EDIT: Wow I used to be really crap (still am). Skip to the my latest post to see my slight improvement since 2012.

I'd still like constructive criticism. I've been doing pencil sketches recently so I could work out the kinks in my shadowing, but I'll post a few (old) colour ones as well in between.

Oh-ho. In a way I like your style, but at first glance the disproportion does throw me off.
I really like the first drawing, though the face doesn't seem to fit the head and body.
Can't wait to see as you progress!

I think they're both really good. Since I'm someone who can't draw at all I've always admired people who can, I'm looking forward to more. :D

I did a few sketches today

EDIT 01/15: links were broken, I don't have any backups unfortunately...》

It is quite disproportionate. the face was much too long.
The eyes are also quite weird, I agree. I'm not sure why I drew them that way, it's not how I usually do.

I took a photo of some practice sketches (of eyes) from my VAPD..

the hair is soo beautifuul :D
true, the proportion is a bit off. But it's fine, you still could learn more (and so do i :D)
I love your second post, the girl is a beauty, i love her smiley eyes ^^. But the lips, maybe you could made the upper lip not that curvy.
The child is sooo cute <3, i could grasp the pureness of that child from your drawing. Very good.
And the eyes in the spoiler is incredibly beautiful. You should draw it in you next drawing :D

Very nice, I think they're all quite good. And I know I'm not like a trained eye or anything, but I personally don't see the disproportion, I like them all myself.

She looks like androgynous alien waiting to pounce on a cute baby and take them back to the kitchen to poach for breakfast. I think it’s the eyes.

Yayyyy!!! Poached babies for breakfast!! mmmmm, goooood....... :D

Talking about the first two images, they are indeed out of proportions and they look ... well how can I say it kindly... horrible.

However, I think that you are very good at making the textures (e.g.: hair, shirt...).

It's seems, from what I've seen, that you don't draw at the size of a full sheet of paper.

You shouldn't make the same mistakes that I've made. Your drawings should take the entire page, that way it will show the imperfections and force you to improve.

Btw, I love the last drawings you've made. :D

Picture taken about two weeks ago, at that point the hair still hadn't been finished, so I cropped it out.

My most recent. About a week ago. Again, hair isn't finished at that point, it's progressed a bit since then, but I'm unsure of how to create texture with hair, so I've held back.

I did a few quick no-eraser sketches in the car about a week back as well. They're terrible, but I may as well upload them so others can learn from my mistakes.

That girl portrait looks like it had more passion and feeling put into drawing it than the boy. The quality comparison of the two is about a league apart.

I can see it now.. but I honestly put in a lot more time and effort into the boy.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll rework it tonight once I'm home.

Her eyes look so warm... And the soft lighting contrasting with the thick/rough lines is so...
