So, like I mentioned in Aquarius Improvement Meme, after more then 2 years, I decided to draw again this "poison aquarius". I tried to work with colours, so the would fot together better and used multiple references from magazines and internet. I was not sure if I should keep the messy lineart or redraw it and in the end I decided to keep it, because it was quite coresponding with the picture in my opinion. By the way right now, I am thinking of opening commisions, but I am not sure if it's a good idea, because I still do not have many deviations on DA, and style of those few isn't very consistent. What do you think? I would love to hear, what do you think in the comments

Hi Aquarius! Thanks for joining the feedback round. I checked the rest of your gallery, and the improvement meme you did for this while I was here, and it's great that you've made so much progress already 
.
The idea for this drawing is very nice. It tells a very clear story. The pose of the character is working quite well. And the anatomy isn't bad either - apart from a few minor mistakes (The hands though, do need a bit of work, they look a bit skeletal - to be fair, drawing hands is tricky!) so I won't nitpick about those things.
There's two things that stand out to me, and I think if you practice these your work will really benefit from it.
The first thing would be your brush work. The lineart, as well as your painting is a little messy. It's not always a bad thing to work with rough lines and brush strokes (Most of my own studies are like that too), but there's a difference between rough and messy. In this case I feel like there are a lot of brush strokes that don't contribute to the drawing.
Try to make your lines in long clean strokes, even when sketching, opposed to creating lines out of short segmented strokes.
If you find it difficult at first, simply make time to erase some of the distracting strokes every now and then during the process.
The second thing that I'd like to suggest, is to study drawing and painting different materials a bit.
This is most needed for convincingly drawing the Chemical stuff that is being poured from the barrel.
I'd recommend finding some reference for that.
Example 1 if it's meant to be sirup like cache4.asset-cache.net/gc/2001…
or more like this, if it's meant to be thin like water footage.framepool.com/shotimg/…
Currently, in your drawing it looks a bit like a sheet of green cloth is flowing out of the barrel. Painting so that different kinds of materials look right takes quite a bit of practice, but it's fun and rewarding and it will do amazing things for the end result.
I hope these pointers will help you in the future. Keep up the good work, and keep having fun. Improvement will follow.
