Ooers, I want to see bigger heads of theirs!

Nice work here! You can definitely see their personalities with their eyes, especially the girls. The guys mostly look brooding, but I guess brooding guys are the cool things to have.

I think you should definitely have labels to your characters though... that way, when your readers look at this, they can say, "Oh, that's so and so!" I mean, they might know anyway because of your character development, but if you like to go slow in this area (I know I do!) it might be better to put names on them.

Also, your next picture should include the rest of their bodies, lol!

Nice work. :D

Uh oh... as a twin myself, I can say with certainty that twins with their heads together are in no way to be trusted! It's just bad news for all. ;)

Anyway, knowing this bit of information, it seems that the twin on the left is the good, idealistic twin whereas the twin on the right is more brooding and dark. Am I correct? I may be seeing this wrong because I have a story (not written yet!) with twin brothers too, and that is their personalities summed up... >.>

You GOT it right !. I am excited to write this one but first, I need to finish my first novel. Can you review it? My drawing skill is much better than my writing! haha :) I know you can notice some grammatical errors in this post. Much more in my novel.

*drools over your art* I envy you. So polished... So professional looking... My doodles are shameful in comparison. XD

Your drawings are beautiful!! :D How do you do that? I draw anime too but I am not nearly as good... I can see your characters personalities just by looking at their faces. The eyes, hair, faces, and everything about your drawings are amazing!! Especially the eyes... I could stare at them for the better part of the day. You could be a professional manga-ka or something. Please post drawings with their bodies and names! :)

Waaa :D

I like it vury vury much! I see you're good at head positioning. Waa, I wish I could do that! For the most part my heads just generally stay straight forward because I can't to the whole "squished eye" thing on the other side of the head ;P and oh my gosh! The eyes! Oh the eyes, how wonderful ;P

I love how the eyes show the emotions in the faces. Also, they are so clean and not sketchy looking, and look like they were done on a computer. Very well done, indeed! ;D I think the only suggestion I have on these is that you should darken the outlines on the hair because either it's the lighting, or the fact that it's a photo, but the hair just seems to be vague or disappeared :O

Did you start out by using reference pictures, or did you teach yourself how to draw the eyes and hair and such? I started out by finding pictures that I liked and looking at them while drawing them. It's very helpful, and you can learn a lot from it, but if you didn't do that and just learned on your own, then that's amazing!

I would definitely like to see more! :3

Hey Paulop,
I didn't know you drew too! That's cool :) (I can't draw for my life so that makes you even special-er ;)) Also, good job on the eyes. They look really nice.
I think you did a great job on these and I didn't see any problems with them, so good job. :D

Keep drawing (and writing!),

They look like concept art for a video game, man. I'm interested in the story already. The eyes really do convey a lot of emotion...it's like they're looking right at me...

Anyway, excellent job!

I like the characters, their eyes especially, they’re very expressive. Something I notice though is that none of them have any distinguishing marks (birthmarks, scars, ect...). If I saw these people on the street I may not recognize them. Maybe consider adding a unique trait to one of them.
