to keep things simple, ill only critique kaneki and the bgfirstly, the colouring on kaneki seems flat, you havent used enough defining lines or shading, and only using the airbrush doesn't really work in this. I recommend using darker, more saturated tones to create some contrast and a sense of depth, this will help your piece "pop" and appear more 3D. Also try not to rely on the airbrush tool for shading (it really only should be used for minor highlights) instead i recommend blocking out larger areas without blending the shading.I also find the lineart on the hands hard to see, so the hands appear to blend in with each other. When it comes to colouring lineart I recommend choosing a darker colour from the skin tone (much darker)Another issue this piece has is lighting, there isnt a defining light source ( if established could solve the previous problems i listed above)while you appear to have drawn most of the shadows coming from below ( meaning the light is coming above his head) you also have highlights coming from in front of kaneki, whereas the sky indicates the light is coming from behind kaneki.... its a bit confusing. So i recommend before starting a piece you need to establish a light source and/or the direction of it. Adding shadows becomes so much easier after that e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title="(Big Grin)"/>(a helpful tip : shadows are blue if your character is outside, this will help your work also seem less dull)and lastly, the background dosent match the character. Its mostly the positioning, while the background shows the city at an upward angle, kaneki is face on....so it seems as if he is very high up in the air...(he could be standing on a building but since there is no information to indicate this, he seems to be flying)(more obvious with the tsukiyama)so i recommend considering the background and the positioning of characters in a scene when you sketch out your piece, instead of slapping a background on after you've finished the character.i think the intentions of this piece are great! and I love the detail in the eye, and the mask looks really good for your first attempt!! and your proportions all seem fairly accurate!!! so keep up the good work!!the background is also very good!! especially the clouds!! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title="(Big Grin)"/>plus that tsukiyama is great hahaI hope this helps! and i hope i didnt come across as too harsh
