It's pretty much finished, but my penciling can get really messy, if someone can tell me how to avoid that, and get cleaner lines and stuff, I would appreciate that!!  Oh, maybe it's my cheapass paper!! 
Oh well, here it is, there are a few teeny things that could be more fleshed out, but I didn't want to spend anymore time on it, cause I was getting really flustered with the thing!!!!

Hey, but do you think it needs work? I know I'll get better when I do more, but can you see anything that would be off putting or anything that needs work? See, I have this stupid ass critic that's hovering over my every move, so what better place to find advice than Sijun!!

| It looky a bit messy because the lines are light and sketchy. Next time, draw a few very light lines to find one that you like, then grab a darker pencil and trace over the one you like quickly and confidently. You can go back and erase the other lines if you wish. The other thing that stands out is that the lighting is all wrong. Decide where the light is coming from, and then make sure that all areas of the picture reflect that. Just keep drawing! |

yea id just work on ur lighting a bit and really be sure to sketch it out first. What i usually do is do a light sketch (mapping out proportions and what not) then i go in and do i very light outline so that i can get what the object will actually look like (the sketch is mainly just geomettric shapes). Then i do basic shadows, and, if u want, i then use one o' those paper-rolled-up smudging things and soften up the shading. Then i erase areas that i want to be lit, and then i continue for a while darkening the shadows and adding detail. And thats my work process simplified down a lot. There ya go. Hope it helps.

Mainly those steps are what I did, and I used a tortillion(what the paper thing is), and it was easier that way. Lighting is mainly my biggest fault though.
