Edit: did you see the small alteration I did to the arm?

you know so it doesn't look quite so flat, and would imply it's bending away slightly.
EDIT: Would anyone like to see some of the 20 drawings I've just done for my little randomburn book? They range from terrible to weird.

I think it might actually be because the shoulder pad on his left shoulder isn't slanting down in the same way as on the right.
I don't know, I hate trying to draw figures. Did you use a reference?

I only used reference of my own arms in a jacket, and that was just for the folds and some positioning of arm.
I have no shoulder pads as reference.

As for Cleo's picture then there really ought to be a clear rendering process for this kind of thing ( I know you can't make everyone do it the same but there is an efficient way ) and if you get hooked up on final rendering when there are parts of the image not even underpainted then there is a huge risk of the image becoming disjointed.
At the very least you should get your sketch down, ( inked if you are going that way ) flats layer, underpainting, shadow layer for depth and then all your paint layers to give it life. If you get hooked on making a particular area perfect before you have started another area you become very loathe to correct those earlier areas and can end up with something that's not flowing.
This is an opinion. I'm sober and not an expert.

as I was working in photoshop until my stuff is actually finished.
I don't comprehend why people do this. Make it public when it's finished. That's what artists do, even the worst attention whore waits until it's done.

don't push anyone else's work into the archive because you can't be arsed to finish something before fishing for an ego boost. That's what existing threads are for.
