Unfortunately I'm not the best with backgrounds but I know a few things about lighting! Either way feel free to take any of this with a grain of salt. All the kinda notes are on the image but you have a wonderful texture to your art. Anyway I hope this helps even a little.

I hate the background. I was going for 1920s bar but couldn’t find a good reference, any help would be appreciated. And I’m not a fan of the lighting

Mixed head studies

Even though I use both reilly rhythms and basic anatomy of the skull I feel like the jaw placement could be improved. I also have a different time placing the eyes right in the eye sockets. I would appreciate any type of help you could give me.

Dai dark fanart

Other than the obvious lighting issue and that it's unrendered I have no clue what I'm doing with the perspective here and it's janking me up. My fault for not using a reference but now I'm in this predicament 😭 Also again no background but we just ignore that for now lol (unless someone has any tips or ideas because I'm a bum)
