The improvement in the rendering and painting is incredible! I would recommend deepening some shadows, especially the shadows from the hat.

Figure

Hello community, Any feedback on how to make this figure look more 3D. I feel a bit stuck on the mannequization process, so I ended up going straight to the forms, which consequently (obviously) feels a bit flat to me. Maybe more wireframing indication? Thank you

Tori gate acrylic on canvas

Im painting this canvas for my Partner, I have the feeling something is missing on the composition it looks so empty and plain. I don't know how to make it more alive... if you have any idea, thank you !

Club penguin shading

I really like how club penguin's later artworks (as3 era and some as2 era) shade, like it's both complex and also cell shader, something rarely you'll see coexist, but, replicating the shading style is hard, I don't need 100% accurate replication, just something close

Witch hat atelier oc

Hawo! So im currently working on my Witch hat Atelier oc design! I am not sure if my character design skills are high, so i need some help with that. I love the colours i picked for her, i also did some research for the contrast on a character and it looks good. Main theme is lily flower and fierfly wings The issue i have mostly is her designs bottom part, so the cape and the skirt . The patterns i added look nice but i don't like them. I tried some pattern on the cape, so it doesn't look to plane but it didn't seem good and interesting. The edge between the main part and the pattern was sharp and to eye catching. , so i would like help with that Overall i would like to understand if my skills are good for a character designer, what should i be paying more attention too !

Venom

It's Traditional Art, I wanted to make background look good but I don't like how it came out.

Boxes

I’m struggling with drawing the convergence lines of my boxes. I can tell with some boxes and when I check with a ruler a lot of lines are diverging. I am imagining the vanishing point and ghosting the line, but maybe I’m missing something.
