Ignore the second hardly touched girl she hasn’t even been started I’m just mapping out the vision, the second blue girl, how is her pose anatomy? It’s going to be like a dance “esque” thing so the pose won’t exactly be the most natural but it should atleast look decent and the anatomy should be accurate, advice/opinions please!! It’s chalk pastel so it’s super easy to fix at this stage

I'm by no means an artist, that's more my sister's thing, but I do design a lot of characters for some story ideas I have and I'd like to be able to sketch them out. I just finished drawing this random character to sort of see what all I remember and where my skill level is at. It's definitely not good and I have a few things I specifically want to focus on getting better at but I figure I should ask someone more skilled at art to give me some critiques on what specific aspects need fixing/ what I really need to focus on.

Obviously anatomy is one of them, I suck at drawing bodies so that's definitely something I need to work on and some of the shading is flatter than I'd like. Let me know exactly what you all think.

I'm pretty new to drawing. This is what I can do so far. What should be my next focus to improve??

I’ve been trying to learn more about composition, like value grouping and shape design, object placement to lead the eye, etc. but I do a lot of comic stuff, and I don’t really know how to apply these things I’m learning about in scenes where the background is a set design. Sorry if my question is unclear at all, but I guess I’m asking if there’s any good advice or tutorials on making compositions as strong as possible when you don’t have full control over colors and placement of things? My biggest issue is definitely values.
