Here are some things that will help you present yourself and be well recieved here. (Which gets you feedback because people find it easier to work with you.)

1- Leave creative typing styles at home. It's a waste of people's time to force them to decipher gibberish and shows that you don't have respect for the people here and what they're trying to do.

2 - Size your images so everything is clearly visible without scrolling around. If you don't have fine details, the images don't need to be so big as there isn't that much to see. Smaller sizes also will smooth your colour pencil and lineart and it will look cleaner.

3- Mount your pictures on the wall and take the photo so that without the zoom, the image fills the viewfinder. (I set my camera to 640x480 and then I don't have to worry about resizing after the fact.)

4- If you get close to the picture, use the macro setting. Also, use the indoor setting when indoors. It filters the light so you get white light in the image and takes away that discolouration.

I'm not exactly sure what style your going for but it appears to lean towards chibi art/anime. Regardless I'd suggest you study a little bit about general anatomy and practice your human forms. Good luck and I'm sure you'll do great.
