/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Hello, it's me again, do anybody knows how to texturize iron? I tried with a lot of tones and brushes, but none of them convince me

I want to post pages to compare, but i have very imcomplete pages (which are just photos of the drawing of the characters in the panel stich together with hope and dreams) so it's a little shameful still, since last time people were talking more about the art that the things that i needed to know...
But i still want to post to see if what i'm doing now is right... and also get a little confidence boost to push me to work

So if i post the pages could you give your honest thoughts about the paneling and dialogue and ignore completely the art?

Mochi mochi... i came to ask again any tips to draw crowds, my brains isn't processing quite right between drawing silhouettes or do the whole deed with drawing every person on the panel
