The pixel work is quite strenuous on some of these.

Diff style

The car is admittively the only one that I borrowed from an outside source, the wheels . I copy , paste and went over the wheels.

First picture: the anatomy feels VERY off and the girl is entirely too thin. She looks anorexic, no offense. What you need to do is try and make your people a little more thicker around the waist area. It can be a real turn off to some if they're looking at a drawing of somebody's ribs practically protruding from their skin. The breasts are very lopsided as well. Have you tried looking up some anatomy tutorials?

Second Picture: the anatomy is MUCH better in this one however her right arm (the one going straight downward) is much too thin. You don't want to have limbs on your people too thin or it just won't mesh well with the drawing and it'll throw some things off.

The car drawing (above the dog): It's very nice work! Like your use of shading, but for some reason the front-end of the car feels very off to me. I'm not sure but something just isn't sitting right.

As for the rest, really work hard on your anatomy. Look up tutorials on the net, even buy yourself an anatomy book! You'd be amazed at how much you can learn from it! Try not to go on an over-abundance of pixels. It makes it really hard to decipher any detail that might be there. You should try going with more smooth colors instead of so many pixels. Other than that, there's potential. Keep it up!

Well your first picture... Well to be honest it was rather scary. It seems most of your artwork was done on MS paint I assume?

I think you need to work on body proportions. Also in some pictures your angle is fine but in others, such as the car driving at night looks off.

The blue exotic car is pretty good, the only problem is the right light looks dented in.

Alien and person, was hard to tell what it was but you need to work on the proportion. To be honest, the concept seems a little childish to me.

I just started digital work this year, thank you. Well the orig drawings were shall we say gesture. I can draw rather well though, I just did not for these. I just rushed . I was studying color. The idea childish , I am not sure what you mean by that but I would hate to grow up and kill my art work quickly with age.

There's no need to have a tone. We were just offering some helpful, friendly critique. You say you can draw rather well, then let's see some pictures that weren't rushed. Also, what program are you using for your digital coloring? Photoshop CS? Paint Shop Pro? Gimp? I'm rather curious because you can find decent coloring tutorials as well. Also do you color with a mouse or a graphics tablet?

I meant to have no tone lol. As for tuts I believe in critics but not tuts. I believe in apprenticing too but I want to have my own style even if everyone hated it.

I do not believe in learning to do art the "right " way...just my way. Its a part of me that is expressed and its my individuality.

Just because you look up tuts and practice from them doesn't mean you'll adopt that style. I've used tuts and I have developed my own entire style. Tuts aren't going to take your individuality away from you when it comes to art.

I admit that you are probably right. It is all part of learning techniques and how to use tools effectively. I just feel like I have a lot of enemies here to be a bit sensitive . LOL I can name a few off hand.

I could prob learn quite alot if I trusted people like you. Though I am not a people person, I do not try to start fights I always get into them and some people hold some wicked grudges against me.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm not trying to be condescending to you or anything, just trying to help you out with your art.

I believe every artist has potential to grow and find their own style. I feel the same when it comes to your art. Just try it out. Learning how to use the tools and looking up to tutorials for that can be very effective. Also, books! How to draw anatomy books are truly amazing and so helpful! That's how I got to where I am now. Years of praticing, studying, working hard on my art and anatomy tutorials, books and perspective books, etc...

I taught myself how to use Photoshop, though I did have one of my best friends help me along the paths that confused me most when it came to learning Photoshop. Tutorials are just really icing on the cake when it comes to learning such an extensive program. Give it a try! You never know what you may come up with ^_~

This is my first art work since I began studying someone's work here, with the permission of that person.

A drawing of mine ^^^
