They are really good, you appear to have a good eye for proportion.
Are these from photos? Or real people?
If I'd make one little suggestion, it'd be to make the dark bits darker, and the light bits lighter. It's all very midtoney. Maybe picking up one of those graphite pencils for ultra blackness would be good.
The middle picture with the pointy earred types is getting there.

:) Keep it up!

Very good. It's hard to draw faces realistically. Yours look real.

Drawspace.com has some great tips and drawing exercises.

cool! i dont really like the first one, the middle one is okay, and the last one is pretty good. im not a pro, i draw for fun as well, so i cant really give u any tips but keep it up!

I love the 1st drawing.
good job, I can't draw for my life unfortunately

those drawings suck. shading is all wrong, and faces look cartoonish. fix it.

they're not ok
they're great
you have a fantastic talent

They are very good!!! they are so realistic! i could never draw something like that. you are very talented. :)

They look great. Wow.

You could adjust the lighting (set up a lamp) so darks and lights are accentuated. This will make for better contrasts and shading opportunities.

Also you can choose challenging subject matter to refine your skills. And don't be afraid to experiment with different techniques: outline only (no shading) only shading (no lines) cross hatching for shading, using dots or fingreprints to develop image a la Chuck Close. Try depicting water, glass, a flower, parts of the body in detail.

Just keep drawing and painting.

You have a lot of talent; the porpartions and shading are fantastic. My only recommendation is to not get lazy on uniform areas, such as the girls hair in the first drawing- The face is superb, but the hair doesn't have the same detail.

Great job, and keep it up!

great realism!

my only suggestion would be to not be afraid to make even darker shadows. It'll give your drawings more confidence and variety!

they are good...u have a lot of potential...your proportions are well done......u might want to work on the shading...try to achiece more contrast like from the eye to skin color....good work

Your drawings are great for 16 year old I thought that it was by 21 year old keep working on it the third picture I just think if its a girl make the hair longer and guys hair shorter other than its an awesome picture. And do the world a favor and become an artist Keep working on the areas that your weak in and don't give up on your art dream

you need to work on shading but other than that they look good.
