How do I make the lighting look not ass 🥲

I was trying to play around with lighting and colors using an Asaro head reference. I am aware the glasses do not appear transparent; that is a stylistic choice.

Also, background IS due for change.

Portrait angle crit?

I have no experience drawing in this angle for full pieces, so I'm not exactly confident. I wanted to know if the proportions or perspective looked off before I moved on to the rendering! For my reference, I used a basic asaro head in the same angle to get a good reference on this angle.

The hell is wrong with this piece?

I was really proud of it, but nobody else really seems to like it. Like, people really have an aversion to it. It's not getting any likes anywhere, and it's completely unnoticed. Why? Why is it so bad? can someone please tell me why?

I'm a beginner, right? If so, what is the main thing I should focus on improving (proportions, gesture work, etc)?

I've been told I'm a beginner many times, and I don't know why. Most art in here is new, but some of it was created earlier this year.

I feel like one of my fav ocs is chopped asf

Someone on artfight called him cute but I feel like they're lowkey bullying my man behind his back. Please tell me what I should do about him. He's not supposed to be some manhwa protag, but he's not supposed to be too unappealing or uncanny looking

Btw I don't really think he's ugly, personally, I'm just worried people find him uncanny.

Seriously, what do you guys even do to get attention in your fandoms???

I'm genuinely so lost. No matter how hard I work or what quality of art I pump out, nobody seems to like it. It's like I have to work twice as hard to get half of the appreciation or reward as literally anyone else.

And, I mean literally anyone else. Someone could post a 10 minute sketch with no composition, black and white with scratchy lines, and get the same amount of likes or even more as my fully rendered pieces. I thought maybe it was because people didn't recognize me, so I just started working myself to post more fully rendered pieces. I spend almost all the time now just working on art, only to see it get absolutely no attention or love in my fandom space every time I post. How the fuck are yall doing this shit? I feel like if I post something even below my current quality, I'll lose what little standing i had.

I'm genuinely going insane

I had to censor the OC's identities because they're self-conscious. Art critique?

/uj all OCs "displayed" (not really but you get my point) are mine, dw

Can you recognize this character?

Working on a portrait comm of a character from an existing property for a friend of mine. He says it looks like the character, but I'm unsure.

I decided to make my artstyle more appealing

It's perfect. I removed all the icky parts like the nose, the brow and the shadows.

What am I doing wrong? Is it my composition not catching many eyes? Is it my style? Am I js bad at art?

Uploaded some recent pieces for reference. Whenever I post, I always do significantly worse than other people in the same spaces. I thought maybe it was because I post OC art, but even people also posting oc art get way more traction than me. I've tried improving my technical skill, uploading more, and improving my composition, but I always get around the same amount of attention as sketches or unfinished work no matter where I post. Is my art the issue here? If so, how do I improve?
