Amazing job! I like how you suggest the floor of the environment, exercise, and the crab 
And the manga, pretty good job too, I like how dynamic it is and the use of perspective, if I had to say something, maybe the shading from the foot behind makes it look weird, like flat, maybe if we consider the volume of the ankle. Something like this...
Thanks!
And I think you're right on the ankle shade! I'll add those edits a bit later today.
Small update today. Simply completed exercice 2 for clothes.
The model:
Dressed up:
Figured it would be fun to have her cosplay as Haley from Stardew Valley.
I used gradient shading to apply the colors, and a correction layer to adjust saturation.
The shirt is a bit tight by design, but there are still some notable tensions points, like the buttons.
It was an interesting exercice. Next is 10 clothed references (linearts). I think I have an idea on what to do with those, though I think those will take some time.
awe yea that shading as well as the folds all make it look so good!
Thanks! you'll have noticed that even if the exercice is for lineart only I make an effort to add some shading to it. Not only do I feel it makes it look better (and make me happier with the result), but I've been trying to do a conscious effort to practice shading as much as possible to get better at it. I feel it's one of those things that help the most and is many times hard to get right.
Move on to the 10 cloth exercices from photos.
Since this is about clothes analysis, figured I would use the oportunity to dress up some of my manga characters while still keeping the reference clothes.
That way I can also practice refining some of the designs I'm working on.
So in general, I'm aiming to imitate, by copying, even if it's not completly a copy. not sure if that makes sense.
It's gona take a while to do all 10, especially since I insist on adding some shading, but here are the first two:
And another recent page from the manga. Very happy how this one turned out. I'm trying to play around with some effects and framing.
I'll probably post again until I complete some of them, which will take a while as I work on the manga in paralel.
eyy this new manga page is super cool!
I only read a bit of the manga so far.. does Seki have lighting powers? 
das pretty cool
Heyo! Many thanks!
Not quite lighting powers, just good old fashined ki energy some of these characters use to "boost" their physical capabilities, not unlike Deku from My Hero Academia.
It's something I'll eventually elaborate on and explain more during the story, in extreme cases like the one portrayed in this frame, it manifests like lighting sorrounding the limbs or user.
Though it's mostly for visual flair
oooh i see that looks rly cool haha 
(kamehameha LOL)
Haha, well, I'm obviously very inspired with Dragon Ball xD, no way around that. Even some characters designs like Seki are clearly emulating that style (what with the spiky banana hair and all)
Inspriation comes from different sources though, and then we add a bit on top of that and try to switch things up a bit.
But I still start off with the basics Dragon ball set forth.
haha there aint nothin wrong with that
3 more done. 5 out of 10 complete.
You'll notice more and more differences as I take more liberties with some of the photo references. As I said, I'm trying to imitate, and copy clothes as best as possible, but not outright copying it, since I change some body proportions and other small details on purpose.
But it should still look similar and accurate on it's own.
Just like potraits, I think I'm growing more and more comfortable with the process. I'm enjoying this exercice quite a bit and very happy with the progress.
Also worked on a manga page, progess overall is going slow, but steady!
Hope you like these. I'm off to continue working!
Nice studies! Manga page looks great!
Thanks a lot! I feel like I'm learning more and more with every exercice and piece. Kinda wish I had more time to dedicate to this craft, but the time we do spend is always fun!
oooh i love how you did the light and shadow and the blur lines! your action scenes are always so good!
Thanks! I does take some work, so it's encouraging to hear it's turning out pretty good!
A few more days, a few more updates.
8 out of the 10 cloth from photo references exercices complete so far.
I feel like I stabilized in a style I'm comfortable with. So just continuing with the style for now.
And as usual, one more page of the manga done as well. This one took some work... still thinking of refining shadows, but I feel it's "good enough", so I think I'll just move to the next one.
That's it for now! Have a good one! Back to work!
ooooh these b lookin rly good!
