i have watched tutorials, tried different rendering styles, art styles in general, and i can’t make it look not ‘flat’. it literally looks like separated from the page, and the lineart itself, does anyone have any tips on how i can improve?

first one is the piece that’s REALLY frustrating me tonight, and some others of mine

any and all tips are appreciated im so stuck 😭

Add lighting in your work that will make it look more dynamic and less flat

#

Look this one it's not made by me I took it from online to show you how lighting will help you

#

See the first one there's no lighting just shading then in second one we have light and it makes the artwork look less flat and in third one we have detailed lighting which makes it look even better

#

So adding shading and lighting will help you
