first-off, you have an amazing start! the only thing I would say is figure out exactly where the lighting is. hopefully its clear in my edits, but I'm assuming the moon is either a backlight (which is what I went with for the rough paint over) or an overhead lighting, so I just went in with a white to kind just emphasize where the moonlight is and darkened areas that were too bright (the face, left hand, etc.) I would also say it kinda gets a little muddy around the face especially, so I would definitely go back and add some harsh shadows to contrast with the smooth rendering you have (and with that I'd also go back in with darker shadows on the face) Hopefully this makes sense, and the edits are clear (I couldn't really figure out how to make it look nice lol) Beautiful drawing!

CATWOMAN finding out Bruce is Batman?

My wife is an amazing artist specifically when it comes to portraits. However I like to challenge her to do more than people or faces. So I posed this scene and this was her result. I’m new to art but she dosent do much perspective stuff so I was hoping some people would be able to give her some pointers based on this. This was the first draft and she didn’t use any guidelines.

Telephone Nene Art

The anatomy, especially the anaomy of the arms and hands are so off and I’m pretty sure the skirt is also not in the same perspective. I also don’t know how to fix the side of the face near the telephone because it isn’t quite anatomically correct and looks very flat. Drawing is on the right and references on the left

Why can’t I save her?

The proportions on the face look wrong, kyubey I’m the background doesn’t look quite right, and it just looks off. Any advice on how to better color or study proportions? How do I work with color theory?

Painting practice

I’m trying to improve my edge control and understand the planes of the face better. Likeness was not my priority here but I would appreciate any other feedback.
