OKAY shot of vodka has been drunk(called Finlandia coincidentally) I will commence assessing your works

Drew this some time ago. September, I think. Drawn with pencil, then scanned into my laptop, which explains the smudges of lead and sketching.
You bean, this isn't bad. But your skills are far too rough, just like your lines! Minimalize the number of strokes it takes you to draw something; from simple shapes such as squares to complex ones such as facial features or clothes. If you have trouble getting the proper shape and have to make several strokes just to see what seems best, make sure you make them soft so you can erase them later and finish it off with a minimal amount of strokes.
Take a look at, for example, fold on Kud's hat. I took you at least seven strokes to make that line or at least went over it several times, not to mention you did so quite roughly. You should be able to do it in two, or maybe even one if you can manage it. If it looks weird, instead of going over it repeatedly until it looks fine, erase it entirely and try again. Again, do so gently otherwise there'll be marks left. Also, scanners typically pick up smudges, even when you draw neatly. Why? Well, the part of your hand that rests on the paper as you draw (the hand holding the pencil) typically picks up graphite/lead as it drags itself across the paper. As it rubs itself on the paper, it creates smudges. Well damn.
On that note, I've seen Japanese artists prevent this (on YouTube) by placing a folded paper beneath their drawing hand, to reduce any possible smudging. Just a little tip out there :I
Stroke work aside you seem to be in a good path (though if you're anything like me you'll need to look at anatomy later on)

You nigger, you know how much that creeps me out. I mean, he looks like he came from a Lord of the Rings movie or something; stop messing around with Archer already!
Anyway uh... uhm that's pretty surreal actually. Strange and familiar, as if it came from a dream. The dark, cold background contrasted by that white maiden catches the eye quite well, not to say anything about the orange moon.
You're gay

finish the lineart~
Orz i am suck drawing BG. QwQ must practice
sorry for the long post LOL
It's alright, I've seen/created much longer/am doing it right now
Seems fine, though I wouldn't worry much about the BG. I think her palm is ing the wrong part of the face with that pose. Her hand should be ing the cheek, in other words the palm must be at around mouth/jaw level, not eye level. If that is the case, her palm should also be positioned horizontally, so as to properly counteract the vertical force of gravity acting on the head. The hand should be more like this: ---- and less like this \ . Not entirely horizontal though! Just turned a bit counterclockwise.
UNLESS she is just like brushing away her hair or something in which case ignore this '~'

They say that if we lived closer (like, real goddamn close) to the galactic center, the sky would look much like this, due to the massive amount of stars giving us light. We'd be in perpetual daylight.
Anyway uh, I don't have much to say--looks real nice. I can still see some little white remains left from cropping your own picture though.
K I'm done
I'll contribute there
