Hey! Love this design and the style! I did a quick overdrawing and value corrections. For the values, I just increased the brightness at the top while I kept the bottom darker. For the design. I think you have to unify the shape language a bit more, since the rose at the head feels separated fo the design in general. So I was thinking that you can design the armour by following the rose shape language, I mean, draw the armour plates as if they were some petals, or maybe by following the "wrapping" of the petals, as I did in the forearm. I believe that this way the design would feel more unified. Hope this helps! Awesome work

June 30 Challenge - Day 1
Practicing Trek characters and attempting illustrating a scene from a book.

Daily sketch page, day 2
Trying to incorporate stuff I learned from portrait road. Drew my OC this time. Struggling with keeping face looking the same in all angles (and fail :x)

David
One thing I constantly struggle with is rendering it always feels as if I’m missing a step or theirs a gap between my knowledge. Feel free to critique my lighting, shading, and etc.

Day 2 Jacqueline's Sketchbook
A Knysna Turaco bird in Art Nouveau style

Mermaid
Made improvment of the hands.

WIP Jay Enhypen
I am struggling with capturing his face from my refrence, I made a mistake with choosing my reference a bit, I chose the refrence pose where the face wasn't fully visible and used other refrence for his face so I had to adjust the face angle and how he is looking at the viewer which led to facial structure changes, I can't add my reference in this site because it doesn't support more images. I want you to help me with how do I make look more like Jay.

Page 2 (day 2) Trying to be consistent with the challenge. In this drawing, can someone teach me how to make simple backgrounds? ( Other adivces is good too!)

2 sketchbook page
Some arm studys. I wanted to practice the anatomy for the ice arm of the eleven archer character

About linework in general
I finished it by adding this little walrus imp thing. I believe this is currently the absolute limit of my abilities. If there is anything to improve in this i am currently blind to it. I see this as a problem, since if i do not recognize my mistakes i cannot improve further, therefore if anyone can poke holes in this it would be deeply appreciated. Or maybe i should just start learning values already, since linework is kinda the only thing i've ever done.
