Before you post your art to ask for critique, please read these tutorials. They explain the basic principles of drawing and figure drawing. Most posts where these basics are missing will never get a response, as people are quite frankly sick and bored of explaining over and over that you would have to pretty much learn how to draw first, before you could improve.

So the line art is still far from 'good', but I've been able to find resources for that, and I am making good progress towards better line art. Color on the other hand, I am having a lot of trouble figuring out, and I can't seem to find good resources. Can anyone recommend any good guides on digital coloring/painting? preferably for GIMP, but I assume most concepts should be transferable between software.
