LOL, I'm just glad that I enjoy drawing as much as writing... especially when writing comes a lot harder these days!

I couldn't help but comment... :D Can't give any advice artwise, except maybe pay more attention to anatomy? But it looks amazing, and I totally love their faces!!!! You really should start working on fanart!

Yaaaaay! First fanart!!! I'll warn you now, it's a slippery and addictive slope to get on, just like writing fic!

Constructive critique: Actually, I love his hand, I don't think it's too big at all. People often tend to draw hands too small when really they ought to be proportional to the size of the head. For example, a hand should approximately measure the length of the face, hairline to chin, by the length of the tip of the middle finger to the beginning of the wrist.
Does that make sense?
Hands have always been one of the trickiest bits of human anatomy for me (and many others) so my advice there is practice until your own hands fall off!

Other than that, I would read some of the many wonderful tutorials available (look for some on deviantart) that address such common issues as perspective, anatomy, and proportion. I love to find tips like the hand trick to check and refine my drawings.

Great start, can't wait to see more!

Thanks so much for all the advice!
I'll certainly do what you suggest :)
