Is there anything in particular you struggle with? Lineart, shading, layout etc

Aah, I'm not quite sure where to start, everyone has their own style! I've seen people who color a sketch first, people who line a sketch first and people who don't use a sketch at all! The thing I usually do when I'm unsure is keep it on a separate layer so I can erase it just in case! :D Sorry I'm not the best at explaining ><

You could always start with some references for dynamic poses, but if you are working without them I have a few suggestions. When you sketch, keep it loose and let it be messy. Dont worry about details in the beginning, just get that rough shape down. The other big thing is utilizing your layers. They are your best friend in digital paintings. If you think your pose or layout is off...make adjustments on another layer instead of erasing.
One thing that has been helping me lately is to zoom out and check the thumbnail. It helps me pick out issues with proportion or layout when I'm sketching.

I hope that helps a little. I look forward to seeing more of your art.
