    wow, that looks great!! Though, isn't the face little bit small?? And I think that the hands/fingers are bit big ^^;

    Other than that, it kicks butt!! ^^

    I like your drawing very much, but the face kinda looks plain it could maybe use some shadows, or maybe i just think so don't know what others think. Else i find it's great i love the trees and the Sword, Blade whatever you wanna call it. Good Job.

    I don't like the face, looks wrong for some reason, otherwise it is a beautiful work.

    I liked the face, personally. The thing that bugged me was that the front of his hair wasn't poofy enough. Y'know what I mean? It was really good though, in my opinion.

    Thanks Baphijmm. It's really tough trying to draw like watsuki sensei. Now I know the face and the hair is out. yeah, it does look a little flat there....

    My only real complaint is the katana (or sakabatou, whichever). The hilt looks much too small. If I'm not mistaken katanas were designed with hilts to hold tow hands but comapred to how the hands were made, it looks only long enough to fit one hand. But, 'sides that, looks pretty good. :)

    Overall I think the image has a good composition. I think his eyebrow is way too long. From a sideview, in fact, it should look more curved because it'll be very much sideways. (look at your own eyebrow in a mirror, first by facing the mirror face-on, then turning sideways, and you'll see the difference).

    I'm fine with the face. If more detail/shadows were added, you'd have to add more shading to his ponytail and hands as well, since they're just as plain/white. Otherwise, just leave them. The shadows aren't working with a strong light source anyway.

    One thing that I should ask is, what are the action/speed lines symbolizing? They're only coming from the front of Kenshin, so I suppose they have something to do with the sword, but the pose with his hands are relaxed rather than actively doing something with the sword.

    woah I'm not sure how to answer that, I just draw with my mind in blank. I'm not good at all those shadows or lines thingy. Anyway guys, you all had been really helpful to me. I have another one but this one is my own original art to be submitted in the original category. I figured I should get some comments from you all before I submit it in. Here it goes...
