Do you think it is interesting?
Please give me constructive critizism…
It has always been my greatest passion to draw a comic of my own, but I had to endure a lot of bad critizism and I am completely confused whether I have potential or not…every time I draw something now , I feel depressed because the idea of me not being good enough to become professional always hangs in my mind….maybe you could change that…please help me with this…

Well, people may have trouble with it because it’s so ‘grunge’ looking. The individuals in it aren’t pretty or healthy looking (the coloring is too pale, there’s very little shading on the skin as compared to the clothing) and the background is stark and not someplace anyone wants to be.
A LOT of perception is subconscious. If it looks like a crack house with zombies, it’ll come across as not something people want to spend a lot of time looking at.
Switching subject matter helps. As would using different angles (though the perspective is good and you have an eye for detail. Technically you don’t need to outline EVERYTHING (I’m especially thinking of the bars on the benches above the floor), we don’t see everything in life as an outline and it looks ‘odd’ when it’s there. It’s like not drawing outlines of lips but only suggesting them with shadow and color. In some ways the style you’re using is what can be called ‘coloring book’, where the design is all outlined in the same width pen and then colored in later. Varying the pen line thicknesses, and not doing ALL the outlines helps get rid of this look. It’s too severe right now to come across fluidly.
When the eye stops on each page and has to look at the entire drawing, it slows the focus of the story and the overall impact a reader gets. It’s fine for posters or individual pictures, but you’re doing a comic, you don’t want the eye to stop and stare and get away from what you’re trying to show.
I know you’re trying for ‘grim’ but the amount of gray in the image is distracting as well, if you added in some light buff/sepia color it would help a lot.
I’m taking it that the person on the right is the main character? We need to see their face better, especially the expression. The main character of a story should be easily understood by the reader, we need to identify with them as if it’s part of us there. Without seeing the expression in the eyes and such, you’re missing an opportunity to get us there.
Keep drawing, don’t let people get you down, but listen to what they say and what they’re not saying and see if it does apply to the work…or if they’re trying to say something that’s not getting across right, but can’t. If they point a finger at something you have to evaluate whether it’s a problem that needs to be fixed or if they’re not getting the message right. If they’re not getting the message, you’re not presenting it in the right way yet.
ANYONE can be professional. I’ve seen this style used in magazines like Too Much Coffee Man and other more underground magazines, as well as some local ones like Vital. But you’re still learning so don’t stress it!
Spider Man has made his way onto Broadway and is starring in the musical, “Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark Start.” The comic book superhero turned musical star will make his debut on February 19, 2010, and will feature music by Bono and The Edge. It is being directed by Julie Taymor who has also directed Broadway hit “The Lion King.” She has won two Tony Awards for her work, and was the first woman to win a Tony Award for directing “The Lion King.” The Broadway musical will be an origin story starting from Peter Parker’s teenage years and go on to tell the story of how he became Spider Man. There will be familiar faces and new characters have been created specifically for the musical. Comic books have proven to be movie hits and now strive to be a Broadway spectacular.
A lot of hype about the musical is due to the fact that high profiled celebrities, Bono (Paul David Hewson) and The Edge (David Howell Evans), are creating the music and lyrics for the Broadway show. Both men are from the Irish rock band where Bono does vocals and guitar and The Edge does vocals, keyboards, and guitar. U2 is a worldwide recognized band that will bring a lot of attention for the Spider Man musical. The band has sold more than 145 million albums and has won at least 22 Grammy awards. Their fame and great musical talent was recognized in 2005 when the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The accomplishments of the bands musical fleets should foreshadow to comic book enthusiasts and Broadway fans that the music and lyrics will be great during the show.
Tickets for the show will start going on sale on September 12, so you can be sure you have a seat. They are allowing people with American Express credit cards to purchase tickets on June 24. There is not a clear list of who will be cast in the show, but it has been determined that Evan Rachel Wood will be playing the role of Spider Man’s girlfriend, Mary Jane Watson. Evan Rachel Wood starred in the movies Thirteen and Little Secrets which was up for a Golden Globe Award. There is a rumor that Peter Parker will be played by actor Jim Sturgess. The Broadway show will be great and has a wonderful director, actors, and musical talents to support the fame of Spider Man.
