FlorentK, wassup. Nice start here, you have some good pace going and appear to be studying hard. I like those master studies you've done. I really like that Hellboy traditional sketch you did as well. I do agree, you should bring a bit more of that to the tablet.
I would also love to see some construction lines, especially for the head. I see you line art, and assume it's a few passes later. But would be cool to see how you got to these lines. Sort of like early in post #8, those sketches. Loomis is the obvious favorite for head construction, I recommend Sycra vids for the quick learn and quicker study application. I think it'll really help you out.
Also, lastly I read how you feel about the time you took/take on pieces. I often have this fear too. But have began to abandon it. Maybe not a good advice on me, but even as recent as episode 58, Feng addresses this and also recommends to just ignore the idea of speed and realize it'll come with experience alone. He actually says something like for every year you work you'll eliminate an hour on a piece. Thats a bit daunting. I'll admit =) Take your time and make the best picture you can. You'll be all the better for it.
You should never feel ashamed to post your stuff man. Doing so is the best way to get better, especially when others come and give you some good crits to get better. Or in my case something to consider atleast. Keep grinding man!
