1/ id push the local value of the hair so theres better contrast beween the coral inthe hair and the hair itself 2/ push the shading in the face, the face is like an egg, the values fall off subtely as you go more to the bottom or edges 3/ the arms arms are a bit small as is the whole torso. get some references, scapulas and rotator cuff muscles should be more visible as the arms go backward 4/ reflected light belongs to the shadow values and should be lighter than the darkest light 5/ placements of the fins feels a little stiff, maybe simplify a bit and add some organic movement and it will feel like shes underwater more, you did it right on that big fish under her. awesome work!
Cheers for the feeback! And thanks for showing us your workflow! So in your approach if you would darken some parts would you keep hatching over it. Don't you ever go just lassotool and softbrush to darken areas? I was doubting myself if I had the patience to sketch like this, but I just really dig the end result...
i use multiply or darken or any other layers mode, as well as copying my hatch lines and setting them to multiply or adjusting levels, but i only use the brush at the standard size, so i would make hatch lines covering everything. i dont use other brushes as it kinda destroys the pencil look. But you can find your own process too :)
