You have a good start going on these! I think that you could use a bit more reference on the first character, especially with the hands. And maybe trying doing something with the brush, it seems really blurry.
I like the hatching idea on the statues but you should focus on making the hatch work as uniform as possible. Each hatch mark should be about the same distance from each other in a sequence. I know this is a bit difficult to do digitally but your hatch marks should also not have any curve ends.
Thanks a lot for your critique and regarding the hatch marks I admit its really confusing as some artists use them to show areas of darkness and depth while in others I've seen them using curved hatches trying to show form. I can see somehow I failed in my approach but hopefully in future I can accomplish some better results. Thanks again for you comment.
