Just wanted to post a new inked page I've done just to get some critiques. All mine so I’m sure you can see the amateur mistakes in the drawing and in the inking. Still reading some books here and learning more but books can only get you so far.
Let me know what you think.
The inking is solid but I can't understand whats happening in the last two panels.
The story telling is very hard to follow, i honestly can't tell what's happening! having said that i like your style! its quirky but nice! the thing that would really improve this piece is line weight. nearly everything on the page has the same line weight which makes them all seem equal distance from the viewer making the page feel very flat! also you need to work on rendering techniques to transition from shadow to un-shadowed area's as at the moment only having solid blacks everywhere make certain areas hard to read such as his neck and torso in the bottom right. the figure on the bottom left is really nice! especially love his leg. http://timtownsend.deviantart.com/ check out tim townsend on deviantart.com, some of his inks over bachalo use heavy blacks in a similar way to what you have here but with line weights and transitions from light to dark! check him out, i think he even has some step-by-step stuff on there! keep posting! looking forward to more!
That is some good crits on this piece really appreciate the comments. I’ll try to watch my line weights in the next piece. I think because I kind of dabble in all 3 steps (pencil ink and color) I might have gotten ahead of myself by thinking the separation would be handled in the color stage. Sounds like I need to treat each piece as a standalone so that people understand what’s happening and other can color should I get someone to do it. Again thanksand I'll keep working it.

i'm a firm believer that if you're doing all three stages you should finish each part as much as you can. try and imagine being an inker and getting pencils where the guy is like "yeah..i was in a hurry..so..can you make this look better?" and the same with being a colourist and getting inks where all the work is left up to you? how pissed off would you be? no matter how good you are at all three you'll be better at one than the rest so you might as well finish all three aspects! looking forward to more work from you!
