Wow, someone's been busy! I agree with the others, that Squirtle is really cute, and I like the last two pony paintings, & RD. They are both well balanced; RD has a great expression, and the warm yellow background goes beautifully together with the grey pony. Are these painted with acrylics? I think some of them would benefit from a couple more layers, perhaps with varying paint consistency. I like it that you're not afraid of using textures (that's probably one of the reasons why that Squirtle painting appeals to me personally! ), but I think it would help you achieve the same level of definition you have in your pencil drawings if you started with a wash or two of watered-down paint and then went over that with thicker paint. An initial wash would cover all the white of the canvas without hiding your pencil sketch (if you start by sketching, that is) and help in building a finished look layer by layer - after which you can have fun with heavy textures! You have a great eye for colour and you've already got a nice hang of the G4 anatomy; besides, I find that the selection of paintings demonstrates improvement in all of these areas so you're off to a good start! I hope you don't mind the unasked advice.
