Mudskipper dragon

Final

Mudskipper dragon

First try at a challenge

Canary birds

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 ?

Magic Lessons, One last Try

For this piece my primary focus was on Values and Rendering. I got to this point and felt stuck not sure what direction to go with it. I wanted to achieve a more dynamic energized feel. Any other feed back is also welcome! Oh, the eyes were intentional, I wanted him to look like he was wincing, though I'm not quite sure I pulled off that effect haha

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.
