“idk if prettier means more detail, maybe keep the nose as one soft shape and shrink the mouth a little so the face stays quiet under all that hair”

“idk if polishing every little sketch helps, maybe pick the biggest figure and thicken the outer silhouette so it reads before the inside lines”

“idk if more line detail is the fix, maybe try one clean outer contour around the head and body first, then vary the inner lines so the character reads clearly before polishing.”

“idk if all of that needs fixing at once, maybe lock one horizon and the big box forms first so the depth reads before you push values or anatomy”

“idk if more eye detail is the fix, maybe place a simple box around the whole head first and mark the eye line before drawing the eyes, then check the width against the nose so the face proportions sta”

“idk if you need weeks on one fundamental first, maybe one clearer ribcage and shoulder box pass would already make her pose read before color”

“idk if you need to ditch it, maybe block the coat and head as two clear big shapes first, then check the shoulder to wrist line so the pose sits clearer before polishing details”

“maybe block the body as a simple bean and two big leg shapes first, then check the knee and foot angles before adding the soft clothing so the pose reads more clearly.”

“maybe keep the silhouette simple, then try one darker value for the hair and torso so the green and pink shapes separate more clearly before adding small details.”

“maybe block the head, shoulders, and hood as simple boxes first, then check the face tilt against those guides before adding the hair so the perspective reads more clearly.”

“idk if more anatomy detail is the fix here. maybe block the ribcage as a simple box and the pelvis as a smaller one, then check how much they twist against each other. the waist gap will read on its o”

“maybe pick one of these three and reuse it every time instead of redrawing it fresh. the middle one reads best, just the bottom bit with a soft edge. the long side line is what flattens it for me, dro”

“fingers might not be the thing to fix first. the palm is what sets it up. try blocking the palm as a flat box and the thumb as its own chunk off the side, then hang the fingers off that. mitten shape ”

“the stiff part is maybe that both legs bend the same amount and the shoulders sit level. if you drop one shoulder and let one leg go straighter than the other it slouches more. hand pushing into the f”

“maybe lock one chin width on both heads first. the right one feels extra round mostly because the neck line keeps going into the shoulder, stopping it at the jaw hinge would help”

“the profile reads nicely. maybe the ponytail feels stuck on because it starts right at the skull line. pushing the hair mass out a bit off the head and letting a few strands fall over the ear could ti”

“the rim light on the hair already reads. maybe a slightly darker water behind the legs would keep the hips from melting into the pink blob”

“maybe the pillars are just a bit loud. dropping their contrast a little would keep the colors and let the front shapes read”
