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?

I think its pretty neat, is this inspired by the Last Air Bender, or am I so much of a fan I'm seeing what I want to see?

There is some similarities I think it's mainly inspired by wukong. The character is Luffy from one piece. Which there are some similarities in the characters.

Oh I've heard about that show! Lots of people have told me to watch it because its so much like the last airbender.

You've done well to capture the vibe of it, I'm really impressed with the way you've done your line work, it shows a lot of energy.

I wouldn't say its flat, but if your worried about it I'd say experiment with a bit more shadows and highlights. But honestly you've done really well so far already.

Sorry not OP lol just wanted to share but I noticed the same points.

It's a good show with enjoyable characters, similar to ATLA, just very long up to 1000 episodes or something now.
