Resizing images so you can see them easily on 8chan first and foremost!

Anyway man with such heavily stylized stuff it's hard to tell what your weaknesses may be. For example I could say that the creature in your first image has messed up proportions as well as perspective problems because his stage-right leg appears to come forward but ultimately ends up smaller than the one on his left, but you could just chalk that up to being a conscious decision. Do you have any realistic stuff drawn from observation or imagination? That's where the money is, my man, as far as seeing where you're at and where you should be.

Cool, dude.p let me get you some of that.

ok so i combed through the sketch book and this is the most recent realistic on i found, and that's saying something because most of the Darwins are very stylized like you said. :I haha sorry. May be leaning on stylization as a crutch against the actual badness of my art???

That one's a bit too small now, lol. It looks pretty good at this distance but damn son!

It's best to learn the ins and outs of real fundamental drawing before you start stylization because if you don't you won't have a true command over your style; you'll just be making stuff up as you go along without a solid foundation, know what I mean?

There is a problem with all this though, fundamentals are pretty boring, man; they take a long time to "sink in" for a lot of people, too. I highly recommend them if you want to take your art to a higher level, but if you don't care about that so much it might not be so bad to just keep doing what you're doing if you're having fun.

i'm back with a slightly more realistic drawing!

this one is a parody of pulp fiction paperback covers.

Nothing stands out as particularly onerous to me. Looks pretty good, she-devil could use some more tiddy and skinnier arms imho but the drawing looks alright for what it is; looks like the nose isn't following the same angle as the face though or perhaps it's just too "flat" on the form if that makes sense. Anyway doing alright but don't rest on your laurels, keep practicing and keep getting gud.

I meant with regards to the male character as far as the nose goes just for the record
