first sketch comic

I have been away from comics for a long time but I just got the bug to make some. Here is my first attempt.

I'm not even sure this counts for a comic as it does not really have much sequence to it.

edit:
DARN my cursed spelling s-kills, could a mod fix the title?

    amusing indeed, but not so sure that is comicness vs amusing photography. I think you may be lost.

    i think this is kinda cool. Little tacky with the pills and such though. Hard to crit really, but you have alot of room to improve on your drawing.

    Practice from life... yadda yadda yadda

    Yes. You should keep it off the internets.

    People can find where you live that way. If you're not a 35+ male with a shotgun by your bed, that can be potentially dangerous.

    It's one thing to give out your phone number and email as a business contact. But what possible benefit could you get by telling ppl where you live and what medications you're taking.

    Also, it's a good idea to keep Prescription Rx numbers to yourself.

    Mod helps those who help themselves.

    I'm pretty sure even non-mods can change their own thread titles by double-clicking right next to them on the main page of the forum.

    I though it was quite witty.

    Could be drawn better, but its good for a doodle.

    What was your goal with this? Is it supposed to be funny? Is it commentary? An autobiographical...portrait? A math problem? I'm not so sure the message is coming across clearly.

    Maybe look at it this way. If someone just stumbled across this in the newspaper would they know what to do with it? Could you explain what you were going for? I'm not sure I get it.

    I think it's a pretty straight forward piece, mate. What exactly don't you understand about it?

    the guy kind looks like a child. i think it's because of the large head and the smallish hands.
    i think it's interesting, but are we supposed to be looking at the photo or just the book itself. obviously, unless the pill bottle is adhered to the book in some way then as soon as you move it this it will change.

    i think it would be neat if you drew the pill bottle just like it is on the page, and the pills too. if you did it with micron pens it would add to the almost collage feel you have going, especially if you did nice tight clean lines.

    my 2 cents

    I don't like the photo with pill bottles though, makes it too over-dramatic. Also, alcoholism doesn't equate to alcoholism+pain medication or whatever that is. I like the joke though, it's pretty clever.

    I think it would look a lot better if you managed to edit the photo so it looked like an actual math exercise book, instead of a makeshift scrapbook. It shouldn't be all that difficult to edit together if you have photoshop.
