This character looks like a fire diamond somehow. Whats the backstory?

Interesting. I'd say you are a good drawer as well. What makes you in love with female aesthetics and how do you describe that?!

I just love the energy coming from these sketches. Who is this character?!

Right I understand that. But I mean in general. What are you struggling with right now? We Want to offer free advice.

yeah! Thats the spirit.

How to add more drama to a two point perspective background!

Think about your picture/image in terms of foreground, middle ground and background.

Carefully place those background layers on a scale from dark to light.

Does this make sense?

Why are you afraid of drawing backgrounds?

Its okay. What are you challenged by right now? When it comes to working with references?

Give yourself a deadline. Did you hear about the guy that made a videogame based off of Van Gogh's paintings? Took him like 7-10 years I think. Just come up with the DRIVE and back it with strong EMOTION about WHY you want it.
