Second path, decided to explore back one of the first poses since I really appreciated the it. I also loved the result of the end of my first session, so I decided to go for the same style.

Your Paddle & your Canoe !

First path, I did few small iteration, not sure if all of them are here, But I think this is it.

Box method(goated or nah?)

I was wondering if this is how you use box method ,you draw the outline of box then draw the body base on its proportion in the box but for some reason my head ,arm ,leg proportion look inaccurate compare to the 3 major mass of the box I use,is it because idk the arm,leg proportion or the ribcage and pelvis?

Bloodline-Character Lineup by KIZSTKCH

Simple rendering like with cel-shading possibly some highlights. Also hands both idle and gestural.

Portrait of a black woman

This was a more experimental piece, but I'm unhappy with how two-dimensional it feels. I was hoping to get some advice on how to emphasize the planes and contours of the face to make it feel more sculptural. I have a tendency to lean on too-harsh lighting to make up for struggling with conveying subtleties, so anything with softer lighting specifically would be a great help.

greenmeadow tower

i'm looking for help improving this design. any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Environment Concept

Not my latest piece but the concept is a fantasy world with floating lands. I think I have difficulty with the rendering, like why doesn’t it look sharp on the edges of the clouds, the land, grass, etc? Should I use a lasso tool, or a brush shape that has a sharp edge? Plus I am also not sure with the perspective. I’m looking forward to receiving feedback on what to improve with this piece. Big thanks!

Wierd view angle

Hi everyone! I'm a beginner at drawing. I tried to draw Levi from Attack on Titan without looking at reference and chose this wierd view angle. I know it's messy but it kinda seems ok to me but I think it could be better. Can you help me identify what's wrong?
