Hi there from   Im here to check out your drawing!

First impressions:
I love these characters! Your way of drawing hair is really smooth and flowing and I just love the look.I like the variety in hair colour too, ginger yes but so many different kinds! ^^

Strengths:

       1.) Anatomy:
It looks great! You for sure have your own style made up and that show sin these side by side drawings. they all have their own features but the style stays the same so that's a great thing! The pointed chins is a common thing in these that's for sure. The facial composition is all placed very well, with the eyes, nose and even freckles being lined up in a good and correct spot!

       2.) Accessories:
  The crowns and tiaras look just lovely, with all of them having a different one it really makes each character have another factor of uniqueness of their own!^^ I applaud that and recommend you keep that in their designs. While viewing the old one I noticed they had cloths before, I think this could have looked even better if those would have been added even more to each of these ginder-blond characters

       3.) Eyes and Hair:
the way you draw eyes has a noble but almost cute look to them. Each of these characters expressions shows in their eyes which is great to give them an attitude. As I had also mentioned earlier the way you draw hair is truly wonderful! every character has their own set of flowing short, long, sharp and/or soft hair that is a true set apart when they all line up like this and I cant say it enough well done

 Things To Work On:

       1.) Same face Syndrome:
I don't know if you have heard of this but it can be a killer. Ill leave a video for you to learn more but I will shortly explain it too
Video:  www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj1956…
So basically its what it sounds like, every character the person draws has different trains but then their face, well it looks the same as all the others. this a very common and big problem in art and I am seeing it a bit in your characters. none of them have any different shapes when it comes to faces, their noses are all places very similarly and their eyes a bit different but the expression shown are all somewhat similar as well. This can turn a great character design kind of boring as it makes them not stand out from one another! I would for sure recommend doing expression practice sheets and watching videos on SFS (though you don't have to) because it can become a very bad habit.
Here are some expression sheets for you to look at:
     

Make sure to use the characters who face from mouths, to eyes to the eyebrows everything is usable and important! Also changing their face shapes based on things like masculinity, being skinny or fat and so on can help to really set your character apart from one another.

Overall:
Its really great! You have improved many things compared to the old one, your style has improved, you have personified all these character much more and there is still so much to learn I hope some of the things I said will be able to assist you in drawing more and remember you will only get better!~

Hello, commenting on behave of ProjectComment ´s Big comment contest.

About composition - I think that this is very nice way of showing/introducing the appearance of all characters at once. It´s also simple way to keep this reference on the same place. Also, I like that heads are drawn in different heights, I suppose it means that the characters are differently tall/short.

The colouring looks also nice. The shading is rather simple, but I don´t think that it´s affecting the picture too much. The blush added on their faces creates the first impression of shading and take attention from the fact that the rest of picture has very little shading.

Hello, I'm here from ProjectComment !!
Starting off, I love how wide the range of characters are, and how they all look different yet related at the same time!! Your style is amazing, and compliments the characters nicely. The wide range of crowns is also very cool, I would never have the patience or creativity to create so many. The simplicity of it all is also very nice, they have just enough detail w/out making it too complex. Overall, this is a very nice piece, and I encourage you to keep up the great work!!

Hello. I found your characters through    As you mentioned, this is an improved image, I will take the original picture into account. 

Your characters all look nicely distinguishable, and their relationship is still apparent, for me, primarily through the eyes, eyebrows, and basic face shape. Where I am missing similarity, under the guess that all of them are of the same kingdom, is in the crown. Their designs are lovely, but if they are a row of emperors, leaders, etc. with an ongoing tradition in the family, I would have expected to see one or two central reoccurring elements in the crown. Like a family crest, a specific gemstone their kingdom identifies with, etc. 

For anatomy, I can not find any issues. The only thing looking weird to me is the hairdo of the third person from the right. The left bang of hair ( from viewers perspective) seems to cut off a piece of the face as you only used very mild shading. Similar with the second person from the left. The curly hair seems to cut in the face. 

For the improvement, the anatomy and overall character design seem much more elaborate here. Still, what I liked about the previous image that is missing here is the shading and the individual poses of the characters. In the previous image, they look more lively and interesting. Here their different personalities are almost unnoticeable. 

Still, an impressive character design with noticeable improvement.

Looking good! In this version it is easier to tell everyone apart (which is great because I am virtually face blind). The variety of crown designs is always impressive
