Thanks jeffbert! ! I have more drawings on my Deviantart. You can check more out there if you're interested.

I looked at a bunch of the deviant art stuff; I have a suggestion: use an Ebony art pencil, it makes a very dark line. Also, many of the figures are very small; even loading the full-sized image, & they are difficult to see well. I realize you are probably doodling at school, but if you want to improve your drawing, you might also get some better paper, & draw a bit larger. I could barely read the BJ dialog balloons.

lol. I get that a lot from others. I draw and write small without even noticing it. Also, an ebony pencil? I seen some of those at my school. Where do they sell them and how much do they cost?

Also, I am trying my best to draw and write bigger. Though, no matter how hard I try it always turns out to be small! :d oh:

Art supply shops & college bookstores will have them. I suppose Amazon might also. I actually preferred using mechanical pencils, & you should find at least 6B in refills for those.

HB = #2, softer lead goes by 2s: B, 2B, 4B, 6B, then the next is ebony. The leads also go harder: 2H, etc. But I press too hard, & all too often break my .5 mm leads.

Well, my lead breaks from my papermate mechanical pencil sometimes, so you're not alone.

Hmm... Not sure if they have stores like that over here. Maybe I'll check walmart sometime. My mother bought me a sketchbook from there, so maybe they'll have art supplies.
