I’m going to hit you with the cold hard facts

#

Your coloring is half done, no shading no nothing

#

Its kinda hard to get clarity in the characters

#

The text boxes are weeeird

#

There’s little color contrast

#

But you got this

#

Just keep refining your skills

#

also its a bit boring for pannels to only show character half body shots

#

Have a few just showing like an expression, a whole body, or a landscape

#

And it is a good thing to note that most people are interested in buying pictures instead of whole comics because it can be hard to get into and the quality difference

Hello,
I just want to add reminder that your worth as artist is not tied with how much works you sell. Commissions are more about marketing, often posting, presence on social media etc etc. Make sure that you are focusing on yourself and your skills first before you worry about commissions and clients. Make sure that you are not burning yourself up just because people didn't notice your work yet. As I said, it's more about regular posting and such which is whole different thing to focus

I need you to dial it way down. People are trying to help you understand. Sometimes the truth is not what you want, but is what you need to hear

Also your skills in art are very low. I dont even have to analyze it and can easily tell that you are a beginner. Theres nothing wrong with that, but it is an important thing to understand about your position rn. You will need to improve on your foundation and technical skills before you get to the point where lots of people would consider buying your art. Its hard to hear, but its something you need to understand

I assure you you are not as good as you think you are. Theres what is called the dunning krugger effect. Its basically how your confidence in your skills relates to your actual skill. This applying to all skills not just art. When you just start out you see your skill and know youre not good. You learn a little and think you know almost anything there is to know so you dont think theres anything to learn. Later you start to realize you dont know much so your confidence plummets and you end up thinking youre worse than you actually are. Then as you learn you gain confidence gradually, but you never feel like you know more than you actualy do. You rn are at the part where you think youre way better than you actually are.
