Your style is pretty bitchin' and unique in my opinion. You've got some serious (albeit, messy) talent. Kakakakaka guy kinda has no package, or isn't well endowed, although I know that's your style of legs, I wouldn't use it on guys too much.
Your faces are superb as far as everything's positioned, and your hair's pretty good too.
Try cleaning up some of your stuff (like the first one) and it'll be awesome.

Foreshortening on the first one isn't great, looks like the right arm is just a forearm. The body in that one seems very flat and skewed, I think some darker shading on the torso would help that.
Second one needs a darker outline around the feet (unless he's wading through water or something in which case you need to make that more obvious)
I don't think #3 is "too dark" at all apart from that single strand of hair that goes from the crown of the head down to the fringe next to the eye on the left. It looks too much like a definite outline and makes the hair to the right of it seem as though it could be part of the forehead until you see the comparitively faint outlines of the fringe itself.
Numbah four is fantastic. Looks like you smudged the eyes a bit though D:
Hope that all made sense.

Really? I think the pose on Number One is good, actually. All her limbs, the arch of her back, they all make sense (at least to me). The only thing I don't like about it is that her face seems slightly skewed - but that's a minor thing, and easily fixable if you've got the time.
The rest are all looking pretty good. Nice manly chin on Number Four. :)

I didn't like the first so much, mainly because it was too messy to figure out at first.
I like your style though, it just kind of need a bit polishing. As in, your lines on the paper doesn't always look too safe as if you're not completely sure how to do something and find out as you go.
The second shows the fact you need some polishing, but I guess it's okay otherwise.
The third and fourth look alright, but it shows you need to learn a lot about the anatomy of the face. Try and draw skulls from different angles. Really gives some insight in how the head works.

Thanks everyone :D I guess the major thing I should be working on right now is cleaning up my works. For some reason I avoid using erasers, and that shows.
And the fact that my men have female frames is definitely a reoccuring problem... Which I sadly still have not rectified.
Crystal clear exetra :)
I'll definitely try some skulls plate. I've been meaning to pick up one of those anatomy books which shows like all the muscles and stuff for study. Anatomy isn't as important with my stylized works but my lack of understanding there really shows in more realistic works.
Oh, and Matt, I swear there's a muscular guy or two floating around in my sketchbook . One day I'll have the courage to post them D:
They're sketches you should show us something that's a little more filled in. I like the use of lines but it's a little anime-ish...i.e. not a lot of detail
but if that's what you're going for then I guess it's good.

#1: The proportions between the head and body are out of whack. Make the head smaller or make the body larger.
#2: Fill that mother fucker out. It's a guy, not a girl with flat tits. (I hope)
#3: I'd suggest covering up her ear with some hair, it just kind of sticks out unnaturally. Also, the hair on her right makes it looks like she's having a bad hair day. Pull that in towards her head so it doesn't look so awkward.
#4: This is fine.

The ear is too far forward. It needs to be farther back on her skull. Her head is angled, so the ear needs to be higher, as well. On the third image, "babababa" or whatever you called it.
The legs on your first figure are too short. Otheriwse, it's not bad.

Amazing Talent Emo! WOW
Most are pretty good and there's no real use giving you more critique cause most people have already covered the important part. Be less messy(Eraser's are your friends =]) try to get proportions better(Good anatomy makes people look like real people) and I guess those are the major things to look out for. But there's just one thing really, about the second drawing. All I have to say is, poor poor crotchless boy =[

I would feel kinda awkward drawing the crotch of a figure so maybe that's why the second drawing is badly endowed :S

In my opinion, Number one was perfect as is. It's just fun to look at, messiness included, and it's got a unique style to it.
There seemed to be something off in the third drawing but I can't quite put my finger on it...

Hahaha. That's probably a contributing factor in a way- I never really feel comfortable drawing that sort of thing. Even with breasts and stuff- I feel weird drawing the chest area in front of an audience and try to avoid the whole scenario.
Although, that's probably got more to do with the fact that they shout 'Boobies!' as soon as I've finished illustrating them.

I find that if you draw it without any intent on actually showing it to anyone you can get over the fact that you're drawing boobies or penuses. So if you find that it's the fact that you don't want people to see that you drew such things, try just drawing it in "private". Not in a creepy "Lol I'm drawing my own porn" kind of way, just when no one is watching you draw. And you need to seriously draw them too. Just to get used to it, you'll probably get over it and once you've done that then you don't have to worry about your drawings having no privates :D
Anyways, you don't draw nude people so it doesn't really matter that much. But I'd still say try to get over it so that you can draw a guy with an actual package and girls with more then just A sized cups.
Overall, not bad. I think if you continue to draw, maybe adding in some slight color, they could be really fantastic.

I love all your drawings! The second one kind of scared me because it reminded me of the baby eater from Pan's Labyrinth (http://www.toxicshock.tv/interviews/doug_jones/doug_pans_labyrinth1.jpg).

It can help. Understanding how the naked body is shaped will also make clothed bodies that much better.
For anyone who wants to draw people better, you could try attending a life drawing class. It's not actually a 'class' though, because there's no teacher - you and a bunch of other people just sit in a circle around a naked person and spend a couple hours drawing them. Most of the models aren't half-bad looking, either - a lot of dancers and the like make appearances, because they have nice, trim bodies. You'd rarely get some wrinkly old fatass.
Hats of!

The thing I love about these peices the most is the posture. It's really hard to get normal-lookin' postures.
I tend to practice with stick-mens, but they barley look that good.
I salute you!
