If I were to be critical, I'd say to train your understanding of proportion. The 4th one down is an excellent example demonstrating construction, but it lacks perspective. You're viewing it(4th photo, 2nd pose) from a worm's eye view, but his head is much larger than it should be.
The stance itself also feels a bit skewed as it feels more like he's tip toeing or floating in mid-air. Try looking up things like 1-3 point perspective views. You'll find some common points that can help you identify problem spots within the flow of your work.
There's also anatomy and proportion. There's a problem with the orientation of your torso and more. One thing that I notice is that it feels more like torsion, but it'd be extremely visible in cloth lines and the tight clenching rope would cause many narrow fabric lines. The center guide down the face also seems to be sort of perpendicular to the camera, but there's the back area of the skull visible on only one side.
I'd try looking at some skeleton reference and practice drawing them at different degrees so that when the time comes that you need to articulate muscle from their origin to insertion, you're able to do so without worrying too much about the underlying foundation of the body.

:3 its pretty cool Nas keep it up

Looks good like usual ^.^

If you've got a Barnes & Nobles nearby and 20 dollars, you should grab a Grey's Anatomy book. : )

With all these new art post i decided to show my current progress.
Still have much to learn.
Also having problems figuring out the style of drawing i like and feel comfortable with.
But ah well patience is key or something :P

XD That looks familiar, keep it up lol. I shift styles too, slightly different over time.

So far--based on your last drawing--I'd say you're coming along nicely Nas. Just a quick question to satisfy my curiosity though -- what tools do you use to draw with? I'm getting the feeling of a led pen, but that might just be because of the large amounts of excess lines seen in your work. Do you simply clean up after you feel comfortable with the overall shape, aka erase the leftovers afterwards?

Yea a normal led pencil but im working on getting a mechanical pencil. And yea i usually "try" to clean up if i comfotable with it or just eave it to remind myself of the guide lines i use
-
Ahh, alright, I see. Good idea then -- leaving the traces of your past work behind as a reference.

Yeaa i have a tendancy to not be consistent with my drawings
-
When you're sketching, try not to go back and forth across your lines and when you have the opportunity, always use reference.

Yeah lumen speaks the truth, reference is very important, i use it in every piece i do. For example if you feel you have difficulty drawing a character in a particular pose, try and find that actual pose on google and essentially copy from it (dont trace)- you will find the more times you draw it, the better your own visual library/storage of that pose will be and you will be able to draw accurate versions of that from scratch in no time. The other major factor in creating realistic and believable images is lighting. What i have found is that you have to decide a light source consciously, then make sure you apply that light consistently across the image- again, the way the light impacts different materials should also be referenced.
Bit of inspiration below as well, the right image was done in late 2014, and left one 2015. Pretty much shows what differences you can achieve if you apply some of those techniques and knowledge, and bear in mind i barely do characters, as i prefer environments, so if you are drawing character every week, you will easily be able to surpass me in a year or two. Also, try out digital dude, once you get used to the advantages it brings are exponential.

Only just saw you drew my character, thanks! :D
All of these look great

Hey, dude. Just wanted to recommend you to Stan Prokopenko. I've been monitoring your thread and it most definitely seems like you'd benefit from a watch from his "Drawing Basics" section. It's a free watch on Youtube, but if you find him a good teacher, be sure too look more into him. Don't worry. It's actually pretty fun.
