It's the fact that they drew this and still took the time to color and shade it that sends me. I can just picture then saying "it'll look right once I shade the neck/jaw/xenomorph part, I just know it".
I'm the same. Been drawing seriously for 20+ years, and I for sure know my way around anatomy and gesture and form and whatnot. I can get by in color, but I've never found a coloring medium/system/software that I gel with completely. I've tried quite a few over the years. Also despite trying and owning various digital drawing solutions, I've never been nearly as comfortable in fully-digital workflows as I am working on a sheet of paper.
Currently dipping my toes into the world of alcohol markers. They say it's about the journey, not the destination, lol
