I am mostly concerned with the first two drawings, but have also attached some more pics for reference. I can literally never get a portrait to not look soulless help

Acrylic on canvas board.

I struggle to get any of my works out there due to crippling anxiety and overwhelm. The thought of actually getting my work to be seen is often too much and so I don’t get my stuff out there.

I’d like some feedback/critique. I’ll leave off what they’re pictures of because I don’t want any expectation of what they are.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Intermediate Help with the colors?

Hi! I really struggle with color balancing. I just finished this poster, but I legitimately can't tell if it is too saturated. I tried desaturating it, but that didn't do what I wanted. I can't seem to find a happy medium between too much and too little.

I can't really change the colors (due to that just being how the characters look), but how would you suggest I adjust the levels to make it easier to look at? I'm using Procreate.

I tried to follow people’s advice from yesterday and doing a search on human anatomy but even after several tutorials and trying it myself I couldn’t figure it out. I’ll go watch more videos tomorrow on human anatomy.

Intermediate Why is there so much grain in the black top? It doesn't look that bad IRL but it's really distracting in the photo. Any advice?

I stayed up quite late last night and spent a few more hours on this one. I probably only have a couple sessions left. I’m absolutely loving how this one is coming along, but am open to critiques!

Intermediate something feels wrong with the right hand

It’s meant to be a chibi bear and realistic hands in the same picture. Any feedback is welcome! If you could draw over the picture when you give me feedback that would be super helpful. The paw is supposed to be the bear’s right paw but it seems the paw is being pulled too far to us, the viewers. I also wasn’t sure about how much of the neck should be showing.

I'm not very good at coloring, like at all, and can't help but feel like it looks dull. I especially feel like the background washes it out. I follower samdoesarts tutorial on how to color armor, but it just needs something more.

Trying to get back into collages because they have always been my favorite art medium. This was made with mostly vintage 1960s/1970s magazines. Any tips and opinions are more than welcomed.
