooth.

Here's something I did when I was 15

I know I know it's unproportional, but hey!

If the link doesn't work here he is... http://www.majik3d.org/~kaput/2d/2dd5.jpg

I think it is pretty cool...looks like the dbz episode where Picoro not picollo has that flash back where goku kicks is arse, his left ear is definaetly pretty ummm messed up looking...
