I just saw this thread, your art is very very good! Like I just got up so sorry if my wording doesn't justify it but wow.
General comments:
You have a refreshing style. So much realism focussed art is quite bland and repetitive but you don't shy away from using colours and different types of marking to create your effects and in my opinion that brings so much to your art. It is difficult to make unique, different realistic art as after all, the object is being interpreted in the same way. You manage to make your art flow and your use of colour really adds so much.
Specific comments:
As many people have already mentioned, the sunglasses are OP. The shading and lighting is near perfect as is the colour. Really can't fault it
I recommend using guidelines when drawing people/animals to help align facial features. The importance of symmetry can't be underestimated
Also the watermelon is fantastic! Your highlighting is near perfect and it's just very vibrant!
You certainly have a lot of talent! Keep it up ^_^

Also, i'm no expert or anything but I have studied art for almost 3 years now so if that counts for something the yeah
Well I just sketch it out with a normal pencil, then color using "Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils" - they are really pretty common
For like shine I just use white out or a white gel pen
i never use water color
Oh mah lawd they all looks so amazing but they human eye is kinda creepy but that doesn't really matter XD Awesome job! I'm not an artsy person, so I wouldn't be the best person to give you feedback. They look so realistic!
Wow! Beside my drawings that would make mine look not really good... The colors are awesome! With what did you do your coloring? I guess coloring the drawings those make a big difference... That watermelon... looks like I could take it and eat it. It looks really good. Anyway, everything looks awesome, without saying what has already been said.
Mmmmhh... I will try that when I draw next time because I draw and sometimes it ends up crooked at the end. I would post a picture of one of my drawing, but... I will wait and make a thread to show it
WOW!! I just woke up to all of these! Thank you guys so much for all the compliments and criticism
itll really help me in the long run!Mega_Cabbage
Meh
Mike Wasowski is my favorite! You're very talented. What kind of paper do you use? My colored pencil drawings turn out a bit grainy sometimes if that makes sense. Also, got any tips?

i use Strathmore coloring books
I guess the type of paper always helps with the grainy texture, but more importantly, A good color pencil with a soft core
prismacolor premier pencil are really good for me because they blend fairly well and leave little to no white spots (depending how hard you color)
the only down side to them is the sharpening, their tips break really easy if your arent careful w them
Aw thanks so much <3

ok lemme just say, thank you soo much for taking your time to write that all!! I read it all and took into consideration, its really gonna help me out!
Np! I like critiquing art, in case you couldn't tell...
they're all amazing !!! this may sound weird but i love how you've done pikachu's tail it looks reallllly in depth and amazing
only thing i noticed was the shadows, they look a lil sketchy. sometimes you have shadows coming from just underneath leaving a space, whereas shadows usually come directly from something. idk i'm not really an artist but if you're drawing shadows i'd suggest drawing an outline of the shadow (similar to the object shape, but stretched and directed more... downwards, or upwards if it's against a wall such as in the drawing of mike) very lightly and then filling it in lightly how you'd normally colour something (moving the pencil only in one direction not in swirls) and then brushing it out with your fingers. then you can rub out outlines and make it look a little more realistic. i noticed in your mike drawing that the shape was a little off in the shadow in proportion to the shadow of the legs and such, just make sure your whole shadow is in proportion to where you want the shadow to be. SORRY i suck at explaining things
that's all i really noticed, your colouring skills and highlighting is amazingly done!! like i said i'm not an artist, feel free to ignore my comments if you don't feel they're necessarily right ^^

AHHH thank you soo much!!!
ya i know what u mean
im still an amature so there are still i done quite understand about light, color, shading, and shadows. xD
I keep practicing tho
I saw your art shop a few days ago and genuinely your art is so amazing!
It actually took me a few minutes to realise that the watermelon drawing wasn't a photo haha it looks so so realistic
I'll always be checking back on your shop to see any new drawings you've done, I love looking at your art!

Edit! I posted some more drawings AH
The shadows around the objects are arbitrary and likely inaccurate. Imagine where the light is coming from and do the shading from there! it will create more consistency and make it more real
also, i noticed in things like the giraffe, the pikachu, and the probably the panda too is that they don't look like there was any planning done before you did the details. you need to get the form down and correct before getting too detailed. like the giraffe's neck looks off and so does pikachu's head from the rest of it's body. make sure the anatomy is correct.
lastly, where is the top eyelid on that human eye? there isn't one..........
