Hello!

Love them all! Especially the stars in the third one and the light and shadow on #1. If I have any criticism it's that I would want the eye area to be lit a little more. I adore the look she's giving and I get that you have to seek a bit to notice, but it's a little too dark to make out (could be my monitor/screen). If not, pehaps a dim streak of light would work (aka old Hollywood lighting).



They call it 'Rim and "Shatner" Light' here with other examples

Your artwork is full of expression, it tells a story in the illustration.

Keep drawing!

I do want to get into motion design! Though the learning curve is a bit high I'll see how far I can get with After effects this year

[galled]

Looking forward to it!

I think one strategy is to nest layers (character with sub-parts sub layered--body, limbs, facial bits) and background and background moving elements. You can animate layers by adding motion! It makes so much easier to keep track of!
