I like them! 3nodding They're actually pretty good. There are, however, some problems with them. I know this is long, but bear with me. And it's not that bad. mrgreen
Boy:
Well, his shoulders are perhaps too square. This may be attributed to the coat though, depending on what kind it is. However, males' shoulders tend to slope a little more (and a little more evenly, it may be the angle of the shot confused ). Also, the collar on the coat is very strange. Does it just kinda go up? To make it less confusing you could darken your lines a little. If it's a traditional collar then you could look at a tuxedo or something and draw that type of thing and work on the fold-y over part, but if it's supposed to be short and just stick up then there should be a difference in the jacket from the collar down (like have the collar go straight down right there and when it reaches the actual coat it goes at a 90* angle or something inward toward the chest about a mm, then drop downward; if that made no sense and you'd like to understand you can PM me). The picture is still a good one. Don't worry. I like it. It's got cool hair and a nice style to it.
Girl:
For the girl, her face should be brought up a little I think 'cause it looks like her face has that sort of effect where things may start falling off the edges soon. Her head may also be a little too short, but that may be attributed to the face thing. Her boobs could be defined a little more I think (rounding them a little more, they have a kinda funny shape). It'd be nice to see some defining features on the neck as well (like lines to represent those two major muscles in your neck). Oh! And at her elbows, drawing the elbow nub will help it look a little more real and help with the depth of the arm (as well as curving the tops of the forearms a bit). Overall, a pretty good picture.
boy 2:
The shoulders are a bit too broad; that's why the connecting from the torso to the arms is a bit awkward. shorten the shoulders and adjust the lines so they are still at present thickness (you can connect the lines into the torso; you don't have to go and immediately connect the lines where you did. Sometimes our arms hide a little behind our torso's). That doesn't mean you should just draw the arm directly into the torso (that wouldn't be good), but just try to maintain the proper thickness of the arm and flow it back to the body without worrying about existing lines, then erase whatever overlaps. Also, your guy is kinda scrawny/curvy. I'm not sure if that's bad or good. I don't think it's too much of a problem, but you can still look up anatomy pictures to make more manly curves. rofl The feet and hands look unfinished (that was probably on purpose? If not, then just draw details on the shoe and draw knuckles on the hand, and ask for help for the rest if needed). Those are the main things I saw. The collar is still off. Don't be down about all these things. You don't have to correct them all at once. I'm just giving you some things to think about in the future.
girl2:
Last one! Okay, the same face problems as before. I also don't know the angle of the pic so some of the face problem can probably be attributed to a weird angle (though I think it's not just the angle of the camera even if there is a weird angle). The skirt looks a little odd on the sides. I'm really not good at making those types of skirts though so I'm sure someone else can help you with that. The outermost lines of the skirt (all the way on the left and all the way on the right are too straight and the curvy-ness of the bottom of the skirt should vary a little more throughout I think. Again, check what other people say). The boots are really cool lookin'. Maybe add a couple lines in there to show the transition from leg to foot (so, basically, the ankle; you can usually identify it even through cool, long boots rofl ). Perhaps more creases in the shirt (I'm not very good at them so help from another would be wise) and a different shirt line than the tie (they kinda just merged there and usually you can see the top of the shirt over/under the tie being worn). The belt, since it has that baggy effect, should look a little less form fitting. Those lines at the ends of the belt, change those so they're not matching the body shape. And it would be nice to see parts of her hand. However, I like her pose and her outfit and hair are cute together. 4laugh
I'm sure I'll probably be the only one to put so much down (I tend to type A LOT if you hadn't already noticed sweatdrop ), and you have made it through my comment so you should be fine. Don't worry; every picture by anyone has it's flaws. Just continue to draw. You're good at it. 3nodding And Good Job critiquing/helping, anybody else who comes in and does so.
By the way, Carpe Jugulum, I love the username. It's hilarious! rofl

What you said i think is true (the angle of the girl pic is a little off, sorry) and will help me alot. The two drawing are the main people in a manga that I hope to get published, do you think I'm anywhere good enough to get published, and do you have any tips on how to get published??? the boys collar is supposed to be like the japanese boys school uniforms also your one of the only people to understand my username thanks for all ur help heart heart sweatdrop 3nodding

I don't really know how to get published since I've never actually considered getting published myself, but I think maybe you should do some practice panels and such (draw them in situations where sometimes they're in profile mode and/or in different poses, and if you can draw those the way you want) then post some examples on dA or on here or whatever and then ask more people for advice. That's what I think.

How long have you been drawing? And if you want to get published practice drawing the body a little more so it won't be squarish looking and work on a story, if you don't have one already. Also try different poses and and views (such as front view, side view, and 3/4 view), but you off to a good start. Just keep practicing.
