I would try maybe defining the back / hind quarter when you draw animals or four legged Pokemon. But I love how there's a mitten on the Leafeon's head leaf! What an adorable little apparel piece in a cute place.
And for the chicki drawing - I'd define the beak more since it is a chicken. I first thought it was a bunny and wouldn't have been able to tell it was a chicken if not for the little side note, so just keep that in mind!
Aside from that keep up the great work (:

Have a wonderful day y’all, you deserve it :)
I like it but I think there could be things done better. Everything looks smushed together, I suggest maybe trying to add depth! I sud gets mostly on the snout legs and arms. Also many people don’t realize it but we have much more for head then we think so we put the eyes way up at the top and it makes it look somewhat weird witch is what I think happened. The body also seems to be curving in and out to me, the neck looks thicker then the torso and the body seems to get smaller towards the legs. I hope that wasn’t to Much!

@Ice: That's a cute character! I'd suggest shading as well, as everything is the same colour, and it's difficult to tell where what ends. Do you use references? Again, they really help with working out where so and so goes. For example, if I couldn't work out how to draw a fist, then I could look up a fist reference, and then I'd draw based on the reference. This usually helps me a lot ^^
(I'll drop some art in later)
i really like the designs, they're super adorable!
i think furret and eifie covered most of the bases, but do keep in mind that while shading can absolutely help, it's not necessary for a piece to look good. (flat color proves this!) i think at the moment, you should focus more on the anatomy of your characters rather than the shading, but that's just me. since they're gijinkas, you're going to want to use human references. you don't necessarily even have to use realistic human refs; anime works just fine.
@ice_of_the_wolf
it's pretty cute! like i said above, while shading (as eifie said) can absolutely help with separating parts from others, it's not necessary. you might want to try using lines/guidelines for your drawing instead of going lineless! while lineless art can definitely work, i think starting out with lines might help with figuring out where each body part is. a lot of lineless artwork starts out with lines, too!
that's just my two cents though! good work, you two.
A person on the left and a half dig half fish on the other xD
