well, Please post smaller images if you are looking for a serious critique. Draw on some paper that is not made for straight writing. The lines are a killer and even if you do your best work ever, you will probably get laughed at if you use that in a portfolio. try and refer to some Andrew Loomis books and study some anatomy to learn how the human body is made up. remember you don't always have to draw a line to make one. very rarely you will find hard lines in life-drawing, rather light and shadow that help you to perceive where that line goes. try focusing on blocking in your shadows and you will naturally see much more depth and form to your subject matter. Keep drawing!

Great job but you may want to get a book on human anatomy to help you a bit with the facial features and body structure, those helped me alot in both areas, keep trying!

First, the quality of your paper should be the top priority, so get a decent sketching book, they are not expensive. Maybe buy or borrow some anatomy books? they are a lot of use i tell you. And just keep drawing, thats all i can say you right now, youre on a right track for coming here in the first place :)
Keep posting!
