id say people here are too kind to you about the colors: theyre either generic and flat or straight up muddy. you not waiting for your lines to dry/not using water/markerproof fineliner doesnt help too, its often really smudgy.woooo, never have i ever thought i'd find my art reposted on a Lolcow by people twice my age. flattered af, tbh, is this it? is this the height of my career? whatever will i do with my life next? i'm genuinely curious about you guy's qualms with my art so fire away, babes ! everything from constructive criticisms to low blow jabs are encouraged. if it ain't helpful it's probably funny
anatomy is wacky, no way around that. try to do gesture sketches, theyll help with overall anatomy and maybe even with your lines sonce now your lines are really messy. gesture sketches also can help you to make your art less stiff.
i agree with everyone that you gotta drop the tumblr potato nose, and, since im talking about the faces, you place eyes too low and its really noticeable since you make lower part of the face really big compared to the upper-middle.
honestly, you have a really long way to go, bc now everything is at pretty much lil bit higher than total beginner level. go for gesture sketches and try to make your lines more refined and confident and less messy. if you miss the colors try to do restricted color palettes, like take 2 or 3 markers and base the pic around it, trying to work with these colors and their shades, balancing the contrasts and such. color studies can help too. tho u still can draw animu fanart so you dont get burned out from studying bc it can be pretty boring and demotivating
tldr: drop sjw-isms like the nose and potato bodies, do both drawing studies and drawing whatever you want for fun. try to implement newly learned skill on you drawings-for-funsies
