either way, i think it came out good!

This is very awesome. And I really don't se much of an anatomy problem. The way the angle is placed it creates a fish-eye effect, so even if you took a photo to see what was off about this pic, you may find that the photo looks very similar.

But if you do want to test your pic and clean up any potential mistakes, just look at it in a mirror. Anything that isn't proportionally correct will appear very evident. It's a solid method that I started to use recently. You can really see where your weak points are when you look at its reflection.

wow, that's a cool idea! maybe if i look at MYSELF in a mirror i will see my anatomical weak points!!! haha

seriously, though, thanks for the tip. i'm going to try it right effing now.

well, the first step, i guess, is i make sure my pencils are super tight...
then i block in the blacks with a flat brush and india ink, then i get a bit tighter and do the outlines with a smaller round brush, then i use a really small round brush to do the tight details.
finally, i use a ultra-fine pen to do the really small stuff, but i'm trying to use that as little as possible, because i like the quality of the line with the brush much more. i am just working to gain as much control with a brush as i have with a pen. the first piece i did with a brush was the two-face one.

here's a pic of fantastic 4's the thing:

Thanks for the info. I am starting to learn how to draw in the same type of style and just wanted to know. Do you think it could be done on like photoshop or paint

i guess you could do stuff on photoshop. there are a few guys working that don't ink their work, i think...but i love it. i wouldn't have it any other way...
i guess i'm just a traditionalist....

that nightcrawler looks like a step away from your regular style (which is usually more cartoony). looks really sharp.
