I appreciate you letting me know :)
Good drawings, overall well done.
If I may suggest: you tend to place both eyes horizontally, even when the head is tilted. Maybe you shouldn’t worry too much about getting the eyes completely drawn out, they’ll get enough attention anyway.
Another thing - it is a lot of gloom and doom, which will certainly serve the story, but you make the girls also quite hardened, which makes it more difficult for the reader to relate to them. By making them a bit softer and likeable, the reader will care more and thus you can better build up tension in the story.

Valid question, it annoys me as well when it happens.
Either only use one side per page, so the smudging will only hit the empty opposite page, or use a harder pencil, like H, HB or 2B, but not softer than that.
Thank you for your answer. That is what i was also thinking. I could leave oppsite page blank. It's a little bit of waste but maybe I use this pages for warming up exercise with hard pencils. It's kinda funny because as i metioned the ones on the third photo aren't dirty as much and i used softer pencils. Maybe it's also about how many layers of graphite i used.
What equipment is required for the coloring section ? I ask because I do not have a tablet or any similar device and I have never worked on digital coloring or drawing. Do I need to buy a tablet or something similar ? Or I will be able to complete the coloring section with traditional ways of coloring ?
No equipment is required, if you want to use color pencils, that would be enough.
It is just that the video will show coloring digitally since that is considered more convenient, but they have emphasized that you can do the coloring traditionally as well.

David,
Hereby my final assignment. I’ve chosen a comic style, for comics is the destination I am aiming for. Drawing two characters make the drawing more interesting, I like to see some story emerging.
Still a lot to learn, but your lessons and the assignments have helped me a lot in growing as an artist, so thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and giving us the critiques we needed.

LOVE the narrative.. and youre doing what you want. When dealing with a little more of a cartoon it still needs to possess some evidence of basic structure( like where is his neck - even from this angle you might see a "hook" communicated with sterno muscle to pit of neck- by "hook" I mean a 2D trick to hook or connect two forms together) Also form design- especially with more cartoon styles the forms take on a specific design and not just drawn. Glad you liked the course. I love your loose sketches- so much life

Bark, I'd suggest to avoid copying all details, and in stead dedicating your energy in getting the exact proportions of the main landmarks, like the eyes together, and the eyes versus the cheeks. About the shadows - choose the ones that support a clear view on the face, leading the viewer to his gaze in stead of those that only distract the viewer. You can do it, since you have already proven to create convincing shadows.

Bark, Socrates is very recognizable, you can feel his stubbornness.
As a critique: the noses do not match, the left one is tilted too high. And the dark spots may be accurate according to the light situation, but ask too much for attention, leading the viewer away from the facial expression. Your penciling is good enough, now it's time to decide where to put emphasis.

a Markhor and Chimpanzee mix. Pencil sketches. Trying to play with different head shapes!
Great linework, real characters, with wisdom and emotions. The horns could have been connected somewhat more solid on the skull, convincing the viewer they won’t break.

I did my work on a 8.5 x 11 inch printer paper with a blue ballpoint pen.
Nice stuff, especially the two images on the left hand side, they look animation ready.
