# Okay, if you want constructive criticism, I'm happy to oblige.
Almost all of your drawings are in the same pose, though I have noticed you've moved from putting characters' hands behind their backs to having the hands visible. Don't forget you always have a reference for your hands right in front of you.
Though humans are differently-shaped we have common proportions. Once you have these memorised it becomes much easier to sketch out humans without references.

You seem to favour a cartoony style to a realistic one, but don't forget that you still have to learn the basics before you can distort. You have a manga-y vibe going on - don't fall into the woefully common trap of thinking that because manga is simplistic you can skip learning anatomy and proportion. John K's blog is an excellent resource for cartoonists: johnkstuff.blogspot.com/

Here's an excellent resource for human figure drawing: fineart.sk/ (may be NSFW, contains photos of nudes)

# Okay, thank you.
Yeah I've always had a bit of trouble with proportion, but I think I'm doing better than I was before.
I have been linked to John K before, but I've never seen that fineart site, so thanks.
