I see some works that can be more developed.
Give it a second whirl by transfering your sketches onto a nice clean piece of illustration board, then try to redraw everything and vary your line strokes! If your feeling a bit scared try this method, your probably familiar with it: it's called the carbon transfer. You get a piece of paper and scribble with a 2b pencil (using the side of the pencil) with strokes from left to right, up and down, horizontal and vertical strokes until you've completely filled the page with pencil shading. Also take notice as you scribble, see if you can vary your pressure to change the line quality or change the value of the pencil. After all that just get a piece napkin or something durable you can use to smear the whole thing together. place the paper (carbon side down) on a clean sheet of paper, place your sketch on it, and trace over your own work with a ballpoint pen (i use my micro pens that ran out of ink). If you don't want to harm your sketches, make a copy of it, then trace the copy onto a clean piece of paper.

your methods are my methods. You can only learn more.

Achilles arm looks a bit off. His right arm seems right (wow that was pretty lame) but his left looks like his right only the forearm is what makes it look left? That bicep should be goin towards him? Iono I' suck at these comments.

ROCK IT!! MORE!!! MORE MORE!

I can see you're still in a devloping stage, venture. They're nothing a lot of anatomical studies wouldn't fix. Also, do more practices on values.
I really like that "catman" picture. Here's something that you'l need to fix on him, though. His upper arems are wierdly shaped. The left side of his head (our right) seems to be bulging. The first curl on his tail is also looks flat. I also think you should add some muscle definition to his neck. Other than I don't have a lot of problem with. Just keep drawing and don't give up. You can only improve. :^^:
