Hello Crystal and welcome to the guild.

I see that you didn't post any specific pictures you need help on, so I guess you want an overall review of your deviantArt gallery?

What I see in your gallery are mainly monotone pencil or pen sketches without much shading. You have potential but also a lot of room for improvement~

You say that you want to learn more about lighting. The best way to learn through practice. So go get a lamp and a simple object and set them up somewhere and start drawing. It might be boring, but the more you draw the better you get.

Also as a general note, even if you're going to focus on "Anime" art, try to draw and observe real people too, because even anime is based on real people and principles of color/lighting etc are universal.

Maybe you want to try coloring some of your drawings too?

You can also look through the extensive list of tutorials we have posted in our main forum :].

Feel free to ask us if you have any specific questions or would like help on a picture.
