Hey, not bad! I really like how his nose moves in the last one - I find it simply hilarious. Keep working at it, though - I like the shapes that you're using and the overall style, but I think you need to learn more about where to place shadows when you're painting - that tree in the swamp is a bit too flat for my liking. Have you seen Ola's excellent backgrounds tutorial? If not, go to www.nimsjourney.com and click on the "tutorials" stone; I think you'll find it very helpfull. Oh, one more thing - learn how to draw the human eye from the side. All of your eyes look like they're front-views of the eye, even when the person is clearly facing sideways (as in "Walla"). Unless it's a stylistic thing, I don't know. Generally, I'd recommend doing Google image searches for specific things (eyes, faces, landscapes, whatever) and then just drawing/painting what you see. You can learn a lot just from something as simple as this. And yes, I think it's probably a good thing that you moved away from drawing only in a manga style. At the very least, try drawing in a variety of different styles - each one has something to teach. Perhaps later you'll gradually begin to settle on one that you're most comfortable in, but don't restrict yourself before you've absolutely sure what you like best.

I have already developed the style towards being simply beautiful (pic's later ) the eyes I draw are, actually supposed to be like that from the side, but i don't really know why, I have begun to draw the eye more realistic, and that looks much better. The pic's I posted were just (as you may call it) "beta versions".. One thing that troubles me are converting it into flash-- It's easy just to trace it into vector, but the main issue is animating it. It's just very difficult for me..

Thank you! I've actually improved on drawing with this style! I'll send some cool pic's when I have finished playing around with other things...
