Lets start with the lineart pieces:

You're anatomy, and proportions needs work.

*The necks are too long
*The facial proportions are wrong, it's all face, which the human is not.

I suggest you study the human head, facial feature proportions, and where they lay. You can use your own head as reference, others, or photo references. Try marking way they lay with a ruler.

You could also try drawing the human skull to have a better understanding of the proportions.

They're also good anatomy books for head proportions, and skull structure:

I would highly recommend Andrew Loomis's Drawing The Head, And Hands.

It also shows you the difference in male, and female, young, and old facial proportions, and structure.

I also notice your arm anatomy is lacking, and you hide the hands.

You should never hide the hands, it will not make you any better.
I suggest learning the muscle, and skeletal structure of hand, and how they move. If you have a better understanding you will be able to draw them, same can be said about the arm anatomy.


Like said before, drawing your own, others, anatomy books, or photo references will help you. They're also plenty of online resources to help you, because we all learn differently.

Books I would recommend are:

Drawing Dynamic Hand by Burne Hogarth
The Loomis one as mentioned before because it's also about hands Anatomy for the Artist:Sarah Simblet.

Because it covers all anatomy, including the muscle, and skeletal structure.

I also noticed your stances, are very stiff.

Figure drawing can help, from life if possible.

If not try doing quick sketches of the human form naked, from photo references. It helps loosen your lines up, and with a lot of hard work can make your poses full of life.

I appreciate your critical feedback to this topic. And I used to be so good on the drawings of the human body, but I've been abstract since then.  

But thank you! <3
