(The back arm and H the hand pose). I think I still struggle with the form though. PS: for the rendering/value I went for the most part by instinct since its not something im familiar with

battle

how can i improve the rendering to make it more 3d/realistic

Demon Overlord

I really like the composition but I have no clue what to do with the clothing, rendering feels weird and flat, I don’t know how to imply color with a palette like this one :/

Yearning pearl

How do I make it look like he is staring at the picture on the wall?

Calcifer!

The face looks off.. Im not sure😭 he’s usually supposed to be a bit of a darker character.. Ill provide a face reference on the side

Golds gone

I wanna know how to make this type of things but more like like they’re in the room and it’s like soft music playing and then she’s just laying on her bed reading a book with her headphones on while sitting on her desk technical

Starry Sky

My friend is saying the shadows are a little off with the mecha in the middle, and I am kind of confused with it. He also said it was blobs, or something like that. Also any other advice, would be helpful. (Poster inspired off of Okiwara, Ohrai, and Takani's style)

Cami

This is Cami she is going to be put into a Indie Animation but she needs to be updated.

Idk been told it's unsettling.
