Hiya ! this looks really really good but to help you with your issue, there's a really nice tool made by Proko called "Proko - Value Study Tool", you can upload your image and choose the number of values and the simplicity of the value grouping, the image I'm uploading comes from it (4 values - 3 simplicity), I hope it will help you !

I'm having a hard time grouping my value zones in a clear and concise way, I can't seem to include reflected light and hue changes (particularly in the cobblestone path here, and some foliage details) without complicating and overworking the values.

Frieren sketch

Hi guys! This is my first time posting. This is a sketch of Frieren that's still a work in progress. I feel like a few things are off but I can't really tell. It could be the flow of the hair or something in the face? I feel like there isn't a real focal point and my eyes get lost while looking for long. Any general tips are greatly appreciated!!! Thanks

DnD character 2020

I realized I mirrored everything from my original sketch so… idk, but any advice with the concept of a cultist serving a demon and a celestial(? i believe they are called in DnD). No idea if I botched perspective and/or form on this one either.

DnD character 2020

Really late for the July challenge but I thought I’d give it a try after practicing realism for a bit/long while (at the urging of a friend who studied animation). It has been an on and off practice with long breaks in-between because of COVID and then switching jobs up until this year I decided that I was going to draw again.

Unexpected visitor

I want the person on the left to exhibit fear. Mouth is giving me a hard time. other side of the face finally feels right but I expect it could be "shallower?". The rest of the perspective feels right I am just double checking my perspective and form before I proceed.
