Hey man, covering your character's entire hand in an energy blast is some Rob Liefeld style stuff, man. Don't cheat the work, draw it out.

I get the idea that in this latest picture his one hand's behind him & the other one's more forward, the overlapping works a bit towards establishing that. And while one arm's shorter than the other, it doesn't actually foreshorten with the perspective, it just looks shorter (in fact a little too short) & that kind of flattens out the image as a result.  Not only would the arm not extend as far, it'd taper more in the fore arm as the hand was further away. His bicep on that arm also looks bigger than the other, yet theoretically, that too would also foreshorten too. Try working on your poses in relation to foreshortening. Doing so also really helps your work get more dynamic.

Also, I can't really tell, but in relation to the size of the lines, these seem like they're drawn on the smaller side & you're trying to fill in details. I'd really look in to drawing on a larger scale.

Personally, I'd avoid using textures in your work, especially if you're newish to digital art. You said you have a bamboo right? That means you probably got Photoshop Elements bundled up in there too, right? Consider checking that program out and as Wei suggested, definitely get some pin-ups and comic pages going. You should also be coloring in your lines and not leaving any white space/scribbles. Get the basics of nice, solid lines (instead of sketchy ones) and filling in flats, then pick it up and start doing shading and other cool effects.

Keep progressing though, you're on a hot streak!

@Rolfqu -  Ty for the advice, still working on a design sheet, and yea...the whole pure-energy hands thing (tiz a bad habit) lol, but
it shall be no more.

@Kuro- I will def. work on my foreshortening. And there shall no longer be pure energy covering hands lol.

@Enaxon- Sadly don't have photoshop elements, and I am still gettin the hang of the bamboo. Making presentable lines is...ergh...T_T..tough..but I do think Anginess has a forum on how to clean up the art work and what not...

Overall: Thanks to you all, I shall be refining all that I've been taught/told lol.

I'm not familiar with corel painter essentials. But as long as you can find a "pen" "ink" tool you should be fine. Or do what angie does and do it by hand, scan and color it :3

Can't wait to see what you push out next!!

Sure. You can grab some typing paper, draw on it, ink it, scann it and color it on photoshop. That's how I did my comic :3

boxes...?

Please tell me you're planning the actions in the comic first & you're letting them dictate the layout of your pages, not just squeezing the action into the panels after you arbitrarily draw straight lines on a page. It's a rookie mistake, & worrying about the straight lines before other things here is giving me that vibe.

the Rookie...:D

@Kuro: lol, nah its just that I havn't thought of myself of succeeding in a comic layout just yet...and you all are like " we want comics". And yea...lol I guess its just anxiety nonetheless,  but surely I must learn one way or another.
