Adding a bright highlight would be a start since glass is very reflective. Also rendering the hair to be more glossy too would pull off the glass like feeling too.

I’m not sure why, but something about this piece feels off. I wanted to make the hair look like it was almost glass-like? But I’m not really sure how to convey that.

I really like the composition but I have no clue what to do with the clothing, rendering feels weird and flat, I don’t know how to imply color with a palette like this one :/

Golds gone

I wanna know how to make this type of things but more like like they’re in the room and it’s like soft music playing and then she’s just laying on her bed reading a book with her headphones on while sitting on her desk technical

Starry Sky

My friend is saying the shadows are a little off with the mecha in the middle, and I am kind of confused with it. He also said it was blobs, or something like that. Also any other advice, would be helpful. (Poster inspired off of Okiwara, Ohrai, and Takani's style)
