Hi there. I'm new here. Thought I'd introduce myself with some sketches. I'm trying to improve, so criticism is very welcome, and if you point me towards your work, I'll happily return the favor

3 recent things to start. This first one was an unusual pose for me, and I don't think I quite pulled it off.

This next one's a mess. I was working on several different things and I don't think I put them together very well.

Finally, one I'm pretty happy with, gonna be a big digital painting i think.
