Okay, so this was kind of an all nighter, I know it's not that good but practice makes perfect.
Characters are:
Middle: Uzumaki, Naruto
Top left: Some snake thing
Bottom left: DR. Doppler Cain
Left middle: Body reference
Bottom right: Holly at otafest (To make up for the other one lol )
Very cute and a good attempt for a first try, but since you wanted advanced critique, then I won't put icing on what I think.
Fisrt of all the bodies need to be stalkier, I mean youh ave the correct hight if they were children around the age of 6-7, but for older characters you need to make them taller so people know they are older.
Secondly are the hands-- yes hands are very complicated things to draw and it can take quite some time for even the best of artists to master drawing hands. I give you points for drawing the thumbs on the correct side [my biggest downfall..haha], but just doing that won't cut it. I can tell that they are hands but they don't exactly look like they have joints in them, which slightly bothers me. Take Narutos hand that is holding the kunai. I can understand taht he is holding it but his bent fingsers just look too long...practicing hands just by themselves on a piece of paper will help aot..hands can be one hell of a challenge to draw!
Thirdly the clothing I noticed that you didn't put any wrinkles or creases in them which is fine and all but when you add creases and take a little more time just to put in wrikles or frills or whatever on your characters clothing it will enhance your drawing more then you think.
Okay, I seem to be bitching about everything and I'm sorry [I know this is your first realistic] but you also should put in shadows where the source of light wouldn't hit them. Just like details on clothing, adding even a little bit of shadows will enhance your picture.
Finally the eyes. You should give them more of a round quality to make it look more like human eyes.
Like I said before, you did a good job for a first try and you are trying something new and I'm sorry if I'm being a little tough. It really helps to actually look at references like magazines or go to the park and do quick sketches of people there or even use yourself as a reference whilst drawing. Keep up the good work and remeber..the more you practice, the better you'll get
Thanks a lot for being honest, I like that about you..now I'm not trying to just defend myself but, I put all creases and shadows..it was way to light though and wouldn't show up when scanned...But your definitley right about the height thing..Hands can be SO tricky, why do you think the simpsons only have 4 fingers?
And no, your not being a bitch, don't worry okay^^
PS: Yeah my eyes suck, mainly b/c they're normaly straight lines lol..the base for the eyes was inspired from the symbol for sigma if you could tell^^
I think you don't need critique of any kind, you just need to practice. There is nothing I can say, because the flaws in your drawings aren't minor, they're the entire drawing. There isn't any tip I can give or a certain section I can tell you to put specific attention on.
