textures - fchan / critique

Art critique and advice; beginner artists are welcome to post here; includes an oekaki. (NO FLAMES)

Artists, read before posting!

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.

And for those of you who want it a bit easier, we also have the whole thing as one neat rar with all three books in pdf form.

I'll post what I consider my two best drawings. I want to see If I can get any improvement specially in textures. As you see, I've tried some stuff, yet I want it to look realistic and I don't get it. Not that they're bad, they look kinda comic styled but is not what I'm looking for.
Also I would ask for any other crit concerning anatomy, lights or such.

Your answers are at the top of this board ^_^ Just a texture hint though, you shouldn't just paste it over the top of the surface, take into account the volume of the object you're putting it on.

Focus on the anatomy more before trying out textures.
There's much room for improvement, study muscle structure
