Drawing First attempt (retroactively speaking...)

[Raiden]

I made this about a year ago.

I decided to make an Avatar for myself, since I had the image in my head for a while, and everyone else is doing it.

Surprisingly, it was my first attempt at drawing anything bipedal for years; I mostly draw mechs, animals, and other non-"humanoid" things, and pretty much every other attempt at drawing something bipedal before this ended up looking mostly terrible.

I don't have one of those fancy pen tablets. This was just my trusty mechanical pencil, a pen, and a printer/copier/scanner. I did use GIMP to touch up on some things and to erase smudges, but that's the only part that was done digitally.

Eventually I want to get a Wacom tablet, because I love drawing, and I want to know what other people think of the terrible beasts that seem to materialize on my math homework, but I'm not very good at transferring physical/traditional art into digital things, so most of my creations just end up snacking on a doodle of whomever wronged me most recently.

Please, critique the hell out of this. I need to know what I did wrong, because I don't know if it looks terrible or if it looks alright until I have a larger sample size of responses.

Seems strangely... angular. But that may just be your drawing style. I like it. Though to be honest I shouldn't be saying anything; nobody at work can even read my electronic schematics.

I like it - as SightUnseen said, it's angular - very much makes me think of mecha actually.

I can't draw well, but the bit that looks weird to me is the hands - the right wrist is apparently very flexible as it looks like it's bent over the left arm.

Yep i like it too, nice style that could be adopted for comics or something
