Character Design

I finally set off in a game i wanted to make on NS for a looong time. It will be kinda like Advance Wars, but anyway i am now with graphics and with doing portraits of the different characters; as i have a very low level at drawing stuff, i did what i could to draw those 3 portraits of the main character (a medic in a gang of mercenaries); can anyone help me enhance those?

Skin is hard as hell to paint...

    Update after this afternoon. This is the Lieutenant pf this mercenary gang. Got the hairstyle idea from an anime, and got better at drawing hair too after spending some times at it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->. I dont like the background eye though and i have no idea how to improve it. Any ideas anyone?

    Yeah i was inspiring myself from Last Exile character design, and worked with some still shots of the anime besides (those from the intro). I got the facial expressions from a web site dedicated to mangas, as i said i am no artist, but i try to do what i can <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

    Hmm... Pretty good. I'd working a little more on your skin tones - check <a href='http://www.polykarbon.com/tutorials/skintones/tone1.htm' target='_blank'>this link</a> out for some help on that. Check out the rest of that site for more helpful tutorials - they are all focused on your type of style. Otherwise, they are pretty good for animation level drawings.
