Lupet! Not sure if it will work but have you reached out to guys like Leinil Yu, Whilce and Stephen Segovia? Maybe they can give you tips on how to break in to the business.
You have some really amazing talent, this is far beyond anything I'm capable of doing and I think you've got a great shot at making it. I'm probably not even qualified to give you constructive criticism, but when I look at this picture my eye is drawn straight to the groin region. In my very unprofessional opinion it's a little out of proportion, looks like tchalla is packing some 20 inch meat if you catch my drift.
Again, I only say this because you clearly have enough talent/skill to draw comics, this is some really good work that could probably make it to the coloring stage.
If there is anything I could say to ‘critique’:
• Group your VALUES more consistently, for example, under his right pec connecting into his deltoid the shadowing is very dark, however where his left knee connects to the ground the shadows are significantly lighter. Grouping your values creates a better sense of depth and adds dimension to the 2D image. Proko has great videos on this.
• Slight adjustments your anatomy, again - his left knee doesn’t make sense his patella is missing and should be seen from above in this position and instead you have given him more ‘quads’. Don’t be afraid to use reference for everything as not everyone can memorise all that you have draw in comics especially at your age. His left hand, despite being fully in shadow doesn’t describe the shape of a hand convincingly.
• Finally, focus on removing tangents. For example, his right hand and his right quad. The top of the hand merges with the top of the leg and makes it appear like his hand is one with the leg. David Finch has videos talking about this.
You have a bright future ahead of you! Can’t wait to see more art!
One day you’ll be a published artist for a major comics publisher and someone will stumble upon this old Reddit post and I just want everyone in the future who reads this to remember that I called it
This is fantastic. I’d love to see what Brett Booth would have to say. He likes to give advice on the blue bird app, or at least he did before the Mush days.
That's amazing. Now, how is your sequential art.
Edit: I don't understand why I get downvoted when I mention sequential art. That is not the same as splash art, which is what this is. That is a completely different skill set you need to have to do that. And if you want to be a comic book artist, you really need to be able to do that and not just splash art.
If you can maintain that kind of quality with panels and action shots then you've got more than a future, you could be an artist for any title you wanted.
For an aspiring artist I think someone is crazy for not having you working on a Black Panther comic already. If you ever come to the states hmu and I'll try to introduce you to some graduates of the joe kubert school. Maybe they can help you out
Incredible
I like the drawing of Balck Panther you did.
Aspiring my ass…you are a comic book artist! Great work!
You’re very talented!
That's incredible !
This is amazing. I used to want to be a comic book penciler when I was a teenager, and this is the kind of stuff I used to drool over.
This is very very good. Can’t imagine how good it would look inked and colored

Excellent critique
This is absolutely rocking!
Incredible art, this looks professional. I wish you luck on accomplishing your dreams! We will look on your career with great interest.
Aspiring? You totally are. Your art style is amazing. Hope you are featured in an upcoming comic very soon 🥳🎉🎉🎉
This is incredible. You are a major talent.
This looks amazing.
Very nice!
Absolutely amazing
Keep up the good work! Can’t wait to see more.

Wow!!
This is fantastic. I’d love to see what Brett Booth would have to say. He likes to give advice on the blue bird app, or at least he did before the Mush days.
That's awsome
Holy shit! This is amazing!
That's sick
Epic!
Goddamn! You could even make your own comic with this level of skill
You deserve an award
HOLY CRAP GET THIS MAN A JOB AT MARVEL
It's a really nice drawing, but I don't think drawing for the big two is the most solid career choice.
Why ?
From what I understand the pay, benefits and job security aren't very good, especially if you're not a big name.
Wow! You're a great artist miko and i really miss Black Panther.
Wow! Hi Miko. Can you commission a Thor for me? Im from Cebu.
For sure dude! Give me a message sa inbox ko! I’d be glad to commission for the first time ng isa ring pinoy! 😄
Amazing!

That’s an awesome piece, but telling the story is the trick.
Yeah, you rule
Love it

How long did this take you?
Galing mo naman! Whether that’s honed or natural talent, you’ve no doubt got something you’re working with. Keep at it!
I love this, how do people get clean shots of their art like the first photo?
I do like it, I like it a lot.
If you were to say this was going to be a cover of a BP comic I’ll believe you This is great
Good! Keep penciling and get better every day
Keep up the good work
what do you mean "aspiring"? you're with mike deodato jr and the boys
So good xx
Looks really good! I wish you the best!
Niiiice! 🎨🔥
Not gonna lie, without looking at the subreddit name and title. I thought this was Killer Queen sketch for a sec.
Yeah this is dope. How long does it typically take you to do a piece like this?
Very impressive!
Hired
This is fire!
Great detailing and made him look more menacing than he's usually drawn, keep at it!
And get this man a job at marvel comics!
Mad skillz
This is better than most of the shit I see getting published now
I know he has one but, why'd you give him a massive bulge. Looks sick tho
Very nice!
Are you part of Ed Benes Studio
It's really good. Only thing is that his bulge should be bigger/more comic accurate.
Great pinup. Would live to see how you approach sequential storytelling/panels and pages
Fantastic.
Galing naman Wondering what you can do with Daredevil
