Could have cleaned up some of the edges, but other than that I'm happy with it.

Nah we just got into a heated argument about robots n stuff

Attempted anatomy woohoo

also if you see Fronty ask him if he's okay with black jeans

[Tayasaurus]

I think you need to work on clothing folds and creases. He looks too plain with those starchy clothes

because without the shirt and pants he looks smashingly handsome

Speaking of clothing folds, how do you even do that?

I've been starting to draw more often now that I have an intuos but I honest to goodness can not draw clothing folds or anything like that.

The best way to learn is observe, obviously. different fabrics fold different ways and demonstrating smooth folds vs jagged folds will make your clothes all the more believable.
But a picture that really helped me out, and made it all "click" for me was this:


from this blog post. I'm sure there are much better tutorials out there, and it would be best to look for them as well, but this picture demonstrates the basics pretty well, i think. The most important thing about folds is tension (or the lack thereof) and imagining in your head how that stretching affects the fabric. But of course, it's not easy to just "imagine" it all so that's why i reccommended observing from life too :p

[Evar678]

That's actually extremely helpful. Thank you.

bunched up pant bottoms and sleeves are all you'll ever need

[QuantumEagle]

I usually get the basic form of the fabric first before getting folds down. So a tube for a sleeve before applying the proper folds to make it look like cloth.

i find it so so hard to do light and shadow if i'm working from imagination. the most i can manage well is cartoony blocky shading. anything else quickly becomes a grey blobby mess. :(
