My og reply got deleted but a few tips Try blocking out your shadow and where the light iw coming from, block the haor and render small parts implying complexity with strokes!- Our minds are easily folled by implied complexity in art its great. I made the light brighetr to add contrast using greyscale to see what to focus on. Great rendering overall just need use of complex colours :3

Don quijote polish

Hello! I have been trying to make a polished version of the character as a finished concept, but i don’t feel like it’s quite there yet. I tried giving the drawing some material separation and shadows. My main problema is the lighting. In a drawing meant for a concept art polished picture, i don’t know if this light is enough or if i have to add a stronger light source. I also wanted to ask for help with the construction. I often find myself making mistakes with the proportions or the prespective but i have been looking at this for so long that maybe i just can’t see them. As allways, if there is somethinig i missed that could be fixed, ley me know. Thanks!

Matilda Character Design

Something feels off; I'm quite spotty with the hands. But I'm also a bit iffy with the feet. The shadow creature behind her has a rather stiff pose in comparison to the front character as well. Your feedback will be appreciated! :)

Character rendering and lighting

Hi, I am struggling to figure out how to shade my character and his clothes especially with the color black that I used for the jacket. I haven't really decided on a light source, but ideally it's coming from the left side of him. Considering the materials as well I wanted it to be a cloth like material for the jacket and regular jeans. I would appreciate any help and input on this thanks.
