Hey there! First of all, I absolutely love the city in the background and her non generic face. Well done! Two things I'd like to suggest: 1. Black on White or White on Black: I think the main issue with the scene is about how it's values are laid out in the first place. We have a dark character on a dark background, which leaves almost no room for contrast in value and results in readability issues without a strong lightsource. I tried demonstrating this by lighting up the whole character. Ofc you could also achieve the same thing by setting the scene at daytime, but I assume that kind of misses the mood here. 2. The Pose: I am unsure about what the motion of the pose is intended to tell me. I can't seem to clearly tell if either she just jumped onto the balcony or if she's about to climb down backwards. She could also just be turning around from enjoying the view. I think this is mainly caused because the only information about how her lower body is positioned, is her thigh kind of 'resting' on the balcony already. Maybe some other angle or a clearer pose would resolve this tho. I hope this helps and keep up the great work!
