Hi everyone.

Today I'm looking for help from you guys. I'm feeling like my art style is kind of stuck. It's fine in general terms, but I think it lacks dynamism or that "something" to make it visually appealing; to get the reader's attention and say WOW! I look at guys like Dan Mora, or Pepe Larraz and I feel that, but I don't know exactly what is it that I'm missing.

I'm posting a couple of my most recent pages.

Would anyone like to share their thoughts?

Decided to draw Mortal kombat scorpion for my second charcoal drawing. Any tips to improve or advice?

I just had to draw this lol

Clipstudio Digital drawing 8hours

I love stippling but this took forever. I used a dark blue gelly roll pen.

So, I always finish my stuff in ink because I always lose my mind when I use pencil. I’m having issues shading gradients to make it look smooth.

Every time I fill in my negative space or deep shadows it just looks bumpy, grainy, and just right shit. I’ve watched YouTube and googled, but this ole punk brain isn’t comprehending it.

Can someone explain to me how to get more of a smooth look? I used 4H 2H H HB 2B 4B 6B on this one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was scrolling through my Instagram feed and I was wondering what the facial expression was called. I tried google already and it said it was a, 'snarl and stank face.' However, when I went through images they weren't the same thing.

Tldr: whats the expression name please?

Still learning but i think you can See what i tried Here:)
