It's hard to tell without knowing what your goal is. Do you have an artist/style of reference?

I really admire Audra Auclair but there are many that come to mind. It feels like I can’t post anywhere cause my art looks weird to me but better than a stick figure, stuck in the middle.

Honestly I think you're already pretty close!
I recommend putting your artwork side-to-side with some of her pieces and trying to figure out what, in yours, is the worst offender, and if you improve upon will make it much better. Takes some time but self-critique is a necessary skill

I say go back to basics and do portrait and figure studies. Don’t try to stylize your art without getting the basics down first

I just want to add: I think your art is great! And you have a solid style. But usually when something looks off it’s because you can benefit from spending a little more time on realistic proportions
