Any critique or advice for my atmospheric drawings

Hello everyone! I make comics but suck at backgrounds, shading, and lighting (but im getting better). I draw cartoony so I havent focused on anything but simple lighting! Ive done a college class that delt with perspective and lighting, but besides that I don't know what I'm doing!

I've been playing with multiply and glow layers for shadows and highlights! I know "less is always more" but I fear my lack of knowledge in shading makes me overcomplicate everything!

Im trying to get better at backgrounds and rendering this summer (hence the beach themed drawings)!

I feel like im always doing too much and overcomplicating the lighting which makes stuff look kinda flat! Also I feel like maybe my colors could be utilized better to convey the tempature of an enviorment!

Also im positive theres many perspective and anatomy errors in these and im open to critism and help with those too!

Oh wise ones please give me any knowledge and help!!!

Piercing infected or just super irritated?

I got this piercing 2 months ago and have really not had any issues with it! Last night I had really bad nightmares and probably thrashed around a bunch in my sleep! Im guessing my piercings might have caught on a pillow or something!

Woke up with my ear hurting and then the pain, redness, and swelling just got worse throughout the day! Clear liquid and a little blood has been coming out of the first peircing. Ive been having on and off pain all day. When I have pain its throbbing and sometimes sharp but honestly not that bad.

It just feels late to suddenly get an infection! Anyone know if this looks infected, or is it just mega irritated...

Anyone having weird graphic glitches on the lenovo legion go s?

I have a Lenovo Legion Go s with the z2 chip! I have never dropped, spilled liquid on, or physically damaged (to my knowledge) my legion! I keep it clean, in its case, and have been very careful with it!

These types of glitches started happening after I got stardew valley on steam! At first I thought it was a stardew valley glitch, but then it started happening in other games and on my home screen!

This is what I have learned:

  1. It always happens after I haven't used my device in a week or 2

  2. It happens on low or full battery

  3. Usually fixes itself after a restart (but might happen again after a couple hours)

  4. If I start using my device daily, it stops happening all together

My guess is that it is caused when my battery is drained too low (even if it's recharged after) or it's caused when my device hasn't been used in a while.

I thought it was maybe physically damaged at some point, but it fixes itself after consistent use so I'm not sure.

Besides this, my legion works perfectly fine! Anyone have any idea what's going on?
