Traditional Art Some drawings I've done

Hello again, KHV. I don't think I've ever submitted any of my drawings on here, so here is my debut!.
I will say first and foremost, I do NOT trace, but I DO look at reference pictures. So most of my pictures aren't from memory. Sorry about that, but I have a terrible time with anatomy >.<! I'll mention if I used a reference or not.

These pictures date back as early as June 2010, the order I'll go is earliest to latest. Most are colored with Copics.
Also, most of these are huge, so I'll put them in spoilers. Sorry >.<!!

Coloring is done with Copics. Overall, it's very messy, there's even a little blue dot on her index finger. I used a reference, it's found here: http://images.wikia.com/aceattorney/images/c/c1/Pearl_and_Her_Ball.jpg
I'm not really satisfied with this picture, but it isn't HORRIBLE either.

Oh Hetalia.
This is America from Hetalia. I discovered Hetalia in July 2010, and I still like it to an extent.
His mouth is WAAAAY off-center, I know. Wish I had done more with the hair, too.
I DO like the way I colored his coat, very much so. I hate how I made his hand, it's not very visible. Colored with Copics.

Holy sh*t, in two days from now, it will have been a YEAR since I've drawn this. Unbelievable.
Anyways, I'm REALLY proud about this picture. I did use a reference (I can't find it anymore), but what I'm most proud of is the coloring! Especially his hair, even if it's not shaded.
The colors are plain, yet they stand out somewhat. Also, it's not as messy, yay! :)
Colored with Copics.

This was requested for one of my old friend's birthday, to draw Sora. I tried drawing normal Sora, didn't work at ALL. So, he said just draw a Sora looking cute. SO I DID, IN PLUSHIE FORM.
I /attempted/ shading, still came out pretty bad. Overall I'm happy with the pose and everything, even if it does look a little strange. Coloring isn't THAT messy, either.
No reference was used. Colored with Copics.

This is purely silly, I know, but this was for a grade in my English class. We had to take a sentence that had missing words from it and draw it out in a picture. "We saw a raccoon coming home from the movies". We named the raccoon RALPH. It was a lot of fun, I can say that!
No reference was used, and colored with colored pencils.
Whoops my last name is in there, oh well now you guys have a nickname for me, eh? And yes, that is my actual handwriting, didn't try to make it fancy or anything.

One of Glen's birthday presents, I drew it back when my tablet wasn't sh*t!
Blurgh, my arm and handdddd. That bugs me sooooo much. Other than that I'm satisfied with it!
Drawn and colored in Paint Tool SAI, no reference used (except for Glen, in which I had a picture from his Facebook. I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate it if I linked it up here. <3)

This was requested as well, it's Glen's OC, Gexln.
No shading done on it, I felt I might ruin the picture if I did. No reference, either. Colored with Copics.
Overall, it's plain. The colors and the pose, nothing really special about it.
I don't really know how I feel about this one, whether I feel it's bad or good... oh well.

Really, really, REALLY proud with this picture. I didn't use a reference, and this was colored with colored pencils.
I shaded the hat, jacket, cravat, skin, and a little bit of the eyes. I didn't shade the hair, I felt that it popped out more without any shading.

I know what I did wrong on most of these, but if you see anything else on any of the pictures that I should improve on, please point it out!
Also, is there any sense of improvement in these at all? I'm curious to find out.
Anyways, I hope I didn't rape your eyes. Thank you for looking at my pictures. :)

 

OOh, I quite like these. I see why you are proud of the November one. I like the unique nose, it adds to the characteristic.

I think on the Gexln one, the Collarbones seem a little bit too defined, but besides that, I like it.

Also, about your last name, you will now be known as Handcock.

 

Dawhh thank you, Petter :D!!
Ahh, I get what you said about the collarbone. I'll work on that, thanks :D!

Only Glen calls me Handcock I mean oooooh~

 

Quite nice. I like the September one most of all, a unique style had going on there.​

 

Really? Thank you :D!!

 

Oh these are lovely <3 c:

I really really love your traditional ones. Your colouring is very neat actually and it's very nice to look at. (PLUS COPICS OMG HEHE)
I do have a suggestion. I love how you drew the December 22nd 2010 hair on the guy. It's very cute. But on the others it seems like their hair is stuck on a place or something. Try adding fluidity to hair because gravity works too (well, maybe not on people like Sora...).

I do have a question... did you take photos of these? Cause if you did, then good job xD I can never take decent photos of my drawings. But I do suggest a scanner c: They're mighty~ But overall, great job! These are adorable n__n

 

Thank you!! :D

The hair stuck on a place... I can see what you're saying, but I don't really know how to improve that. Any tutorials/videos you could link me to on that?

Yesss, I took photos of them on my phone. Trust me, I tried scanning them, they came out too dark. The colors were all nasty and everything, it looked very... ew. D: Haha, I would scan them if I had a good enough scanner.

Again, thank youuuuu<3!!

 

I've always liked your drawings, you're really talented at drawing. They're all very good, and of course my favourite's the one you drew for my birthday :) it's still just as awesome as it was the first time i saw it. That first one, before i saw the signature, i thought was copied and pasted off another website. It really does look professional o.o

 

Thank you :D!!

I probably should remake the one I did for your birthday.. AS PART OF YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENT. In that pic, the arms and hands bug me, but I'm glad you like it :)

Well I didn't copy it, but I followed the reference very closely, haha! Thank you :)
