That's, I'm starting my manga.

I've received critics from many people, both good and bad, and some where from actual professionals in the field. Those people were helpful. You're condescending.

@Jean Rivera Nailed it.

I, for one, think @Dalton is right. You can't keep being touchy about every single critique, if anything be a man, take it, and use it to improve. If you want to go pro you need to draw backgrounds like it or not, you think that an editor would invest himself in a half assed artist that stops at "I'm not good at it"??? that's bullshit. You always need to be harsh with yourself and strive to improve if you want to be a better artist. Now for me (Dalton was a sweetheart to you but I'm not the gentle type); -from a technical point of view your art lacks some flexibility, it's stiff, you need to practice your wrist's flexibility/movements. -Stop pressing so damn hard on your paper it makes marks. Get a different pencil for sketching (an H for example, HB and other greasy pencils are no good) or use a non-photo blue pencil so it goes away when you scan it and only the inking remains. -if you're planning on drawing a full manga do yourself a favor and get proper paper, i suggest deleter it's thick enough that you can ink/color and the fact that it has a scale helps alot; http://www.amazon.com/Deriita-2011032-Deleter-Comic-Paper/dp/B000RFQL88/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422252109&sr=8-1&keywords=deleter -stick to it no matter how lazy or hard it gets, if you start many projects but never finish any there's no point. Basically start acting like the 21yr old you are and work on it if you want to improve, being a whiny baby won't make you an artist. You should be glad that Dalton dude even bothers with you with that kind of attitude you have.

Listen, I'm not being touchy. I welcome critique, not attitude. As for your pieces of advice, I understand and I know that this is the way to go for pro 'CLAMP' level manga, but this is something I'm making as a pastime; A.K.A. it's for FUN. I'm not looking to have it all inked and super artsy and beautiful with a color covor and blablabla, and certainly not published (seriously, where did that even come from?). I know my limitations, and that's why I prefer sticking to something that I can do, am familiar with, and I think is nice, ergo why I'm insisting that it will be bare, and it's fine like that because I like it so. Plus I can't afford to spend any money on extra material. I only use a graffiti pen wish is what I use for all my drawings, and that's why it shows on the paper. I like using it because that's the pen I'm most used to, but it's true that it leaves a ton of marks once done. In the end, if you guys think I'm being lazy because I don't see the point of being extra finicky about my o so poor art (wish it is and I accept that fact), then so be it. In the end, I'm still getting it done. You honor me with your insults lords Dalton and lanalesty... jeez. Are you guys pro manga artist or something? because that's not what I'm aiming for, in case you hadn't understood that yet ¬¬

I just don't see the point in doing it if you're not gonna work on it 100% but that's just me. Also, nobody insulted you so stop being so damn sensitive.

Also, wth, did you ACTUALLY went to the trouble of checking my profile page just so that you'd know my age use the 'act your age' card??? That's some dedication! "Basically start acting like the 21yr old you are and work on it if you want to improve, being a whiny baby won't make you an artist." That, is an insult, good sir or madam. And I recall Dalton doing the same on his long post. And I am giving myself 100%, the thing is that what I'm trying to make is different that what you think I should be making.

what i think you should be doing is work harder aka giving 100% which you obv are not doing. And i didn't want to be too mean in case you we're a teenager and add to your insecurities, but you're a grown up and i decided some harsh critique wouldn't drive you to commit suicide. I looked at your art and gave critique because I am an artist it's what I do and I was harsh because your attitude towards @Dalton ticked me off. And if you think being called a whiny baby is an insult then you really are a whiny baby! now if you will excuse me i have said what i came here to say, if you have anymore questions feel free to add me to your friends list and i will gladly accept your invitation so we might discuss this via PM.
