Creating a Comic Traditional vs Digital Pros and Cons
I think this is an important topic for both rookies and pros. Speed is a key component of hitting a deadline and ease of use and access for digital has never been better BUT Paying the bills and saving for the future is very important. Digital artist won’t be able to sell the original pages of their work. Which is a big trade off Francis Manapul has a YouTube video in which his agent estimated his original art from his work on the flash would have been worth over 100k. But it was done all digital and he had none of it to sell. Because of that and social media content which it seems traditional content gets more attentions, I’m planning on transitioning to mostly traditional work overall. Has anyone else given this deep thought?

Weekly Wins 12/7 (Day 402 of Drawing🎇)
First time sharing my work here! I’ve been drawing every day for over 400 days! Sometimes it’s been 8 minutes sometimes it’s been over an hour. My next major goal is to find MY mannequin of the human form something I can draw in any pose from imagination. I will also be switching primarily to traditional art. Started this week with a character that has been my favorite since child hood I still remember buying my first comic I was 6 years old and it was a multi bundle issue that included Spectacular Spider-Man #229 (still have it) when Peter stepped down when MJ was pregnant and Ben Reilly took up the mantle of Spider-Man.

Anatomy
I struggled for many years with drawing the female form and figure. Has anyone else struggled with this? What have been your biggest challenges with human anatomy?

I struggled for a long time with female faces. Just this past year I finally feel like I’m starting to consistently like the female faces I’ve drawn.
Helpful Criticism and Critique Wanted.
I need suggestions on how/why the sketch shifted more to the feminine, and what are the main characteristics that tend to shift an image more one way than the other?

Some great ideas here. I agree with the general consensus your drawing shortened the space between the lips to the chin and the hair line to the eyebrows and it created a more feminine look. A more pronounced jaw generally looks more masculine. What I found that has helped me capture a likeness is to take more time on the lay in. One way I've helped me with that is to print your my and have it directly next to my drawing and work on a 1 to 1 size piece. This makes it much easier to see any proportions that are off.

Personally don’t notice! I think it’s well within the acceptable boundaries of what is believable. Are you comparing it to a reference image?
