Nice to see Black Panther emerging like this in first panel

Awesome perspective in the opening!

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.

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 ?

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.

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!

I did my work on a 8.5 x 11 inch printer paper with a blue ballpoint pen.
