I really like the design, the hair, the clothing ... but if i had to point something out, you should work on the hands and i thi8nk (maybe its just me) the behind leg should be placed a little to the left with that hip position (if you follow your lines it gets obvious). Hope my quick feedbck helped you, Greetings Vincent

I don't understand how to apply hair accessories such as hats at different angles, and how to give it more dimension, or make it out pop, especially the leg at the back, how to make it not look flat?

First things first I think you did fine with the hair accessory on your drawing but basically for accessories like that just think of them as planes attached to the head! For Hats just think of form wrapping, you are just fitting another manipulated sphere on top of a sphere so try drawing through! For the figure to make the leg stand out more was I just pushed the back leg further out and rotated the hip a little bit more, This pose is a bit of a tricky one and looks rather uncomfortable but to make it pop further just push the line weight and use values to your advantage! Sorry for the rough drawings, did this as soon as I woke up xD

First of all, I really like the peice, it has real pontetial. Here's my feedback, you can reach to me on discord if you want me to be clearer on something. The tiara is sitting flat like a sticker instead of wrapping around the head. Think of it as a headband going around a sphere, the two horns should angle differently from each other (left one toward us, right one away). Sketching a quick construction line where the band wraps around the skull helps. For the flat back leg: darken it slightly compared to the front leg (distance = less light), soften the edges on the back leg while keeping the front one crisp, and push the overlap where the front thigh crosses in front. Same issue with the hand holding the skull, it looks like it's hovering in the void rather than gripping the form. Adding some finger overlap, pressure points, or slight indentation where the grip happens would sell the contact. Basically it's all about selling the 3D space. The design and color sense are solid, just being more intentional with value shifts, edge quality, and contact points to show what's in front of what and what's touching what.

WIP Jay Enhypen

I am struggling with capturing his face from my refrence, I made a mistake with choosing my reference a bit, I chose the refrence pose where the face wasn't fully visible and used other refrence for his face so I had to adjust the face angle and how he is looking at the viewer which led to facial structure changes, I can't add my reference in this site because it doesn't support more images. I want you to help me with how do I make look more like Jay.

Some arm studys. I wanted to practice the anatomy for the ice arm of the eleven archer character

About linework in general

I finished it by adding this little walrus imp thing. I believe this is currently the absolute limit of my abilities. If there is anything to improve in this i am currently blind to it. I see this as a problem, since if i do not recognize my mistakes i cannot improve further, therefore if anyone can poke holes in this it would be deeply appreciated. Or maybe i should just start learning values already, since linework is kinda the only thing i've ever done.

Ice archer

I got some feedback and tried Applying it, but my request still stands. I think it’s better now, but it could be even better, so any advice on the render or materials like the leather or the ice would help. Thanks!

Behemoth thumbnail idea

I feel like I’m struggle with a few parts to this piece. First one is just the anatomy of the giant. The stomping foot over the figure seems off or maybe it’s the alignment of the back leg. I feel like I like this angle and composition but maybe it’s not as believable as it should be? Any help would be amazing! Also I’m sure I should adjust the colors too, it’s supposed to be a snowy mountain like landscape but I didn’t really set up a good foundation to depict that. Many thanks to all you talented helpers!
