if i could say anything it would be to practise the facial proportions a bit more to the overall size if the head,
try drawing your friends or yourself in the mirror as often as you can, its a better practise than photographs
your drawings show a lot of potential though =]

the top three are pretty good (maybe the woman not so), the rest on that page look poorly worked out, even like drawn by a different person (body posture of characters in general stiff, not natural!.
Generally work on your shading and observation of nature!.
I really like your Mr Bean drawing, I don't think the likeness is perfect, but I love the facial expression!. You also seem to have taken most trouble with the shading!. I think you are not really aware what you see, so you are pretty good in drawing from photographs, but not very good in drawing things from your mind!. I would recommend as a next step to practice at least sometimes drawing still lives from real objects, not from photographs!. That will teach you to see what's there and not what your brain tells you ought to be there!. Pay attention to how the light values of a 3D object translates onto a 2D page and use this learning experience to draw things from your mind!. Or draw hands, feet, faces over and over again until you really know how they look like!. I think you can be really good if you practice enough and take enough effort with it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Your drawings show you are very very talented!.
I especially like the picture of Johnny Depp, Beyonce' Knowles and Mr!. Bean!.
However some of the drawings seem better than others for example : it seems you spent alot of time on the top 3, yet the second row doesn't look like you put as much effort in!.
Namingly because the piece named - Experiment with Body Poses inspired by a scene in Issue 3 of Genetics (The Possible Name for My Manga) - the bed sheets look poorly tended to, like you scribbled through!.
I like the boldness of your work, but on some of the portraits you have drawn the nose or the eyes with big black outlines, and that makes it less realistic, there is also less tones to show emotions or more shape of the face!.
On the whole, you are talented, maybe a bit more care with your Manga!. (:Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think there all really good!. For constructive criticism I would say work on the eyes as they look a bit big in some of the drawings!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
