Nice work! I can tell something's going on :)
Though, I think you want to have a few more people in there--As-is, it looks like kind of a small group, considering the fact that they're chanting. Another layer or two in the back should work nicely.
Also, I'm not really a comic artist, so I'm not sure what to do about this, but... The chanting sound effects look a little static--Maybe have the different syllables different sizes, to emphasize where a whle crowd of people are, well, putting the emphasis?
Finally, you want to be careful about line variation--Right now, that dude standing in back has outlines just as thick as those of the jacket-wearing gentleman up front--This flattens the image, and is subsequently confusing as you have other visual cues saying "this part is further back".
Anyway, good job! I hope to see more of this :)

In regards to the length of this comment... To quote Blaise Pascal, "I have made this letter very long, because I did not have the time to make it short."

I agree with ~FelixKilldeer's comment. Adding to it, the people on the front row could be fully detailed, the second and third rows could be maintained as it is now; and you can add a couple of rows behind them where you use only silhouettes. That way you can express more easily the amount of people there, without having to draw them all; also it'll help you give a better illusion of depth.

Thank you! I gotta keep the line variation in mind for when I draw a big crowd again! :nod::nod: Same with the variation in pitch.

And don't worry about your comment being too long. A good critique is almost alway long, so it's all good! :nod::nod:

Thank you so much for adding to FelixKilldeer's critique! I'll have to keep this all in mind for the next time I draw large crowds! Thanks again!

Sorry about the commenting before faving...I was stupid and forgot that I had to verify my email before commenting. Love the coloring, suits the sugar j-pop feel of the comic. Am I totally out of line or was that the look that you were going for?
:iconvioletice:
Nice job on the group shot; they can be pretty daunting! I like that the people get progressively darker as they move back. Remember this will apply to the glow sticks as well; the glow sticks closest to the viewer will seem to glow brighter. Someone else already mentioned this I think, but varying the line width (lines in the foreground will be thicker than in back) will help reinforce perspective.
The people in the 2nd and back row's legs kinda disappear once they are obscured by signs or the people in front--a few places I would expect to see their legs defined but instead it's a solid area, and that looks a little awkward.

Hope this comment helps a bit :)

Thank you! Yeah, group shots're really daunting, but really worth it once you get the hang of it (Not saying that I do have the hang of it, but I'd like to think that I will one day).

Yes, I did get a comment about thinning the lineart as I go back, but thank you for putting in your two cents as well. :nod::nod:

In short, thank you for your comment, it should help a lot, and I'll try to keep these all in mind for the next time I draw a large crowd! :nod::nod:
