Nice. I trying to leran how to drow right now. I have a question: after inking, how do you erase the left overs (in this case, the red parts)? I mean, whithout using a computer. How to have a completely clean draw in paper? Do you need an especial ereser or something?

[How2Draw]

@gundamzerostrike I do both. I erase the red line but use the computer to erase anything that I couldn't erase with the eraser. The best way to avoid left over red marks is to be as light with you pencil strokes as possible. This way you can remove the red line more easily.

I think you should consider relaxing a bit and using more of your arm when inking. Do you see the wire the connects the head to the back? I noticed that you used your hand predominantly and that forced you to break the line into multiple segments when inking. Try using your entire arm to make the arc one solid segment. By arm I'm referring to the forearm along with keeping the wrist locked (or you can relax the wrist and use it to extenuate the arc).

All the best!

When I ink, my lines are always squiggly, messing up my drawings. How can I get a smooth line like you get?

Great tutorial the only thing that i could see wrong was you draw with your wrist the whole time like you said relax, you'll see much better line work and line values will stand out more if you draw from your elbow. You are great and in no way trying to be rude just constructive criticism.
