I'm wondering if you could guys give me some "inspiration" (Lawl) and some help. If you could, please point to me the places where I draw awkwardly and where the coloring needs improvement, blah blah. Something like that ;>

Here are some of my drawings:
1. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/kcana/imagecopy.jpg
-This is a semi chibi I've done months ago.

2. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/kcana/illuminatescopy.jpg
-This is the very first avatar art I've done for this style :]

3. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/kcana/avatarartcopy.jpg
-My most recent "male" artwork. They're seriously very hard to do. ;>

The first one looks very nice. When I saw it, I was like "She needs improvement? O_O;" The whole way it turned out makes it look professional, and cute.

I'd have to say the second one could use some anatomy work. It's not too bad, but the bust, hips, and legs just don't seem right to me.
Two awkward spots are the tail and the hair. I think it's just part of the style you draw as opposed to mine, but I tend to like things more flowy. (Sorry if any of this seems harsh, I don't mean to be) You draw faces and hands very well, and your coloring it amazing.

Yes, they are hard to draw. But you've managed to draw one of the toughest placest to start, the face. I honestly don't think there's much wrong with it, the only thing I'll point out is the coloring for the shine on the hair. I like scribble stuff, but I don't know if it works for that place.

Very nice surprised
I love the way you draw faces, the face looks great on all three. I agree theres a little something anatomically off with the second one... The hands are lookin' good too.
And something a lot of people have trouble with when coloring is hair, but I think the first two the coloring on the hair is really great.
Your shading is alright, you're definantly on the right track, but I'd suggest looking at a couple of tutorials and taking in some of things that they're saying.
But if each art was in the order that you colored it, I'd definantly say theres imporvment in the coloring, the coloring on the skin on the male is great, but I'm not sure if his hair came out as good as the other two O:

Sorry if I went too much, but I hope you find this helpful! heart

You weren't harsh at all :] I really appreciate your comment to what you think of my art honestly. Anatomy is hard for me especially when the clothes are revealing...when skin is shown too much, I tend to lose the anatomy. Lawwwl!

I personally think I am disappointing when it comes to coloring. I know I can do better...but I need LOTS of practice still sad

Your thought is much appreciated! <3 <3

I'll have to practice more on coloring and anatomy :] Thank you for making me realize that those are my weak points.

Your reply is greatly appreciated! <3 <3

Actually for your stylized drawings your anatomy isn't really bad at all. The problem is foreshortening. The proportions on your characters seem accurate enough to compliment your style.
Foreshortening.

I really like the hair and the eyes on your first picture. What program are you using? do you draw and scan or just draw on your computer?
