Pretty good, but you need to work on your coloring and shading, I'd say start with the skin. The sketches are pretty cool that middle one is very bootylicious those hips so yummy... Anywayz dunno if you were in a hurry or something but also look up some lineart tutorials for help on how to make the lines smoother (personally I preferred using paths in Photoshop when I got into that stuff, cumbersome and annoying but results are clean and scalable). Bottom one is my favorite, very sexy expression!

Actually if you want, send me some lineart or something I feel like coloring in now lol

Nice observation! Yes, my line is absolutely hoplessly rough, and unclean.
As you mentioned using pass tool was my original option as I alway do, but I chose not, cause I was trying to find a way that without pass tool it will still look as clean as all the professional ppl does.
(eg. Kim hyun Tae's work)
Pass tool is very powerful item, but it will loose human touch as well.
Still seeking the best way to scan the smooth base lines, maybe a better ink pen might do the job.
Yep yep, still need to work on shading, just keep drawing and drawing lol 
thanks for the comment, we can discuss more skills on photoshop

In that case, I'd suggest you start by scanning your lineart in grayscale, not black and white, and then adjust using Levels in photoshop. This will make the lines smoother when you scan, not so choppy. If you stuff up or it's not clean enough, you can print your scanned lineart a very very light color and ink over it again. It should be a lot easier to remove impurities like that. But yeah I could never get it as smooth and sexy as professionals ofcourse, I think that also comes down to the quality of paper and ink you use, as well as the size your working at. Good luck lol I could never persevere long enough to draw anything good

Very nice indeed.  I personally prefer the 2nd one.
your colour shading might be a little bit on the rough but its not that bad. It al depends on what style and effects you want to achieve.  i know some artists like to have their works with a "raw and untouched" feel.  but you still HAVE to clean it.  If you are looking for that, you better refine your cleaning techniques, to clean up the lines, just enough so that they still look raw.
Post up more!! your works are good!!!

Grayscale and leveling is one of my favourite, but when the line isn't clearly dark enough, it will create an opacity of around 60% gray color line, which will be so annoying cuz it displays as a clear gray and white color that affects my other colors 
Still, I think there should be a better way to counter this, I will keep search for it

Your definitely right man, cleaning is the least thing that I should've done.
I was just toooooooo lazy to redraw those line with my path tool
The aim was to practice on coloring so my objective is accomplished lol 
Anyway, I will try to clean it next time before I color it
hmm... or maybe not lol
