These are all from my artbook, i just squeezed them all into four pages. Most of the expressions are bland but i focused on anatomy. So critique focus on body and stance please... (be harsh)

I guess the first page is all about expressions, the rest are mainly full body shots...

Can you please do just one post per thread 'cause that is A LOT of pics to critique and give you tips on? 'Cause this is a little overwhelming. sweatdrop
They're pretty good. The poses are easily natural enough to not bother people. However, the arms on most (if not all) your 'pose' pictures are stiff. I'm not sure why, but they all look rather stiff.

For Post "number 2" with the girl all the way on the right (top) in the slinky dress, sher left arm is too long. Letting her arm naturally hang down would have her hand where it is there; if it's bent the hand should land higher. See? The right hand is hanging down, nearly straight it looks like, and her finger tips fall higher than the left arm. That should not happen. Also, that woman's left shoe (the heel) looks odd. I don't think the heel would look like that at that angle.

For the bottom left person in your "number 3" post, her mouth is flat. Too flat. There should be some definition of the lips. That is the hardest part about profiles for me since the lips look really weird until you actually put their expression in, but it must be done.

Your hands on that girl are also kinda strange ('specially her right {our left} thumb). 3nodding Her clothes are cute though!

The girl in the top left corner of your "number 4" post is pretty good, although her neck seems a bit long and her feet are a bit strange. Oh! And she could use a couple more womanly curves (at the waste pretty much) maybe, but that's not a big deal. Although, her feet look like baby feet and her toes look kinda like popcorn there (in a very strange way, I told you I'm insane). Anyway there should be an inward curve between the heel and the ball of the foot (on the right foot) by the floor; it should arch upward (inward in the foot) to give it a more humanly (adult-ier) shape. Also, the toes on that foot shouldn't just pop out. The big toe and pinky toe should kinda just (for the most part) flow with the foot a little more. Well, they shouldn't just look like little fuzzy balls stickin' there. THey should have more toe-like shape or something.

And for the big colored girl on the "number 1" post, she's pretty good. Her hand is the only thing that's kinda strange. The one holdin' up her head. It should probably be closer to her face so it actually looks like it's holding up her head first of all. Secondly, it's kinda flat. Not just the parts where it hits the hair, but the tops of the fingers too. At the joints and stuff, there's no definition there.

All in all, your pics are pretty darn good. Lots of poses that are fairly difficult for most. There was no way I could critique all but the ones I did were the ones I found most problems in. Meaning, the other ones weren't that bad, since there was hardly anything to correct on the ones I did critique. Continue to draw; you're good at it. I like your sketchbook, but I REALLY recommend breaking up this post. sweatdrop It was difficult to work with all those posts. Anyway, great job!

I must say that you drew the hands and fingers pretty well! heart I think that there's still space for improvement of drawing the anime faces. 3nodding

For number one I loved your expressions on the guys in the background. They are adorable. You did particularly nice on the guy in the top left. The colored girl adds a nice contrast. Her arm on the right (when looking at the drawing; not her right arm) seems as if it's bending unnaturaly, I'd try playing with how you draw the fabric to give it a more natural appearance.

NUMBER TWO: My God you draw hands well. I'm very jealous of you. That takes a lot of work. I still feel like some of the characters aren't completely in proportion. But they are very cute!


NUMBER THREE: I LOOOOOVE the costume on the girl in the bottom left. Beautiful job on her sleeves btw. My only beef with this set of pictures is the people's faces don't display a lot of expression.

NUMBER FOUR: You really enjoy drawing clothes and they look so pretty! Nice job on the feet in the top left corner; that's really hard to do.

Like what you said before YOU DRAW HANDS REALLY WELL!!! WOW! I wish i could do that 3nodding I love your art work. The expressions are great!!! I love the coloured girl and her posture and how you coloured her hair. I'm assuming you used markers? That's pretty amazing to be able to use markers and get such a great effect. The only thing I can say I'm not too fond of is how her legs were coloured. Sorry But!! keep up the great work!! its fantastic biggrin

THe expressions from the first pictures are so entertaining! They are done really well.The body shots are at pretty good angles, and the fingers are drawn pretty well too.But there is room for improvement, keep up the good work!
