Wow, it is super clear you are a very experienced artist! You have such gorgeous, flowing gestural lines and a really awesome personal art style. Since your foundation is already so strong, I wanted to throw out some ideas for stylization and character shape language for you to play with. I did some sketching to show how you can really exaggerate the silhouettes to make the lineup pop. You can push the shapes of the two girls to make them feel much more distinct from each other. For the woman on the left, you could lean into sharp angles and a dramatic posture, while making the girl on the right significantly softer and rounder. Pushing these contrasting shapes just adds an extra layer of personality to the group. Your line confidence is already top tier and these characters are so full of life. Keep up the fantastic work!

Book Character - The Namesake
Artist's notes:
One of my biggest goals is to become a better character designer, and I recently decided to tackle a few book characters to see what I could create. I would just like to have any general advice that could help improve these designs, because sometimes I feel like other people see things that I can't.
