You are a wonderful artist. I read in your profile that you are self-taught. That is a great inspiration. I am also teaching myself to draw, but I have only been at it for a year now. I have a long way to go, but at least I now know it is possible to get good without formal instruction.
Keep up the fantastic work!

Thank you for looking at my work and the positive comments.
I'm glad you looked at the profile, it's my hope that I can inspire others and in turn, have them inspire me.
I used to look at art the wrong way, I think. I was too selfish.
I think the point to my art is that maybe someone, somewhere will see something and it will give them the feeling I got when I first saw a comic book and make them want to try their hand at drawing.
My advice is to look around online and in bookstores and find an artist you like, then find out who inspired them and backtrack to find out what books they read.
In my case, I like Jim Lee and I backtracked to learn he developed his figure drawing by looking at art books by George Bridgman. You'll develop your own style just because you are you, but reading art books will help you lay a good foundation.
Good luck and remember to keep practicing.
