As a piece of advice, if you're not already, use multiple hardness graphite pencils or charcoal pencils... in a lot of your pieces, the graphite is shiny.. that happens when you use a pencil that is not soft enough for the value you are trying to achieve... IE you're using a 2B pencil to try to make black and so are rubbing really hard. Shiny graphite is not desirable as it doesn't photograph well and it just makes an entire, otherwise ok drawing look much more amateur. You should, at the minimum, have about a 4H or 5H for primary lines/light sketchwork and light values, an HB or 2B for middle values, and a 6B or 7B for dark values. You should also keep a charcoal pencil handy for when you want to achieve true black.... but as a warning, charcoal pencils smudge EXTREMELY easily. They're easy to erase, but they smudge like whoa, so keep a can of fixative handy. Also, I can tell you're using your finger to blend... knock it off! Your fingertips have oils which make your blending inconsistent and spotty.. If you insist on using your fingers, wrap a piece of paper or paper towel around your finger before you blend, or get good at using a blending stump (which I like better)

thanks for the advice, most that stuff i understood and other stuff i didn't, as i have not drawn or did anything of that matter in 2-3 years but on professional note thanks for the criticizing

thanks
