Hey! So cool so far! :D I don’t think the shadows themselves are bad. However, I do feel that you need to define the volumes more clearly. For example, the character’s right leg looks a bit flat because the volume of the muscles isn’t properly indicated. I’d recommend looking for references of how the muscles actually look and indicating their volume more clearly. As for the pose… I’m not sure if it’s too late, but you could improve it by adding more gesture or slightly exaggerating the action. Try opening the legs a bit more and emphasizing the twisting of the torso (by pushing the left arm further back, you create that small twist in the upper body). Similarly, you could bend the torso slightly forward. Hope this helps!
