Question: Constructive critisism!?
Hey everyone, Miyu here!.

I wanted to ask you all something, I am an artist, not an amazing one, but i love to draw, and i would also really like to improve! Could anyone give me some tips on how to improve! Or any tips on how to draw backgrounds, because i've tried, but cannot draw them!.!.

My current drawing style, if any of you were wondering, is like this: http://gab-ree-el-ah!.deviantart!.com/art/!.!.!.

looks great, you seem to have your own style and technique, so keep going, have fun,?

part of your style is 2dimensional comic format, with that gradually acquire more angled perspectives of characters, keep drawing outlines in black and white, and save on paper, to color reprint copy and color with makers or pencil,

for computer, much the same, draw outlines, save and use copies to color, if you were going in the comic storyline direction, add more situational story board settings,
if you were leaning towards cartoon or 3d animation , you'll eventually want better tools and possibly a tablet,
backgrounds could be simple designs to suit scenario of each comic strip, generic indoors and outdoors backdrops,
