Okay, @JustLooking123, check this.
It looks messy, however, it can help you with some specific stuff.

The most important thing to take notice, is...
The -order and structure-, in the image.

Yes, it is a mess, however, a good structure always have the necessary misleading or deviation, from time to time.

To be an architect, you must master art design first...
This is a basic mold. In this case, with this messy writing.
You refine it, re-order it, and then, re-mod it on your own way.

I think i need to darken the clothes and smooth out the colors a little more (annoying part of using colored pencils, its hard to do smooth, even colors). But I like the idea. What do you think?

That's already gorgeous af man, respect ::bigboss
 
Alright, I tried to smooth it out more, I could keep going but I think I'm done
This one actually just looks & feels a lot better, maybe because there's less of the canvas showing, or more gradient, can't really pinpoint it. Seems like colored pencil drawings have their own tricks!
 
honest question, whats wrong with his arms?

you tell me, I suck at drawing bodies, lol. I need to work on my anatomy and figure practice. But that's on top of a thousand things I have to get better at.

Edit: if you mean the yellow things on his arms that's just how he looks.

body too small/skinny, ams too big, looks weird.

All fair, I mostly draw still lifes and portraits. Haven't dabbled into poses, figures or anatomy yet. This was mostly from memory too. Only way to get better is to make mistakes. Honestly, I don't fully understand how people design their OCs from memory without making multiple mistakes. They must have studied a lot or are more talented than me.

Edit: Looking at it carefully I think I made the arms too thick. They are kind of variable depending on if they are super charged or not, but normally they are thinner. Also the body is not perfectly symmetrical and the brain is good at detecting that.

Actually, his arms are pretty huge and weird looking at times in the anime. Its hard to get right the look. Should've used a reference for the drawing. But yeah the torso is way bigger in this reference than in my drawing. I think the torso is a bigger problem than the arms.
