Looking for a general critique.

Alright I've been drawing and believe I am getting better but always am looking for other people's ideas and criticisms. Any comments you have would be much appreciated.

There isn't much to give.

The heads on some of them look a little too big--You also might want to try drawing different expressions and poses so you don't end up with that I call 'orgasm stare'. It's when you see a person's character and they all have the same expression, even during sex.

Practice anatomy, practice poses and angles--And what I really suggest if you want to start doing backgrounds someday is start drawing things from real life. Coffee mugs, bookshelves, trees, buildings..

Also all your characters have the same eye-shape. I try to give different characters different shaped 'eyes' since you seem to be having the sort of anime style going on and all, it's a good way to make expressions diverse.

Also your colouring looks like you are pressing too hard on your markers--Unless they are crappy markers or it's on crappy paper. Try to be careful when working with black or darker colours, too. If you go over a part a few times even slightly, it makes a darker 'blotch' and the end result is kinda streaky.

Either way keep practicing.

I'm a little pressed for time, so I'm going to focus on the coloring. You've got good color schemes, and you've clearly put a lot of effort into your pictures. DarkMettaur is right about the blotching, in your blacks/grays it shows very clearly and is fairly distracting from the picture as a whole. Your other colors are blended much more nicely, especially the yellows. Lastly, pay a little more attention to lighting, overall you've done very well, and clearly have a strong grasp of the basics, but there are a few spots that stand out as being wrong or inconsistant.

In your first picture there is a cast shadow on the wrong side of the figures hair (their left). It's right where the light would be hitting.

In the second picture there's a very strong highlight at the back of the head where the light shouldn't be very strong at all.

I think that might have been a little more specific than you wanted, apologese if it was. Overall you're well on your way, and I really can't wait to see more of your work.
