Hey, @Christopher Lebreault! This is a fun drawing, I love how joyful it feels! I think you did a pretty good job using these references to draw the characters in poses from your imagination! @Magda PG already pointed out what I also think is the most essential point to work on some more: perspective. More specifically, the perspective of the scene, mainly including the swing structure and the cast shadows. I made a draw-over to show what I believe should be adjusted on the shape of these elements. I also made a little GIF that looks like a step-by-step tutorial, but actually it's not; it's just a more detailed explanation of what's going on underneath in order for you to understand all the concepts involved in the process of figuring this out. In other words, I wouldn't expect you to be able to fully adjust your drawing based solely on my explanations, so below are a few additional suggestions for the long run which I believe is what will effectively help you understand and use this. As an overall suggestion, what I'd recommend is to study how to build a perspective grid - you won't believe how much easier sketching in perspective becomes once we get familiar with this technique. Here's where I learned it from (it's a paid series, but I believe it's a worthy investment): https://ctrlpaint.myshopify.com/collections/foundation-skills/products/perspective-sketching-1-the-basics If you have other perspective resources you'd rather study from, no problem! Ultimately, the key is learning the main concepts of perspective in order to figure out how to build the structure of the scene. And for details on more specific things on lighting and shadow shapes, I'd suggest this other series: https://ctrlpaint.myshopify.com/collections/foundation-skills/products/basic-rendering-2-imaginary-light-shadow It's also a paid one, but I helped me a lot before, that's why I recommend it. Anyway, essentially any learning resource on basic lighting should already be helpful somehow, if you prefer. Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions. Good studies!

Very cute! I think you could work on your stability while inking - the lines meander a bit and are scratchy in areas, but this will just come with lots of practice as your muscle control and dexterity improve. You could also try using a ruler on any straight lines and use a template for circles. I don't like to do that when I'm sketching, but for a clean and finished linework it's a good idea :)

really nice, the lines are kinda wonky, for that i suggest draw lines rapidly and confident, from the bottom of the page to the top

Hey Christopher, I don't really know these characters, but constructing "cartoony characters" follows a lot of the same rules for drawing the human figure. They are built from 3D shapes, with a center line and lines used to place the elements in the proper place in perspective. I did some quick sketches to show you what I mean and how I would tackle these characters for a model sheet or production drawing. I hope this helps you :)
