To avoid page strectching, I will post direct links.
This is one for my characters, I dressed them up for Halloween xd
The two that are playfully sword fighting, are twins, a pirate, and medival themed.

I hate seeing threads with no responses and I enjoy looking at your constantly progressing work, so I'll write just a quick critique/comments on what stood out to me for you. :)


1. Of course you can see what still needs to be drawn in or refined, the things that strike me as 'off' the most are the footing of the two on the left as well as their interaction/space sharing the most. They look flat to me, in that they are standing just side by side, rather than the more sort of dynamic involvement that is implied. Maybe if the front one's foot was behind rather than in front of his rival's it would add more depth. Also, showing a bit more tension in the upper body of the fighter on the right, just a bit more stretch of his left shoulder, if not both. The balance on the far left fighter's feet need to be evened out unless they are standing on an uneven surface or you plan to rework it for a (possibly uncomfortable pose for him) perspective type effect.
As for the one on the far right, I'm not really sure what his exact purpose is. Is he tilting his head? Maybe make this more apparent. One last thing - too many fingers on far left guy's top hand on one side of the weapon!


2. His right hand is on backwards! Or maybe the fingers should go under the staff? His right shoulder in general may be too high/close to the other, but this whole image is a lot more refined so I wouldn't worry too much I think.His left foot seems like it should be at a different angle, perhaps the same as the other foot. I like the refinement of this one a lot though.

Hope that helped a bit and keep drawing! ^^

That guy on the far right.. looking at it I originally ment him to be turned more ^^;
and for the to many fingers, I just kind of scribbled those on to show the fingers would show xd
I have a horrible tendancy to put hands off ^^'

For stretch of his left shoulder, would that mean stretched farther from the body right?

I didnt even notice the uneven feet lol

Darn, I did the backwards hand thing, again!

Yes, that would make the feet look better, as you can tell by now, I have difficulties with feet and feet positioning sweatdrop

Thank you very much for all the help, will get to work on these changes ^^

It's a very good start and without knowing how old you are or how much education you have received in art I think any critique could be hard at any level.

So I would critique you to let us know how much education you have in art so we could respond in that grading or critique curve.

As for idea and costume it is really good, I know what they are doing and what they are not doing. That's for the first one.

The second one is really good. I can really get deep into the characters eye and I can really see the muscle in the arms. The arm that is a bit higher has a larger elbow but its good.

Well, I will start off telling you I am 17, been drawing for 6 years, and have only had highschool art (which was pretty useless to me..) no real formal art classes ^^;

Thank you ^^

Now that I think about it.. I have another one or two I'd like to add to my list XD
