I usually draw traditionally. I started digital drawing for some months. I'm having issue with coloring/rendering and anatomy . I want to improve my drawings but I don't know how. I feel art blocked too. These are some of my drawings! If anyone can help me to see my mistakes please tell

I think hard shadows would really help

#

Yk, less using the airbrush

#

I liked this one the best

#

So uh

#

The moon is behind her, and that’s the light source

#

So it should be brighter

#

And she’d have a ring light

#

And the rest of her would be more in shadow

#

I also took liberty of making her nose longer and giving her eyebrows

#

But idk if the eyebrow thing was character design or not so idk

I think your stuff looks great so far! 😄
what I like to do is:
put on top of your drawing a multiply layer for the shadows
after that, add an overlay layer to brighten the face and enhance the colors
refine the shadows, start to render on top of everything and play around with tone curve and layers 😄

#I'm having issues with rendering , shadow , lighting etc.
