Some of them are quite old. They are in random order(except the SRO Gear&Weapon ones which are in chronological order).

Anatomy, mang.
Ignore the "bodybuilding" poses, those are just... I don't know...

Re: My stuff
yeah as Kraq pointed out - anatomy.
It also looks like you're using just one pencil that needs to be sharpened.
just keep drawing - Practice makes perfect.

Re: My stuff
Yeah, i use only one pencil cos i don't know shit about them and i don't sharpen them so often. 
Re: My stuff
I was bored and i wanted to draw Ezio from AC:R this time so i made this.
But i wanna start drawing something like upper bodies of ppl so i get better detail. I don't like to draw a full body on an A4, just not enough room for detail.

Re: My stuff
^I know they say the blade is an extension of one's body, but you shouldn't take it so literal...
You don't seem to be too bad at shading, so you should practice getting the anatomy of the body correctly. If you can combine those 2 skills, you should see great improvement.
Oh yeah, you say you'd like to add more details. Looking at your drawing I can tell that you are probably drawing with a very soft pencil...like 2B? Try using a wellsharpened 2H pencil, you'll be able to draw much more detailed.

Re: My stuff
Thanks for the comment. I don't remember what pencil i used for this one, but gonna go for 2H next time then.
And yeah, been too lazy to practise anatomy. 
Re: My stuff
I hadn't done anything in quite a while and since I'm waiting for AC3, I thought I'd draw Connor. 
I totally forgot to try 2H and I just realised I have one, but it wasn't sharpened and I was too lazy to do it, so I used 2 other ones that I don't know the hardness of.
I wan't to draw something/someone from real life next time though, and on an A3, because drawing detail on such a small scale is difficult and I don't have A3 atm.

looks pretty awesome.
the only thing is that the overall image is really dark.
maybe erase some parts for highlights?

Re: My stuff
Yeah, I would have liked to do some highlights, but my eraser isn't good enough for that. I don't have a kneaded eraser either.

Re: My stuff
Connor's drawing looks really nice!
maybe you should try adding some contrast to make it look more realistic, and use q-tips to blend the small areas without ruining the details, eraser+q-tips= photo like drawings!

Hmm, I've never considered q-tips, that's a good idea. I don't have q-tips at home atm though.

never thought of q-tips either. Good idea.
You can also wrap some tissue paper around your finger.

So I wanted to draw something and found a pack of q-tips. Here is the result:

My first time drawing hair like this.
I love q-tips now.

New pic.
Felt like doing a face portrait. Haven't done one in ages. Chose a picture of Veela and here's the result.

Re: My stuff
Didn't take much time with this one. Here you can also see my silly attempt at making mist. The white bg isn't really helping, but meh. I'm not good at backgrounds yet.
Original:
Now I'll also try to draw on the right side of the paper. For the sitting girl pic I chose the side that didn't have imperfections on it happened to be the wrong side I chose.

Re: My stuff
i must say... the girl sitting is amazing.
i suck at drawing but a girl i knew who was great at drawing using to make incredible shapes and shadows by smudging with her fingers (smudging pencil not pastels) then drew over the top of the shaded smudge marks with a more defining pencil (a deeper sharper tone rather then a regular drawing pencil she used)

Re: My stuff
Made this drawing of my sister a quite some time ago already, forgot to upload it. Ignore the line in the middle, I don't have a scanner for A3 so I scanned it in two halves.

Re: My stuff
You need to create a bigger difference between hair and skin.
It makes her look like she has an extraordinarily thick neck area.
Needs more grayscale variety, one of my bigger problems as well :/ Sometimes you just gotta press that pencil real hard to get the right result (it's easier with a soft pencil).
Oh, and be really careful around the nose area (it's pretty good here though). I recommend never actually drawing a line there, only color the area's shadows. If you get the nose wrong any person you draw will look like a rapist/hooker D:
