Alright, critique given! ^
(Also, just so you know ahead of time, I'm not very familiar with the Hazbin Hotel characters but I do know them lol. So please bear with me if I get their names wrong.)
A reoccurring thing that I noticed in your gallery is that your compositions and the backgrounds are in fact, excellent. I enjoy how Charlie here was presented: the fearful expression on her face + the deep red colors in a dark room signify that there's danger, or a terrifying moment taking place. Probably has something to do with Alastor behind her, maybe? I see his hands there..
Otherwise another thing that I noted while browsing- while this in fact is true, you really need to work on anatomy, especially when it comes to correcting stiff shoulders and hands. While stiff shoulders are appropriate to use in this drawing (due to the fear, surroundings, vibe, etc.) it would end up looking awkward in different situations, like in your Bill parody comic for example:
a silly moment is apparently going on here, and it simply looks awkward to look at Bill's shoulders (in the first panel) from this angle. That is what I would recommend on improving, as well as the hands.
Using a reference for drawings hands helps a bunch, literally! :] The best references you can use are the ones from Pinterest, I've been using them for 2 years now, and they're super helpful. Here's some examples on how to correct/reference your hands:

i.pinimg.com/564x/71/c4/d0/71c…
In the meantime, I don't think you need to work on colors, you are already so good at choosing them. ^ I know that you're in the process of developing your own personal style, and the anatomy isn't going to be easy work when transitioning it in such a way, because it takes time. And believe me, it's definitely worth it!
Sorry that I couldn't give you critiques on traditional art though! I'm terrible at traditional art, so I can't give advice x'D Only on digital tbh.

Thank you so much for the critique! I love it!
And don't worry about the traditional art. Even tho I also draw traditional, I think digital suits me more.^^ But its still fun so I'll keep at it. And mostly traditional art depends on the colors you have and I don't have a big range of Comics.... They are expensive as hell....
Yeah, I know that I have problems with hands, but I never really put much thought in the shoulders! So that's interesting to hear! In the comic, I also noticed in the first panel that I have problems with the shoulders in this perspective but I thought it wouldn't be a big deal. Apparently it is tho XD
If the person is more relaxed, the shoulders go down as far as I know, but I'm kinda afraid that I might turn them too far down? Yeah, I should look at references but do you have maybe a few tips on how to keep an eye on shoulders?
And I love the references! They are great!
Again thank you so much! I always love it when people give me critique and take their time with it! So thank you for the effort!

You're very welcome ^
(Aah I know what you mean, and I totally agree. Plus, traditional requires more skill and time.. The drawing could be potentially messed up by one move or two. Then even worse, there's no "Undo" button, like on digital! Lol!)
Although, it is nice to have both traditional and digital art skills under your belt. Apparently, if you're applying for an art-related job, having both skills boosts the chances of you getting employed (:
Hmm, usually when people have trouble with shoulders, another observation is that the head is narrow + the neck area is rather wide, which makes the head look fused or connected with the rest of the body. That's another aspect I noticed in your art, since the chins of your characters are drawn very closely to the neck:
Perhaps that's the reason why you have trouble with the shoulders? The chin is exactly right above the neck.
I was rather hesitant to write about this, since your art style consistently has this anime vibe to it (you know, where the characters have narrow heads and noses.) It can be a struggle drawing from the head down to the neck and shoulders, because you would want a certain positioning of a character in a drawing. To solve this, I would say don't overthink about it. Practice a lot with the alignment of the neck and shoulders, even though you mess up a lot at first. Like this one i.pinimg.com/564x/63/a1/36/63a… It better explains the importance of the head turning, as it affects the neck and the shoulders.
Many of your characters have elegant clothing. So you can most likely take advantage of this by training yourself how to make folds on clothes look more genuine. It would make the viewer focus on the folds, and it could reduce the character from being so stiff-shouldered. I don't have a problem with how you draw folds on clothes, but they definitely have the potential to become better. There's some repetition on your folds (like repeating crinkles and such) but it can easily be fixed. Here's some examples on how crinkles on clothing should be done:

I've chosen the ones that focus on the torso specifically because that helps a heck ton with the shoulders.
(However! Shoulder pads and tuxedos would already look tight on shoulders, and that is alright to use on stiff-shouldered characters.)
Finally, I encourage you to find out how you learn best when it comes to making art, as it can expand your knowledge, execution, and experience. It also lessens spending way too much time stressing over one single thing in the artwork. Questions that concerns about this mostly revolve around: "Am I a visual learner, or do I prefer to learn better about it from reading/talking about it?" Implementing the way you learn best about art will make you improve much better as an artist.
The majority of artists are visual learners, including myself. Watching speedpaints or art streams of any skilled artist can help a bunch, esp. when you are aware of your flaws. Once again, you're welcome, and I'm glad to be of some assistance at least
