the walk already reads well. maybe pin the folds to two or three points, shoulders and where it catches the leg, and let the rest hang. helps it feel like cloth reacting to the step instead of a flat sheet

Is there an easy way to draw a cape - Anime - Community Driven Art Feedback Platform

I’m trying to sketch an anime character with a cape but it just looks like a flat sheet behind them. I dont really understand how the folds should react to the pose. My form and movement need work. using pencil, any advice?

skin tone

I can't seem to get the skin tone right. I'd like to play around more with the shadows and highlights by mixing in a little more color—not just black and white—but I have no idea how to do that.
