I think the coloring on it is bad. Advices or Criticisms?
This is my second try at base icons.

Looks ok,other than the fact that on side vies the arm closer to us should be lower and seem longer atm it looks short.

How is the shading and contrast between tones? I tried my best; however, I'm not familiar with shading nor coloring (setting contrast between tones) | |
 Id recommend some warmer colors more like this. | |

Thank you for your advice! I will try to make it warmer. Bit abour how intense should the color be? I was trying to make it semi realistic/anime style | |
Nothing more intense then the colors I posted will be necessary for a white skintone, unless you are aiming for some sort of highly stylized game. If you plan to have multiple nationalities obviously your colors will need to be darker and warmer.

Thank You again. I have a question though. Does that base icon look anime styled as I intended to make?

IDK i cant really tell since its not zoomed in like in paint,seems ok though here i made this while i was bored........HUMAN ANATOMY 101
 You can use that as a reference if you can idk....my mind works differently than most. | |
 Since you seem to really want critique on shading--heres some ok i opened it up with paint and i dislike how you made the collar bone darker than the the shoulder i added some shading to arms to let the eyes see there's dimension and not just flat surface.The arm has elbow where it dips you might wanna make this darker,same with back of knees and lower back. | |

Thank You!! I can see that this looks so much better!! Where ahould I shade more on side view? Sorry if Im asking too much. | |
 My edit on left yours original on right. Note-My side views arnt best so you will need to use good judgment on this. Sorry im not best at explaining,ill try.In the "dip" of the inner elbow use the darker shade,on the ribs under the arm should also be shaded.The chest,on chest there should be more shading,and legs are cylindrical,which can be thrown out by not curving your shading. | |
I have learned a lot more about shading today thanks to you. I greatly appreciate your help! I cant thank you enough!

I was trying to make a punching animation. But whatever I do, the next state after this seems a bit off. Advices Anyone?
 | |
If that is your only punching state, you need to do some others. Make him pull back, punch, then follow through. It looks better, and more realistic.
