Hey there and welcome! ^_^
The photobucket link wasn't working for me -_- but the others did.
The first advice I'm going to give you is to take up life drawing. It's a great skill to have no matter your level. Get a sketchbook and devote it entirely to observed drawing. Make sure you draw what you see, not what you think you see, you'll see improvements in no time.
Secondly, a lot of your work lacks structure, do you start with guidelines? They're amazingly useful as they allow you to plot out poses and make sure that you keep features in line and it helps with proportions.
You've got a good start, I hope to see more from you.
And if you haven't already, try signing up with a mentor, it's a great way to learn and to get to know folk.

Thanks Eejbeej
The photobucket works with the password under it.
I've actually always drawn freehand with no guidelines.
My sister does better art than me! cry

Oh...ha *blonde moment* I didn't even notice the password, sorry.

And don't compare your art to that of others, at least not too seriously. It'll always end in heartache. There will always be someone better than you and someone better than them, and then there's the issue of differing styles. So try not to let the work of others get you down. Learn from it if you can but know that your art is yours. You'll improve at your pace and your style will grow and it will be right for you.

Hahaha You rock. That so made my day.
I'm assuming this is just for fun, so unless you say otherwise, I'm not gonna put any crits on it. But thanks, you made me laugh.
