This is a place to post your art if you simply want feedback on how it looks/ways to improve it.
Please be courteous with your feedback, and only offer helpful criticism('That sucks' is not helpful criticism). I usually say two things they could improve on with something they are doing really well. Because that's also important to realize what you're doing right don'tcha think?

Wow great stuff!! You seem to really like the anime style. I think something that could help improve your work is to study anatomy. I know that anatomy in anime is often stylized and isn't anatomically accurate, which is fine. That style is very appealing to some. However, I think it would be beneficial to your work to try figure studies. Or even drawing with a grid/anatomical guideline underneath.
Here's a helpful link that I use when I want to practice drawing the human form. They even have a section on just hands and feet if you particularly want to focus on that.

I can't draw feet to save my life, so, that'll be really helpful, I'm sure. biggrin

Wow! Those are great! You have a really nice style. And your use of color is really nice. Do you have a tablet or do you draw with the mouse?
Yes, I think some time practicing anatomy would benefit you a lot. Here's a website I use all the time: http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/figure-drawing/ There are models you can use to improve your anatomy skills. I'm not really that great on digital painting, so I don't know if I can be much help for you there. But I think your work could stand a little more blending and smoothness. You're already halfway there I think, you just need to push it a bit more with the blending.

Hello there! I'm glad to see another person who is still using pencil on paper. I like traditional art styles. I think the one I really like in your gallery, and is drawn with the most skill is the raven and candle. It's a nice composition, and you use shading really nicely in the feathers and the raven's face.
Some of your other drawings are more anime/manga style drawings. Would you say that is your preference, and that's what you like to draw most? I think those could be improved a bit more. Some of your drawings are on line paper, and I know when doodling and sketching sometimes line paper is all you have. But I really recommend getting a sketchbook that doesn't have any lines. It's something everyone who likes to draw NEEDS. PRIORITY NUMBER 1.
I honestly see a lot of my own drawing style in your anime/manga ones. It's exactly how I used to draw a few years ago. So, things you could improve on:
1) Anatomy. You're characters all seem a bit...stiff. Here is an example that really emphasizes the curvature of the human body, and the ways in which it can be drawn.

2) Color. You don't have to use color if you don't want to. It's just a suggestion. It could really benefit you to learn some shading techniques though since a lot of your drawings are pencil lines only.Below is an example that shows the littlest bit of color/shading adds an extra pop to the character.

3) Backgrounds. Now I struggle with backgrounds. A lot. I like to just draw characters and don't give a HOOT about what happens behind them. But, they are important, and can really help your drawing. Even in this Bleach picture below they have a background. It is simple, yet it makes the characters stand out much more than if it was a blank space behind them.

You have a lovely gallery. Your art is cute. When it comes to improvement, the anatomy of the legs mostly does need some work. In the drawings I saw, the arms and hands were wonderful. The facial expressions are nicely diverse, making the characters more relatable. Do you scan your pictures in or are they taken by a camera? Just wondering.

Improvement is an amazing thing. Maybe I can get some criticism on my most recent OC drawing, Agatha?

But I don't really use it... color, I know how to shade with... it's just that the good part of my draw are commission... and everytime I'm scared that screw up all... ;u; background, I practice actuallly...

That is one way to do it. I also upload pictures to photobucket since it's free, and if you click the Add Media button on Gaia you can log into your photobucket account and post pics from there.
