since I've pretty much nailed pixel shading that I like doing, and all that other stuff :F

shading you like doing is shit

everything is either shaded too flat, makes little to no sense, or you've shaded way too much and made everything look like a topographical map

Really, facial anatomy is the only thing I plan on "actually" learning since I like doing my own kind of anatomy for bodies (no, i don't mean super-warped omg deformity, more of a stylish choice) and it's the thing I've had the most problem with, next to hands.

this is stupid also

learn proper anatomy for the entire body, and get good at it

when you've reached the point that you can draw/sprite an entire human body that doesn't look like it was hit in the face with a car and has tumors covering certain limbs you can start trying more extreme stylistic ways to do it, but until then all you're doing is coming up with excuses to avoid having to improve more than you could
