How to add more depth and more dynamic colour while trying to BE realistic and what else could i improve

Bedtime Stories Illustration

I struggle quite a bit with lighting and colors, this piece being a particularly hard example. I want to keep things stylistically simple and comic-book-y though, I don’t want to lean into painting in this case! I am a comic artist and the flatter style is important.

Miyabi ZZZ

I would like some help with the line art, I would also like any feedback for what I can improve on

Still life

I don't think there's much to improve here beside the small details and maybe the form of the lantern so I don't have much struggle but I feel like there's something missing

An apple

Will I want some feedback on this sketch that I did on a piece of cardboard at work and I would appreciate some criticism and etc so what do you think it need to improve ?

D&D Portrait Help!

A revision based on the wonderful feedback I've received so far! Tried centering her nose and mouth more, changed the angle of the hair strand, upped the contrast/lowered the brightness, and tried to define her facial planes better. I'll be honest though I have no clue what I'm doing with her clothes haha! So any extra advice on drapery and rendering clothing would be appreciated! I feel like right now its too high contrast compared to the rest of her and its a little distracting.

The Gorgon Dragon

After a lot of hesitation, wondering whether I had really finished this drawing and whether it was good enough to enter the contest… I finally decided to post it. 😅 Even if I don’t win the contest, that’s okay. What matters most to me is that I saw my idea through to the end and managed to bring it to life the way I had imagined it. And for that, I’m really proud to present my dragon: “The Gorgon Dragon.” 🐉 For this artwork, I was inspired by the famous Gorgon from Greek mythology: Medusa. She’s a character I particularly love. I find her mysterious, fascinating, and captivating… with, of course, one small detail that can become quite a problem: her gaze. 👀 So be careful… if you meet my dragon’s eyes, you might just end up turning to stone! 😉 And most importantly, don’t hesitate to zoom in on the artwork to discover all the little details I’ve hidden throughout the drawing. 🔍 Thank you to everyone who takes the time to look at my work, and good luck to all the participants of the Smaugust Challenge! ❤️
