Coloring Feedback (nsfw)

[Escapement]

making 12 pics for each one of the month to make a quick 2012 calendar, except I'm terrible at coloring things in, so any feedback on the coloring would be nice.

Looks almost like crayon, which is definitely not what you want to use.
If you're gonna colour these by hand, make sure to fill in everything, don't leave white spaces.
Or you could digitally colour them, just get a freeware art program like Gimp or Paint.net

D: ... it was done with crayon, of my acrylic paint, pastel, color pencil, ink set, marker set, the crayons where the only one to offer a "skin" color. I have done some coloring on the comp with photoshop, but never like how it looks.

If you are gonna stick with coloring traditionally, try using more then one tone for one material, add some shadows as well. Look for references online so you can learn from them when coloring in the shadow.

Here is a hint, never ever use flesh colored stuff right out the box. No skin color is actually "skin color" you should be able to make a skin color if you have reds, browns and white paints in a pinch (ochers and umbers work better though). As for colored pencils try lighting shading with a a brown and some greys. When done properly you will get a much more realistic skin color than that hard pressing peach crap you are using right now.

Did you do these first with observation I sense something is wrong with The first woman's face not that i'm shallow but maybe you should brush up on your anatomy more before you consider to do any sort of Inking or Coloring as it is.
