Yeah, I got my art critiqued by a Top Shelf editor online at one point, and he shared some good experiential knowledge with me in his response to my email correspondence with him.
The number one thing I learned from a real life professional comic book editor is the following secret about actually drawing comics:
Drawing (in general, sketching and full page illustration) and sequential art or comics artwork are not the same thing.
Just because YOU can draw a full page sketch or illustration does not mean your comic book pages will look even HALF that good. For all we know, you could kick ass as an illustrator but really suck OUT LOUD as a comic book artist. I know I used to.
I've gotten better at drawing comics because I've been DRAWING COMICS and SEQUENTIAL ART, and not one image illustrations and sketches.
