Oops, sorry.  Didn't see that last one was broken.  Anyway, yeah.  Let me know what you think.  I've always loved drawing cartoons, but I've never had the attention span for actual comics.  That second one was...I dunno where that came from.  Something broken and strange inside me, but I don't suppose it really means anything in particular.  I was probably just in a hideous mood.

next time just post the images in (almost) full size?

you can make them not blow up the forum layout with [img width=800]http://blablabla[/img] if they're really big.

anyway, I loaded them, will post when I've taken a look (later)

Looking good. You've got a good sense of proportion (something I'm still working on with my drawings).

One thing I noticed is that some of your lines can get 'jittery'. I can recommend an exercise:

Draw 2 dots on the page (start with them pretty close together, 1/2 of the page or closer).

Hover the tip of your pencil above the first dot.

Concentrate your focus on the second dot.

"Ghost" a line between the dots (pencil tip is just above the paper, and you get the motion of the line into your muscle memory).

Put the tip of your pencil on the first dot.

Draw a straight line between the dot as fast as you can (while keeping your eye focused on the second dot).

Fill the whole page with lines.

Do another page.

A page or two a day and the feel of your lines will be much more crisp.

The next step of the exercise is to change the pressure of the line as you go. Start off soft, then end hard. Then try starting off hard, then ending soft. Just a few weeks of this practice really improved my line work.

Changed display to partial full size instead of thumbnails.

Thanks for the compliments and advice, Telarus!  I'll do that.

I only see a few problems.  Kermit's fork is bend-y (I'm sure you were just doodling.), some of your shoulders are too sharp, and the slope of the breast in the second one is off.  If they were supposed to be full A's to b-cup size they are sitting a little too high.  With the arm at that angle the nipple and just a bit above it would be visible.  If they were supposed to be a larger cup size there would be more cupping.  Or, they are being pulled by something and whatever that something was should be visible, like the ribbons.
It looks like you blocked out the head and appendages because you couldn't draw the proportions from memory.  The thighs aren't *perfectly* even (nit-picking).  Great job with the ribcage, shoulder,neck, and buttocks.  The line of definition on the left leg's inner thigh is a bit far back(nit-picking).  Stare at more calves or sweet talk someone into modeling.  *wink*  :)  The back of a woman's head is surprisingly hard to get right.  Estella's (sp?) needs longer calves.
Overall, awesome.  I only found nit-picky things.

True on all accounts.  I opted to do something else with the appendages since I couldn't do them well, and the breast on that one was a bit of an afterthought.  That one was from sometime last year, though.  I still use as many references as I can get away with.  Lots of time on image boards fishing for reference poses.

The Kermit one was meant to be twisted and gnarly, though.  Imagine the things you could do with a bent fork!
