first manga OC

[theclan10]

hey guys, i've been inactive lately. but I have an awesome excuse.
I was writing a manga, I got the whole story worked out. all there was left are the actual images of the characters, so today I started with the very first character.
I'm still new to the anime/manga genre, I always do realistic stuff, so I was kind of clueless what to do here. but I had loads of fun nevertheless, and I definitely plan on getting better with this.

here it is;

if youre going for a manga feel i would suggest going black and white and having the weight and hatch of the lines effect your value. But if your going for a full colored detailed painting i suggest you work on your lighting and play around with the textures since at the moment everything is painted the same resulting in a flat painting
