Great stuff man, you've done so much work!
My criticisms would be:
-It feels like there's something not quite right with your body (but mostly face) proportions/Construction.
Like, the eyes and nose don't actually belong to the face- You drew the head, but didn't think quite enough about how the facial features go around the different planes of the face, like the face was just pasted in (this isn't the case in all of your drawings, but in some -one eye is too high or both are too close together, the nose placed wrongly, etc.)
- Your figures often lack gesture and appear quite stiff, you could check out Proko's video on youtube about gesture

Hope I made sense.

I love your use of color! Very vibrant and eye catching.

I agree with Hirvios here. I hadn't noticed the eye and nose problem until it was pointed out. You can avoid the eye level by using an eye level line that wraps around the head. If you check out head contruction its usually the horizontal line thats about ear level in drawings.

And if I might add something else, there's a few drawings where the perspective gets a tad wonky. Its most noticable with the feet positions (I have this same problem as well haha).

I see that you understand foreshadowing so its just a case of nailing perpective on that front.

Keep drawing man!

Thanks for the crits my dudes, i was away for a while here's a portrait

[Artloader]

Welcome back mate.

Nice bit of rim lighting, I like the pale skin tone with the hints of warmth here and there, nice work.

The eye shape looks quite stylised, if that's what you're going for then fine, otherwise maybe study the eye shape more closely.

Keep it going mate!

[Nick C.]

Thank's

I went with wherever my hand took me beacause i turn the reference layer on and off and cant find a way to keep it pined so i can have it in my sight so i know what im following so it turns into 50/50 thing of what it is 

i did the same thing with the next one that's atached but cheated a bit on the male portrait





i also think that maybe i should just stylize if that is what feels more natural to me
