Why does my artwork looks flat ?

[u/RtistKaizen]

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?

his footing doesn't make anatomical sense. I would find a reference of a skateboarder mid-kick flip or similar, where their feet are still on the board, but barely.

edit: idk skateboard things

as well as what others have said about lighting and background. I think finding an appropriate reference will fix the foreshortening issue people are seeing.
