Hi! I'm New!

Hi, my name's Nick Fechter and I'm a seventeen-year-old student who attends Neville High School. I've been striving greatly to improve my talent in art ever since I've asked the Editor of my school newspaper if I could create a comic strip.
The top piece of art is a portrait I did of my English teacher, and the bottom one is an illustration of Edgar Allen Poe's poem "The Raven" that I did for a poetry project. I also have a webcomic (of sorts) online which you can visit by clicking the following link:

I'm open to any advice, suggestions, or commentary that your willing to provide. My hope is to one day to become as successful and talented as all of you :)

All the Best,
Nick fechter
