Matilda Character Design

Something feels off; I'm quite spotty with the hands. But I'm also a bit iffy with the feet. The shadow creature behind her has a rather stiff pose in comparison to the front character as well. Your feedback will be appreciated! :)

Character rendering and lighting

Hi, I am struggling to figure out how to shade my character and his clothes especially with the color black that I used for the jacket. I haven't really decided on a light source, but ideally it's coming from the left side of him. Considering the materials as well I wanted it to be a cloth like material for the jacket and regular jeans. I would appreciate any help and input on this thanks.

Storyboard

I've tried to convey a pretty complex story with this storyboard. I was wondering if the story is readable enough to understand the plot where a boy who has left home has found a new way to cope with the absence of his family.

Plein Air Oil Painting

It feels more impressionist than I was intentionally going for. How do I get more real feeling textures in the water and the sand and the trees etc?

Need some advice on the anatomy, is the perspective of the leg and overall proportion

Don Quixote

Here is with the feedback i was given. I tried making the feather more interesting and resting the spear against him. I also tried the armor a more 3D look. I kept the attitude because this iteration is supposed to be smug . I tried fixing the prespective problems too, I hope it reads better and i will keep at it. Thanks everyone,
