Seeking Art Mentor

Hey there,
Not sure if this is common or not. However, I suppose I'm looking for a sort of mentor, to criticise my art and writing. I'm working on a longform comic, that is drawn in a long vertical format and released in episodes in order to give this mobile platform a go.
However, I really want to be able to share the sketchform of the comic, and possible criticise my pacing, anatomy and perspective, before I go into lineart and colouring. They're not my strong point, so I believe a fresh eye could help me overcome it. I've been timid with putting any personal art I do up, and I suppose I need a bit of a push. I would prefer someone mature, as the subject matters I wish to tackle are not always light.

Sketch examples taken from comic scenes:

I wouldn't mind helping you out Seems like you've got a really good base for anatomy already.

If you're not already part of the Tapastic Skype Group, you can also show your work to those there and they'd be more than happy to put input aswell. There's some really talented people who chat there who I have found gives wonderful advice. If you'd like to join the group you can pm me your skype name and I can add you.

@MylCreates Thank you! Honestly it could use some work. I seem to be only comfortable with female faces. I had no idea there was a skype group, I'm still a little new to tapastic. I'll pm you. ^.^
