1. I've created a "comic" here to post some of my art, and would like some feedback on it. General feedback can be posted here, but if it is specific to a certain picture please comment on the page instead.

2. I'm also planning a webcomic , and would like some feedback on a few semi-important details (eg title etc).

Some of the pictures I'm posting relate to the planned comic while others are just random art.

What program are you using to make all of this?

A program called Seashore. It's based on the GIMP.

You should get the real GIMP.

I do also have GIMPshop which I could use for GIMP features that are not yet implemented in Seashore. And Seashore uses the GIMP file format.

There is a new picture posted. Also check out this one .

Your drawings are sloppy and look as if they were drawn in 50 seconds. =\

You oughta spend more time on them and throw in more detail. They'd look better then.

They were not drawn in 50 seconds. More like 10-20 minutes, although I don't actually know because I didn't time myself.

As for them being sloppy, this could be because it is difficult to keep the pen steady. I always start with a sketch so I know where to put the lines; then I make the outline and colour underneath it.

More detail: I agree. More detail would be good in some places. It would have improved the squirrel, for instance. I really don't think the flower needed any more detail, though.

Thank you for your criticism. (I think.)

There are two more pictures here and here .

One more picture here , where I tried using a smaller brush for the lines. Still not great art, but at least decent.

And now I've tried Inkscape out in this picture . I feel it's a lot better than my previous ones. I'll probably start using Inkscape more.

I notice you're getting some unsteady lines when you draw freehand. There are a few ways to get around this. Using a program which has a smoothing mode when drawing would help, as would investing in a tablet (I'm assuming you're drawing these with a mouse?). Another good idea would be to draw bigger. Make a nice big canvas to draw on, you can always crop or shrink it down afterwards, It's much easier to get nice lines when you're drawing bigger. You'd also have more space to add in details like folds and creases in clothing, shadows and highlights etc.
Your priorities for improvement should be first getting equipment and programs which you feel comfortable with and give you a good effect, preferably which also give you plenty of scope to experiment and try new things. Second, I recommend you study a bit of good old anatomy and perspective. They're the foundations of a good comic artist, regardless of style. For perspective, go and get a book called 'Perspective! For Comic Book Artists' by David Chelsea, it's the best book on the subject I know of, very easy to understand with lots of visual examples. For anatomy, well, you'll find tonnes of books on this subject, and I've yet to find the 'perfect' artists' anatomy book, but you should be able to find tutorials online on this too, and there's no shortage of stock photos of people you can learn from.
Most importantly, never give up. Keep on trying and enjoy what you draw.
Good luck!

Actually, I am using a tablet.

Okay. Today there is a new picture up. This one took me three days to draw, although I didn't work on it constantly (I had to take breaks for my hand's sake!). I also used Darth Mongoose's suggestion of drawing big and then scaling down - the original version of this was 4x the width and height. I found it works quite well, and makes it look somewhat better.

Also, if you go back one page, you can see a larger version of my current avatar :) - in which all the flaws that were hidden by scaling down are visible. :( (Still nice though, I think!)

Yes, I should probably practice my perspective drawing a little more.

As before, any feedback and criticism is welcome.

Another picture . I was trying to make them look younger, but I think I didn't entirely succeed.
