Description
Edit: Added Kimi's hair tie and shaded her clothes.--
Added a couple new characters. I felt as though I don't put enough effort into my art, so I did this for practice. I still see room for improvement though. I'd love a critique; specifically tells me what areas I need to improve in.
Here are the characters listed from left to right.

Well since you asked me so nicely to critique this, I'll do my very best to help you out a little!
First off, I just want to say your colouring is astonishing! You've got a very bold style for colours, and it's really been shown off nicely here! I especially love the blending you do between the shading and the flat's, it really softens out the colours and gives it a very clean feel! <3
I also just love the way you've drawn their expressions, and the eyes too, especially! I love the way you highlights eyes, really makes them pop right off the screen!
Alright, now onto something a little constructive.. you've got a good feel for anatomy, I personally love the anatomy on the Rosalie, her body frame is very in proportion, such as the hip-to-shoulder ratio and whatnot, you did a GREAT job on her! But something you could maybe work on is the arms/legs. Of course this all completely depends on your own personal style and whatnot, but I personally feel that for Nova, her left arm is a little too thick in comparison to the rest of her body. Such as how the fore-arm is almost the size of her thigh. You did an excellent job on Kimi's left arm though, the size/length and wrist size is just perfect, so maybe if you just put in a little extra time to make sure that your anatomy is consistent throughout the picture, since you're clearly VERY capable of accurate anatomy. <3
The only other constructive crit I could have for you is that the movement in Kimi and Nova are very well done, but it seems a little awkward in Rosalie's pose. I think if you had placed her right shoulder back a bit and perhaps flipped the hand around (so the palm was facing us), it might seem a little more natural.
But aside from those two things, I really think you have an excellent style and I definitely see you going somewhere with your work! It's clear you put a lot of effort into this, particularly that beautiful colouring, and you definitely deserve a lot praise for this job well done! <3333
I hope this is helpful in at least someway, I'm not too accustomed to critiquing others, so I hope it didn't come off as rude/offensive in any way because that's the last thing I meant by it! Just hope it could help atleast a bit. Keep up the amazing work! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="

Yeah, I was a bit lenient on Rosalie's position. I noticed that her hand is a bit small, too. Thank you for the advice. This is going to very helpful to me.
