Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson? I'm flattered. Do I get to call someone sugartits and fly off in a spaceship now? Believe you me, I could easily be a lot nastier and more abrasive. I don't have many hot buttons, but this sort of thing is one of 'em. But screeching and throwing poop at things isn't civilized. I can't fathom why. Hokay, you want real advice? Here it is. Draw from observation. Photographs, things on your desk, things around you, people on the train, tangible things. If I could start over, I would have done that. Even if you want to draw anime, because (and this has been hammered at me over and over, from bloody everywhere until I was sick of hearing it, but) you need to know what a person actually looks like before you distort it into a cartoon. Check this tutorial out, as well as Tigrin's Drawing with Sincerity. I wouldn't try and read all of the first one at once, just refer to it every now and then, but definitely read through Sincerity.

If you want to be good you're going to have not only take criticism, but SEEK it out. You don't know this but I'm in college for this stuff, it's my career. You have to go after criticism and do a LOT of revisions if you want a future in this. If you just want to draw for a hobby that's fine, then you don't have to do anything you don't want to. But if so, you aren't allowed to get pissy. Deconstructive critism need not apply, of course. I'd just like to point out that if people don't put art in their posts, and link to it elsewhere, I never see it, because I'm as lazy as sin.

Same with me, but I might check it if somebody posts something like " Very good stuff" or "I like the _____".
I skip stuff like that too, sometimes. Actually, I'd love to embed video in my posts so animations wouldn't get looked over but even if that were possible it would slow down my thread and there's no way I'm gonna do that.

Do you really want me to be rude? Because so far I've been pretty civil. I haven't even threatened to dismember you and plant your spine in a flowerpot for the cat to piss on. I'm just saying.
I don't approve of posting traced/copied pictures, without even linking back to the original. And I do think they were traced, because too many of the lines match up for it to have just been referenced. I also do not believe you are at a skill level where you can look at a picture and render it perfectly. I'm suspicious of the Ichigo Rukia pictures as well, because of the style difference.
I don't doubt there is a market for copied paintings, but I do not consider it art.
On your actual drawings? Okay. I think you rely on the three-quarter view of the head too much, and you draw hands and feet far too small. (An open hand should be big enough, fingers and all, to cover your face, and a foot is about as long as your forearm.) There doesn't seem to be definition where the arm ends and the wrist/hand begins. You also very much need to learn how to draw fingers, because even when you just draw them balled into fists, it's really obvious.
