The title is too long. The author comments are too short.

Oddlem responds:

Are you telling me that "A Book" is too short? >:0 The nerve!

The legs are too short here.

Oddlem responds:

Weell frick. Another person also pointed that out, and I actually did not see it until it was mentioned. ;; I probably should have made the torso shorter to keep things in proportion but I was a blind dingus.

When you someone tells you to read 'a book' and you take their advice as literally as you can. :P

Not bad, not bad at all. I kinda dig the muted colour look and how your character is reading a book with just one hand. I'd mention that the legs are too short for the torso, but I'm pretty sure that was a stylistic choice rather than anything else.

Nice simple drawing and there's nothing wrong with that.
Keep up the practice and pencil crayons will never make you uncomfortable again. haha

Take 'er easy.

Oddlem responds:

Hey, "a book" is a scholarly and educational work of literature. lel
Thank you! And shoot, someone else pointed that out too. I really need to work on my proportions since I did not realize there was anything wrong with the legs until now. x: Definitely wasn't on purpose, since he's supposed to be a bit tall with long legs and a short torso. Whoops.

But yeah! I'll keep practising for sure, I do love working with pens (though it gets a bit annoying when half of my pens have a bunch of air bubbles lol).
