Some of my sketches (looking fore critique)

[Happyleaf]

Here are some sketches I did (using sketchbook pro 2.0)




Comments, advice, or critique?

[goliard]

The main criticism I have is that they all look a bit bland. Experiment with, say, making the octopus look scary, or use some lighting on the bottom characters to make them look sheepish or frightened. Challenge yourself -- spill some ink on the paper and turn it into a creature, scribble down a collection of random colours and make them into a composition. I don't know, but it seems like you are well within your "comfort zone" at the moment; artistically, you don't want to spend too much time there...

Well you have proportions & frames down.
I quite like these, "simplified and cutsie" - Fluffy and fun.
I'd like to see some of your experimental works. Pretty much as golliard said.

those sketches have very simplified shapes (round, smooth, easy). And giving critique means for me usually guiding someone into a new or different direction.
So my suggestion would be to experiment with more details and more complex shapes/ situations. The more details you add the more the character speaks to a viewer.

perhaps I´ll post some samples of what I mean later

[renderhjs]

with details I meant something like this:


and with the octopus I thought that it would be a good sketch to color and playing with lights

though these are just some rough examples ,- anyway if I had pick 1 point ´d say you could improve the details
