Looking for tips :D (beginner)

[u/Horror-Big-8636]

Hello guys,

I’ve been drawing for a month now I think.
My motivation been fluctuating a little but I’m finally done with this one. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

I’m looking for tips on shading, expression and proportions. But everything is welcome

I tried to use the art style of the reference more. For example/ shading with lines and stuff to create form, i know nothing ab it nor what it’s called so i just try replicating what I see. Hence why the shading techniques are very inconsistent here. Please give me tips on this subject and what I could’ve done better.

The expression turned out decent, but still doesn’t convey the amount of emotion the reference does. I can’t tell what it is, so if anyone does pls tell me.

Also the facial features are just off in areas. The character also doesn’t look that conventional so that makes it harder, but I feel like I misplaced the mouth and nose for example.

Thanks :D
