I like to do this from time to time, my apologies. Since my last one I've tried to make my backgrounds more interesting! Also overall experimenting with line art, shading, and effects.

You've got a good grasp on anatomy, and I love your use of line weight! Your use of colour is also really lovely :)

Honestly the only real critique I have is that your traditional artworks could use better lighting, or a scanner if you have one. Your art is really expressive and has awesome use of shapes, but the lighting on your traditional pieces kind of subtracts from that (it looks like the photos were taken with a phone, rather than scanned). If you don't have/can't afford a scanner, you can get scanning apps on your phone that use your flashlight to provide good lighting!

Your shading is lovely! My one gripe is you make arms a bit too short. The elbow should reach the waist and the wrist should be at the groin

Thanks for the feedback!

First of all, I gotta say I love the way you stylize anatomy, it looks so neat! Good shapes!!

I think the one thing I'd say if you're looking for areas of improvement is maybe focus on color a bit more! Specifically making color schemes a little more cohesive. I feel like some of the more colorful images (the blue funky guy standing on TNT for instance) have a bit of an all-over-the-place color scheme, and while I adore very colorful art, I feel like you could adjust some colors and maybe tint the lighting/shadows to make the more complex multicolored pieces look more... unified I guess, balanced, if that makes any sense. For instance, the pink wolf would benefit from maybe some cool-colored shadows to tie in the background! The dog with the dreidel does a good job of this, he really looks like he's in a blue room rather than sorta pasted onto a background. c:

A lot of people have already covered your strenghts, so I'll cut to the chase and say the main thing which stands out to me is that you could use more cast shadows. You generally have a good idea of your shapes and lighting, but I notice a lot of pieces rely heavily on gradients in areas where a sharper cast shadow would feel more at home and just read better, be it by itself or as an additional shadow on top of or under the gradient.

Thank you both for the advice!!
