It's pretty hard to critique because of the style. When I try to see if somethings wrong, I say, "Oh wait, style."

Avoid pillow shading the hair, and shade neater. Basically fix the shading on the hair so it builds the form and looks neat.

I'm a noob myself so take my advice with a grain of salt.

You definitely have a certain style, which I like.

the eyes look rather crazed to me, a wide open stare.  and maybe it's style, but the outline of the face seems too thick, either use more thick outlines to establish the theme or make the face outlines thinner.

second guy from the right, is the dark maroon color on his forehead shading from the hair or a headband?  If it's shading I think you have too much

I'm a little too busy to do an example, but I can tell you that the hairline is way higher than where you have it on the orange haired guy.

The faces on the guys are all the same, and the eyes are both scary and too similar to one another. It's an effective creepy doll collection, but not much else. Start by varying the appearances of your characters.

I did a little edit for you , i was quite in a rush so dont expect anything incredible  :crazy: .
Anyway i tried to get the anatomy right and introduce a better shading and outlining , also AA'ed a bit and applied some ambient lightning , i also tried to not alter your style too much and keep your proportions :


Just study it and you'll get it , and if you have questions go on .
Well hope i helped  ;) .
