All of your comfort zone seems to be graphic anatomical,, and graphic children. I was wondering have you tried any other category or styles (organic, anatomical, mix, and heroic, realistic, or animal?)?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Can you explain, or give some examples?

        The hair on the freebie one is awesome, very detailed and nice, but the head is a little to long? (I believe that's the word I'm looking for)
        This is what I mean;

        The face just looks a little far over c:
        And of course the neck would need to be a big bigger to compensate~

        But other than that, the rest of your headshots look great :]

Pick something you've never drawn and draw it.

I agree with him. No one can get very far without leaving home (comfort zone).

This sums it up without me explaining majority of the aspects of concept art lol XD

Woah, lots of replies. Haven't checked back in ages, thanks muchly for the comments!

@Errol McGillivray: I understand what you're saying...will think about it. I draw for fun, and would rather prefer the drawing process be relaxing rather than stress-inducing, if you know what I mean.

@thug to the limit: Yes, it makes sense now, thank you.

@Umbra Tiger: Aha...I see what you're getting at. Thanks for the helpful pic!

Nice, strong, silhouettes on these. Especially the first one.

From the top of her head, draw a line straight down. This is called a "plumb line". Where it hits the floor is where her foot needs to be in order for her to balance herself.

The second is cute, but cut the coat back a little where it crosses the sword. When you black it all in, we should see that he's holding the sword. The coat would cover that up. I would also suggest keeping the floor flat in perspective. This will bring him off the page a little.

Hiya Errol, thanks for the detailed crit! (and explanatory diagrams, too!)
I get what you mean by the first - she doesn't look so balanced.
The second threw me completely on a loop though...I'm guessing you mean the right foot should be bigger than the left, as it is closer to the 'front'.
I could be wrong.
