Was trying to draw shenron again but got lazy and tired ...pretty much gave up trying to work on it any further (no details or better shading).
I also think I drew him a bit too small...

Its good to me , but shading is wrong in most parts of the body..The light source is supposed to be the floor(where the dragonballls are) and when you summon shenron,the sky becomes Dark,so no light comes from it.

also i recomend use pillow shading for the mouth(in the mouth-tongue)

yeah I'm well aware of where the light source was but then I was following my reference picture:

maybe its because I made the stomach color too dark in comparison to the light green

I'm not sure if it was intended but he looks way too nice looking. In the picture he looks kind of vicious, with a meanish face here he's smiling and looks even more like the Dragon Quest monster that ripped off of Shenron (for those curious, Divinegon. It's a green chinese dragon that looks EXACTLY like Shenron). Though if this was the intended art style (as I'm not sure) it's fine. It's the only quirk I can find in it, the rest looks very nice.

I felt like i didnt have enough room to make it more vicious or probably i could of added more detail to change it

Its not bad but it won't make you art stand out. You should spend more time on it. Make it your own.

It generally has no purpose except for very few cases. Think of it as a bad practice in general, like some features of the DM programming language.

Its not bad,Pillow shading its like the light source comes just in front of your face,Wich is half impossible.

you could better put a darker color in the tongue and not pillow shade it.

No, pillow shading is bad, and should not be practiced.

It's the only reason you could give, seriously. If you want to go ahead make ugly art.
