So I found this picture that was linked in the Bad Webcomics Wiki:



Regards of what you think of Chalo and/or Las Lindas - for the record, I think he's a hack who can't write if his life depended on it and Las Lindas is unbearably cliché - I was looking at the drawing sequence and liked it; it's unusually well drawn by Chalo's standards, though I get the sneaking suspicion that he paid someone else to draw it.

The guy on BWW, however, said "That thing is done by kids who refuses to learn the basics. I doesn't surprises me that his characters switch proportions from time to time. As he has no real way to determine them."

What's the problem? The problem is that the guy who wrote the article did little to explain what the artist did wrong. The only thing where I can see any problems is that the eyes are a tad uneven in size, other than that, I think it's an okay drawing, far from awful.

Is the reviewer being an ass or am I missing something? I've been thinking of drawing and trying to avoid pitfalls.

Well, I suppose he would be referring to the comic in general.

(Not from personal experience)​

Many comic/graphic artists use a scale in order to correctly and accurately portion their characters scene to scene (such as one character being 5 'heads' tall, with shoulders being 1 'head' apart each.) When one doesn't use a proper scale for their character, it is difficult to determine how one character would look in comparison to another, or in comparison to the objects within the scene. It can also affect how the character is placed in scenery and such.

I personally have an issue with eyebrows being seen through hair, but that's a personal peeve
