I'd normally offer some feedback, but your art-style's very smooth, very cutesy, which isn't really in my realm to criticise. But really, I couldn't criticise it anyways - the stuff looks great, even the shading's spot on!
I like you Shotte, you're a cool dude, but this is where I have to put down my foot and disagree with you.
crtitque incoming!
Sure, this does have some positive things to it, and I know feedback that only points out the positive is pleasing to read through, but that isn't what makes one develop as an artist. One need to point out the flaws too if the artist himself doesn't see them.
Now then, let's go through the positive first. As Shotte did say, it has this cutesy feel to it. Lineart is smooth and stylized in a way. You're following anatomy nicely, hands below waist, legs as long as torso and elbows are at the optimal height, which is very good.
But..
To sugarcoat it -- It is still not something you'd want to travel across the world just to spread the word about these drawings.
Shading is
not "spot on". The idea about where the light is coming from is okay, but the execution is not. Even though you might say "but it's my style", it's too weak. Shadows is not something you can just plop on as just a line on the other side of the object in question. If you're not using the shade to show how the object is shaped, at least have more. It is not a good thing to be "afraid of the dark". In drawing, it is better to have "too much" shadows, rather than too little. Personally, I don't think you can get "too much" shadows =w= So to begin with, jsut to get out of your comfort-zone, try applying more shadows in upcoming drawings. Experiment with 'em! Add shadows where you feel uncomfortable about adding shadows just to see how it looks. make them show how the object is shaped like, as in if the object has a glossy texture, it's smooth, if it's a round surface, make the shadow bend like the object bends.
Highlight is also something for itself, as you shouldn't treat it the same way as you treat shadows. It's usually not the same amount of highlight as it is shadows on a drawing, but don't be afraid to use it. Just be carefull that you don't overdo it.
Enough about the shadows and hghlight.
There is another matter I'd like to see you improve at.
How you draw your characters is an issue. They all has a very static pose, and is frankly, boring to look at. Make them do more varied stuff! One could pose as if it's falling, ready to hit the ground with its feet. One could stand ready to battle, one could be jumping, one could have a slightly different falling pose where it's kinda floating while lying on its back etc. Make it intresting to look at, and you'll be sure to make way more people intrested in your work.
I could nitpick at your lineart, saying it's kinda bulky and really thick which could become a hindrance later when you want smaller details. What I WILL say though, is that you should at least start practicing with thinner lineart, just to give yourself a head-start to when/if you really decide that you need it.
Overall, I can see a style is starting to develop, which is good, but it's
developing and still needs work. You've taken some of the few first steps. congrats. Keep it up and work on your flaws, and I'm sure you'll improve drastically.
Keep up the good work and have a nice day~
