You're relying on the blur tool too much. It's good for a base but you should be adding detail afterwards.

Add particles in the water, make the light shine through (or make it more apparent), and study the shapes of water and the reflections.

its almost 2:30 in the morning but I'll check later for some good videos/tutorials to help.

I'd agree with those above, the 300 for headshot and 500+ for full body with the background. Because YES I understand how hard those are and hey, you gotta pay for products.

If people complain about the good prices, one simple solution: don't accept their comissions.

I think the 300+ is great, range especially since you've worked so hard and improved so much! If people want to complain stand you ground and show them some older works compared to recent so they know how much passion you have. ❤

Agreeing with the others 300+ your art looks amazing, for the water, im not very good but perhaps make a darker background for distance and choose one direction for the light to come from, the particles thing is a good idea as well. Maybe start simple look at pictures of things underwater and try replicating them. replicating things usually helps me a bit, also remember things are a tad darker when they're wet so for white creatures use a greyer tone. You're art over all has an amazing and unique style btw I absolutely love it.

Thank you for the feedback <3 I will try to add tiny creatures into the background to bring life to the underwater sea maybe? Again thank you <3

New drawing that needs help .-.

Tell me what I did wrong! I followed everything, I even did the dark blue around it..should I add some type of fishes lol something.

I think fish would make it pop but honestly its looks great to me you are grabbing the concept im just not very good at explaining hold on. ill find some peoples examples.

also blood in water thins and expands more perhaps try to dilute it a bit and spread it.

I agree with Mavi. Another thing is I'd look up videos/photos of how blood disperses in water :)

It looks really good though! And water is hard, don't worry if you don't get it right away. A ton of practice and referencing from images and you'll get it.
