Hey Tsuchie92,I will try to give you a review on your painting.First of all let me start with things you are already doing quite well. I especially like the color combination, red-black-white, it works great. Also the tiny yellow highlights arenice.In addition I think, you managed to pull of a very nice fusion of the two characters you chose.Also the flow of your picture is something to mention, especially the coat.But still there are a few technical aspects you could improve.1) PoseBy looking at your picture I can clearly see how you want to have the characters pose, but it has some flaws.While head and legs are facing directly towards the viewer, the upper body is almost rotated 90 degrees to the left. This is unrealistic, try to stand that way, it is not very comfortable if not impossible.So I made a little paintover how it might work.Just an idea. I also changed the right arm a bit, because having it just hanging down takes something away from the overall dynamic of the figure.Also you might want to take a look on anatomy again, because the facial structure is a wee bit of, also the left hand needs a little bit of improvement, especially the thumb.Speaking of the face: Don't be shy to add some dark colors, like black, to the eyes to really make them stand out. As you may know the viewers eyes are drawn to the eyes of a charakter almost imediately, so give us something a little more noticable2) LightingHere are two things I would like to mention : the direction of light and the intensity.2.1) DirectionHaving light from more than one direction is either a mistake or indicates the use of more than one light sorce. Since I do not know if you tried something like that, I will just point some things out.The shadows on the blade of the scythe(the light grey part) indicates just one light source from the right side.On skirt and coat the light comes from right behind, on legs and upper body including the head it comes from the right side. On the right boot and the hair even from the left side.But overall it is a "weird" mixture. Try to start with just one light source, e.g. from the right side maybe from above the character, just try it.2.2) IntensityAlso the intensity of the light varies quite a bit. While you added very strong light on the upper body and skirt the rest, e.g. the weapon and the boots have softer lighting.Try to give the light a more even intensity.Some parts like the straps and buckles on the left boot do not have any light and shadow.I guess these are the major points.Just some additional thoughts: You could try to show different materials. We can tell apart materials by there reflection or absorption of light. For example you could give the weapon a more metallic shine, add some folds to the clothes, because right now the surface looks ( I mean the skirt ) a little bit static.But again, I don't know, how long you have been drawing for and it doesn't matter. I just try to help you with the points you can improve, but don't forget: there are also quite some things you have done well, which I mentioned earlier. You can be confident and build your drawings on these things, while impoving your weak points.I hope I could help you and if something is not quite clear feel free to ask me.GreetsNayio
