Hey! I like the illustration so far! I mainly adjusted the lighting and color. To start with, I recommend avoiding painting on a completely white background. On one hand, pure white can be harsh on the eyes, and on the other, it can make it harder to judge values accurately. Using a neutral gray background will give you much better control over your lighting and value relationships. For this paintover, I chose a 3/4 lighting setup. That means the side facing the light source (the right side) will be illuminated, while the opposite side will naturally fall into shadow. Always keep the direction of the light in mind so you can paint shadow shapes more efficiently and avoid lighting everything evenly, which tends to make forms appear flat. If you struggle to determine which areas should be lit and which should be in shadow, think in terms of simple geometric forms. This makes lighting much easier to understand. For example, imagine the arms and legs as cylinders to help visualize the basic lighting. As for the colors, they felt a bit washed out and overly white. Try to avoid using pure white for highlights and pure black for shadows. Notice that the highlights sit within a range of light, desaturated oranges, while the shadows are more saturated colors without becoming completely black. Hope this helps! | Artwod Feedback
