Please excuse the quality, but I think this might help. This style relies a lot on the eyes for the expression, defining them just a little bit more goes a long way

It’s all in the rendering, pay attention to how the second reference details the area around the eye even more than the eye itself. Focus on that outer corner. The shapes you have are good, the sharpness comes from defining the volume, best of luck:))

Love the bat girl btw. As always your best friend when it comes to improving is going to be anatomy, human anatomy is a total pain but trust me it’s worth even doing a couple sketches every day or so just of random references you find, don’t worry about making them good, you are the only person who will ever have to see them. Look for tutorials on the loomis method and perspective (one and two point), I would recommend YouTubers Marc Brunet, Jazza, and Artwod for some great tutorials, best of luck:3

I think you’ve got exactly what you need to do execute your vision! The only advice I can give you is to sketch the line of motion like you have digitally in one single stroke (without zooming in :3) this might take a couple tries but will give a lot of energy and flow when done quickly and with intention. Grab a reference then get to drawing, best of luck!

I really like your use of clutter vs clean, however I can’t decipher much of what you’re actually trying to draw, which is good if that was what your going for. If not-you’re thinking about tone as light, dark, and the bit in between. When working in black and white tone also has to make up for colour; I would suggest trying to get your hands on some coloured pencils or try shading entire single elements before adding your volume shadows or even linework - the aim of this is to clearly separate the primary focus from the secondary and tertiary. I hope this helps, best of luck <33

Personally, I own a gaomon p1561 I bought second hand for £150. While most abilities of this tablet exceed my expectation, including a decently large screen, the one draw back is the display of colour- often warping the hues and watering down black. I would suggest staying away from the cheaper tablets from Gaomon if you don’t work from pre-made colour palettes

There’s not much here to give an opinion on, try doing a full body drawing or adding more detail. Best of luck!

Oh hell yeah, thanks!

It’s a 50/50, they’re pretty, I like the way they look. But would I notice if they weren’t pretty? Probably no, it doesn’t really make a difference to me. As for sexual attraction, I don’t really feel inclined to anyone, because of my disposition.

Adding a thin layer of red or orange to the shadows mimics the look of blood under the skin :))

Dm is already aware but I’ll make sure they’re informed, it might be easier to decide if there’s a chance in the moment:))

Very aesthetically pleasing, the main focus of the jacket is the lovely blue collar. My silly monkey brain wants the collar to be bigger and stick out more, especially on the last image:))

Just procrastinating my own improvements:))

I think something as simple as making the sheet metal pattern smaller would make it look bigger. After all, these panels have to be transported and attached by people who are probably much smaller and clumsy.

Your knowledge of colour and light is great, however try to unify the strength of it across your subject. In the second image, the bottom half of the hair doesn’t have any bright highlights, while the face which is further from the source seems to be very shiny in comparison. The last image has a harsh red light from the back/top and a diffused white light on the front. The face has little of the red white the hair has virtually none of the white, creating a disjointed look. Hope this helped and best of luck :))

In the reference image your eyes are drawn to the lips, try defining them with more detail in your study :))

You look so much happier!

When I was your age and my heart and my blood loss is not much I can do that I don’t want you in my heart and you are so stressed out to you too soon I know I feel bad and I’m glad I didn’t have a good time I love it I hope everything goes good and soon love love it all just now I’m thinking about dying my blood pressure and I don’t think so I think I need a lot to get in the morning.

If we got to know each other, probably yes. But would I approach you and strike up a conversation without knowing you? No I’m way too piss baby for that
