well isnt all sketches flat untill you shade them / paint them
i think this will look 100% better once i do so i just gota figure out how to do it

no not at all, plenty of things can indicate depth without adding any shading or color
heres an example of a dragon in line art that has forms

its not perfect but heres some things that guy is doing that you arent that is making his dimensional and yours flat
-his scales follow the forms they rest on. They wrap around his head or neck or tail for example. Your scales are a flat texture slapped on top that doesnt change.
-his posing is 3/4 while yours is strict profile, limbs come forward and backward in space indicating depth while yours is straight on
-his lines indicate shapes, they form rhythms, and straights vs curves. This is shape design and it is more advanced but huge. Take a look at your back calf for example, its like a bubble on his leg, the shape is this (), for it to be a rhythm, you must offset it. Or a straight vs curve is appealing which is like |)
hope that helps
and btw art classes in high school and art classes in general dont teach much unless you have the right teacher (which is super rare)
