I hope I have this kind of drive to do raw drawings, I'm too much of a critique of myself that I would've just stick on the only thing I can do raw, eating papayas
haha what kind of papayas?:LOL:

joke aside, i did this so i can push myself to draw more

Day 3 : Face Draw (never been easy)

The guy looks just incredible.

Not saying this to mock you, but he has so much personality and is miles above the other drawings.

The girls are all well drawn and look awesome, but are ultimately kinda forgettable. Not like that's something bad. They look good, but nothing I haven't seen before. This guy, on the other hand, could fucking be the star of his own game. So much charm and looks so fucking unique.

Day 5 : Coloring with CorelDraw+Photoshop

This one looks almost worthy to be a cover.

If you're really improving at this pace, you could genuinely earn money with your art. There are thousands of authors who could use a cover like that, and all they get are art spammers and AI.

thanks man, for now I'm focusing to improve my draw first and I don't have proper equipment for digital art. perhaps later when I have my own drawing pad, coloring with corel and psd take too much time.

No need for digital art. Do your thing! Looks almost better imo.

My goal is create my own manwha or at least visualize web novel. The main problem now is writing, haha

You have like a gazillion authors/writers here on this site, and only a dozen or so really skilled artists.

Even if you don't want to do the writing yourself, you can simply give rough instructions for the plot and provide the art, and then ask someone else to collaborate with you. That wouldn't be an issue at all. I honestly think you can do it! Give it a try.

You could even create a few artworks and then hold an audition where people provide the story. You should give it a try.

Your writing style is easy to read. The writing isn't your problem. Perhaps the problem is more related to the content of the story.
