Art Critique?

Hey guys, I have been trying out new art styles and trying to mash them together into an art style I like. This is a drawing I did and I was just wondering if anyone could critique it. Would love to hear from you guys!

Hey @jsg
before you get too caught up in finding a style, you need to work on your drawing skills, then you can stylize your drawings with confidence.
Let me start by saying the head and face are awesome, good job. The rest of the drawing needs gesture, anatomy, proper lighting and a sense of dimension to shapes. I did a quick sketch to show you what I mean, I know it is not in the style that you draw, but you need to focus on your drawing skills, and I hope this helps :)

Hi! I like your linework, I think the proportions of the arm to the rest of the body don't match, so it's not all in one perspective. You could pick a perspective where you're looking at the figure front on by making the arm smaller like in the first image. OR: You could change the rest of the body to fit the perspective of the arm being the closest part to the viewer, by thinking of it as looking up at a tower, this means the placement of the facial features would be a little different as you're looking up at the figure. I hope this helps!
