ok.. my critique: xD
on the most of your pics the characters just stand "arround" lol
I know poses are difficult but you can use references
then...
hmm the lines look bleeded?! do you use some cheap fineliner?
when you use a pen from stabilo- do not! XD I used them when I was younger
and they ruined my pics- after some time the lines bleeded and when I used colour pencils for the colouring the whole pic looked like you tiped a glass with water or something- just blurred XD and the black colour of the pen is not really black it's more brown
copic multiliner is better not cheap but better
..
next point..
u used copic marker ..
If you don't have the money to buy every colour for shades and so on
you can use colour pencils
if you use them you can make some structure on the pic
-on the skin it will look like pores
and you can make the character more 3D looking
...
on this pic I would say you could colour the red/yellow wing with colour pencils
then the transition is better. or u use copic 0(blender)
......
hmm sorry I don't know if it helps you
I'm not good in giving good critique- just bad critique XD"

And I already kinda know about my poses I'm working on them, I have a hard time doing different poses even if I do use references (just looks kinda wrong down on the paper compared to the reference)
I use good pens, I don't use just flat black for outlining things. I use a brown Prismacolor fineliner (it's running out of ink so the lines are a bit blah, couldn't find one at the hobby store last time we were there) to ink my drawings (no black here).
I had used colored pencils for quite some time with my markers when I only had Prismacolor markers but I draw kinda small so it's hard to get a skin texture in such a small space with colored pencils.

hm.. maybe u should construct the body -even you have some reference
something like that?- [link]
I have to use this technic too
my teacher gave me some better contruction template
I could scan it later-
ah ok XD brown pen explains the brown lines lol
and which paper?
if you use normal paper for printers- this could explain the blurred lines + small drawing
maybe you need layout paper or just some coated paper
how small is your drawing? really that small that it is impossible to use colour pencils?

I've been using a method slightly like that to construct the bodies lately. A kind of kidney bean shape to the body, a smallish ovel for the ribcage and a wider oval for the hips. And then mostly just tubes for the arms and legs if I'm having trouble drawing them.
The face is about as small as a US nickel (maybe slightly smaller depends on the drawing) so it's kinda hard to give super small details with colored pencils.
I use both britol and card stock for my drawing, just depends on if I feel like killing my markers or not (the bristol really sucks my markers dry). I blend a lot with my markers and I've had semi-coated paper before to color on and I just don't like the feel of it with my markers, I'd rather have something that sucks up the color rather than repels it. The lines are mostly bleedy looking because my pen is almost out of ink I need a new one but they didn't have any at Hobby Lobby the last time I was there.
