Hey I like the first one - it’s got a really nice loose feel to it.
yea thanks, a sketch like that generally will have a lose feeling. Plus the majority of time was spent on water application (which makes it even loser in feel)
and the second one, is it that horrible?
Not at all! It just doesn’t strike me the same way as the first one did - I tend to prefer more stylised/abstract art.
you sexah sexah man!
I love the textures! the colours you’ve picked… I enjoyed the outlined man, it has the cave wall paintings feel to it…
second picture I like more… maybe it was the use of more colour or because of the smile/smirk… show me one of those in real life I’d scream and run away in horror… but on that paper he has a kinder character to him… ok so I look abit more and I could offer some points…
his … bottom could be twiddled with… maybe a hint of colour… make it longer… give him more of a ‘tail’… or a rounded finish… and the part which connects the mid waist line… it seems like a thin curve rather than a ‘meaty’ piece to hold onto the neck… how is his head holding on… type question…
ok ok I could say the legs could been spiffed up abit aswell… but these are things you know about anyway… I like your work! 
–edit
I TRIED to stay away from the naming or calling of HE, HER, IT… giving an assumption… but I’ve obviously labelled IT > HE…
argh…
thanks for the crits, I will try to do better on my next work (as that one is finished) All the points are good. And about the he/she/it part, don’t worry too much about it
