Thank you, anon! I'll try to pay it forward.

Soapbox- Very charming stylization, I enjoy how much personality this character has through appearance. Ear is a tad low, though

Colors looking nice so far! There's something odd about the negative space surrounding the unicorn/faerie, it looks much emptier than the rest of the pic, perhaps add some more plants there?

Mistwalker- Cute, though there's something off about the face, I'm thinking it's the mouth. It's wide open, toothless, and rather flat, try giving it some more dimension, consider how it wraps around the face!

Lokki- Ooh, I gotta say I really like that pose, it's got great energy to it. That said, the head/neck area is looking a little funny to me, I think that neck is a tad short.

Papa- The color scheme you used here looks very odd, may I suggest making the sky a more pure and vibrant blue? Some more yellow green highlights might also help pull the landscape together.

Lokki- Absolutely lovely legs you drew there. As for the anime girls, their poses seem very stiff, and the girl on the left seems to be just staring into space. For next time around, maybe give them more relaxed poses that better convey the two's relationship! It seems to be romantic, but the rigidness of the characters makes them both look a little uncomfortable with each other rather than relaxed and amiable.

Hman- Alright start and edges so far, but push those values! This is something I see consistently in your art, you never stray too far from your middle-grey tones! Don't be afraid to go really dark where you need to.

Kirikae- Edge control! You need more hard edges! Having soft edges on everything makes the image just look out of focus, don't be afraid to clearly define your lines and shapes!

HumanBean- Interesting sketch, but I feel the messy hatching/crosshatching is really holding it back. I'd say this goes for a lot of your work, actually. The rougness of the drawing looks sloppy instead of intentional, so perhaps either try to be tighter with your linework, or really embrace the messiness for stylistic effect!

Whizzard- Cute character design so far, but the shading looks very dull. Looking through your previous works, it seems you were inspired by George Kamitani? If that's the case, try going more vibrant with your shading. Additionally, it's just generally to start adding the darker tones for shading early on, rather than starting from the lightest midtones, because it helps define your values and forms faster.

Mistwalker- Looking cute so far, though you should double check your values. Maybe try incorporating some deep blue greens into the shadows of those hills. I assume you plan to add some nice, dark shadows on the girl later, if not get on that!
