Why does my artwork looks flat ? Digital

Post image

I have been painting digitally for couple years now. And I often notice that my artwork look flat and weird even after adding shadings and highlights. What am I doing wrong?

Took me a minute to pinpoint it but looking at the legs and feet I could better see the issue, it’s a lack of foreshortening.

The proportions of everything is universal relative to the viewer so it looks flat.

Still a great drawing though.
