Do You Like my Webcomic's Current Art Style?

Yeah, depends on your style. Faub uses his to great effect, which is different to what Derenge does, which also looks great. I don't really know how I vary the thickness, but I do, and it's usually about feel.

Anyway, Shensi, your styles OK, but it needs a lot of practice. It appears you ink on the computer. I'd suggest doing it by hand, where you'd get more control over line thickness and overall smoother lines. Practice drawing people from life, your sister, your friends, random people on the street, if you have the means a live model in a class, anyone. Obviously your style is more cartoony, but a basic concept of human anatomy will help you even if you stylize your figures to all hell.

American styles use black areas to represent shadow where manga styles will draw the outline then use screen tones for shading. Both have their interesting points. Large amounts of black makes a drawing moody. Using a lot of white areas with screen tones for shading can make a drawing cheery.

Ah! And I thought the only difference was in how they drew their eyes. But I can see this, this makes a lot of sense. Very useful. Thanks!

the only major gripe I have with it is that it looks very flat, maybe a little bit of prespective in the drawings with backgrounds and more empahsized shading would help.
