What strikes me most is that the characters are not the same height. Also, the head doesn't seem to be the same shape and the outline quality is shoddy. In addition, some outlines are black, while some are darker color.
What size are shooting for with the characters? If it's supposed to actually be this big, which I doubt, the outlines should be redone. A lot of the design needs to be corrected as well.
it is my first try :-[
Thats ok no pressure ace monkey its a good first try You will get better with experience.
Tip when drawing a character make sure that the contruction of that character remains the same so that he wont look wierd in any of your views.
A very quick paintover just to show what could be done ...

Sorry for the rather sketchy art =/ Not a very good brush tool mouse wielder.
#1. He's got a very rectangular like face, and a big jaw which would show even from the back view
#2. His hair ought to swirl in the correct direction
#3. Make his sleeves shorter, and shirt longer
#4. I made a mistake with the pants length( it's got to be shorter )
#5. His ears ought to be more rectangular shaped and smaller
And don't get discouraged! Keep trying and improving :)
Good paint over now ace monkey just learn from what .Sklate. did and you will improve the more you practice.
ok, i'll try again, but you may not here from me for a while- im starting my exams and i've got to revise. :-\
I'm curious about the game's resolution. This char is about 450px tall, that's almost the screen height of 640x480.
Choose a resolution, open a new image with your gfx prog that's just as big, then draw a simple room with a door.
Now you've got your characters height: about 90% of the door's.
