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.

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 ^_~

Hm, I could be wrong, but what it looks like you're doing for some of them is taking actual pictures and then coloring over them in MS paint.
No, man, I have the original drawings, they are pictures of drawings but I do not just copy over finished pictures that would not be art to me brother. I draw it then take a picture of the drawing and then color it.
PEace.
I do not see how saying I did this in MS makes much sense, I do not know if you are an artist but if you actually look at these they are a bit more serious than paint. You would go insane making these in paint , especially the bathing suit model.
I admit straight off that I do not use the tools of adobe but at the same time calling it MS Paint work an obvious childs tool is a bit unkind so please people refrain. Yes, I need to learn the tools and could do better with them.

Orly? Original? And yes, I am an artist. I'm also good at the internet and can spot when someone is lyingggg:
Does this look....at all familiar to you? *Stares at it* Hmmm...it looks familiar to me.....
The fact of the matter is, the first two "drawings" are completely different from those that follow. There is a serious and very noticable dichotomy. Thus, I think my theory is very right.
That was my inspiration but I still drew the image, I can dig it up if you really want me to.... Some changed alot when I added color as it was like sculpting I put several hours on to these and all but for the dog and myself the inspiration came from the net. You can find images that look similar but they are by far the same. I put alot of time into these and I will post them in order of my "experiences" if need be.
First came the dog, then the women on the pink rug, then my sister, then the car, then the model you posted inspired me, then a self protrait which was done in alot alot lot lot lot lot lot lot lot less time as you would notice. It was done in a different way.
There in a matter of seconds I posted it I can post more....yes I am inspired . Nothing wrong or not honest about that. LOL that is because I did this one after the other 2.
RE-edited to make my point further .

There's nothing particularly wrong with drawing from real life, or using photos--so long as you admit you used them. It's a good way to learn realism though, so I don't really see the problem as long as you're not claiming the picture is your own original creation completely devoid of any references at all. However, I think what most people are pointing at is that you should become more familiar with the digital tools at your disposal because then you might become more familiar with using stuff you've never used before or doing things you never previously thought possible. That's what tutorials are for.
I read them too, and it's exactly for that reason that I read them--so that I'll be able to make good use of the tools that I wasn't aware of before. You can often customize or experiment with stuff you learn from a tutorial, and don't need to do exactly everything a tutorial says. Tutorials often give me new ideas instead of making me copy what they do.
