Don't forget to use the white of the paper for the bright spots when doing marker renderings, don't have to paint the whole page...
You're heading the right direction, keep at it, do look a lot at anatomy in other pictures, reference photos etc. The boxers trousers look like a skirt IMO. And you might want to show a little of the boxers elbow or even enlarge the stretched out fist more for a perspective effect. Do practice on perspective, too.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, I'm sorta unsatisfied w/ the boxer, his anatomy is way off I know, but I guess that sorta added to some sort of cartoon look, which is more of what I was goin for. Heh, the shorts are almost together, I wanted to make them baggy, but I guess I didn't define them well enough. And I need a lot of work on perspective, I couldn't get the foreshortening right and didn't know if the arm would show at all since his glove is so big.

Thanks for the advice, definately will keep in mind usin the white space as bright spots.

nice style i like the idea of the second one. I think with some reference material might help, but that could be a really cool scene. so definately keep working on it...

I'm curious to know what markers you are using...? I've never had a need to do marker work, but I think it could come useful if I knew which one's are the cool ones that can fade and have different shades and so on...

ImageOmega,

I took a jab (get it jab) at your boxer drawing. I had a lot of the same challenges you had with the arm coming at you.
I think showing a little more arm made the drawing read better. I also think you needed to make the glove coming at
you larger to give it some depth. One thing they always tell us in art class is draw through the form, which means
draw the legs and the arm even if there blocked by the shorts or the glove. Then go back in and clean up the drawing
when your done. I like the way you put your guy on his toes, nice touch. I think a good lesson for both of us is to
look at some reference photos or look in a mirror (you're the best model you'll ever have). I hope this helps a little.
