Sachy75,

You have a really unique style kind of a fashiony cubism.
The problem is with some of them I don't know where to look. There is so much all over detail that makes them a little hard to look at (fine art wise this might be what you are going for).
I really like the way you stylize the faces but the anatomy from the neck down needs some help.
Overall I really like the style and I think you should keep going with it.
I recommend for you to try using reference from photos, practice drawing without the style to work on anatomy and general drawing skills, and experement with different media (like ink and watercolor). Also spend some time planing out your compositions a little. That way you don't run out of room and have to do funny cropping like chopped off heads and hands.

I hope that helps.

sachy75,

At first glance, I didn't care that you were only posting sketches. There's really no point to it, because it's just a bunch of doodles, right?

Then I scrolled down a bit, and your stuff started to take on a very striking flare. I must admit, your unique stylization really captured my eye...

Which lasted for all of 5 seconds.

Y A W N .

Now what? Beyond the fleeting novelty of the look of your work, I've lost interest. The only thing I want to see of yours from now on would be complete illustrations. If all you post are your doodles, then it really gets you nowhere. It's very difficult to critique someone's scribbles, when the scribbles are just simple exercises of you moving your pencil back and forth.

You have such a great opportunity here to learn from good experienced people, and you're going to only post sketches? Come on, I know you can do more than that!

You have very good skills. So why don't you do actual full illustrations, which would challenge yourself, and would give others ACTUALLY SOMETHING to critique?

Otherwise, I promise you, you're just wasting time.

There's no point in trying to critique someone's "pretty pictures" doodles.

Good luck!
