My very first complete digital painting. I'm so proud...
It was done in Photoshop with a mouse. (uninthusiastic) yay... Can't wait until I get enough cash for a Wacom. Anyway, here it is, in all it's glory.

Please critique and comment to your heart's desire!

Drawing with a mouse is kinda like drawing with a bar of soap. Good effort. Keep stroking.

Well, i think this one deserves to go up again...

I like it, nice. I've never really tried to draw with a mouse. Well, actually I tried 15 years ago or something on the Commodore 64, but I thought it sucked, and got back at using the joystick... (I hope I'll never see anything of that work ever again) I think it's very hard. My critics goes to the eye, his eyeball is one it's way out of the skull. I'd go for a more relaxed eye..

Looks better than most people that first started painting with a mouse.

I know it's difficult and takes alot of time, but if it's possible, try to add some more details and coloring to the background.That would make the picture more interesting.

YOU NEED TO SHADE THE KNUCKLES ON THE RIGHT HAND MORE....BUT GOOD JOB!

IT'S CONSIDERED IMPOLITE TO WRITE IN ALL-CAPS SHIJIMA! Oops, was I shouting?

KroM, I like your work here, especially for your first completed piece. Very well done, but I agree with the previous crits and would suggest you continue to add detail. Oh, and I too use a mouse and hate it. But soon I'll have a tablet... hopefully.

It's the artist again, I had a question or two, hoping you experienced folk could help me out.

I want to sharpen this pic up and add more details, but I'm not exactly sure how I can do that. I want to fix the background too, but I'm not all that great with backgrounds. So, please give me all of your expert advice.
