Hi! The rendering looks awesome! I’m by no means an expert, but I try to give some meaningful advice. 3 things I would do differently: I would try not to have a white background, any color supporting your contours should do. Also your body measurements seam off. I changed the contour a bit (in yellow). I couldn’t figure out how the katana is attached to the character. The arm is too short if I take the visible one as a reference. If its attached to the belt, it’s a quite long rope. Either way, showing how the connection is done helps. Hmm, maybe the shading could use a bit more contrast, but that’s something I leave for others with more experience help you with that. Keep at it, you are on the right track :)

If you struggle with pusing your values, this is assuming you have your shapes blocked in, silhouette defined. Begin with your darkest values first. Including the gaps where the light does not reach (ambient occlusion) Try to stay as true to that value as possible - meaning you dont want to ever change this dark value down the line. Once you have your darkest values in, shadow shapes defined. Your decision for the Light Values are much easier. The statement above will go hand in hand with this general feedback ----> Your values are Good it just lacks contrast, Withoutout shifting values down, ADD the occlusion values firs

hallo iam artiest and struggle with value so u can take it or not but i loved ur art so much i think its ready to render ... i just wonna to say its will be better if add some strong light on light side to straight it Also if add bg its would be nice to keep the sellout shape thaank u

The rendering looks awesome! I might just push the value difference between the plane which is facing the light. Great work!

Your proportions for the head are actually pretty perfect! Your values are also really strong too. I think an area that could be improved would be the body's proportions. I red lined your drawing to show how underneath the clothes, her body doesn't really make a lot of sense. I think you should work on learning the body's proportions. It looks like you have a pretty good idea of form, like how her skirt wraps around her waist and how her collar wraps around her neck. You also indicated the direction of the arm with the sleeve and line at the wrist which is all very good! Even if you don't quite understand anatomy, as long as you get the proportions of a figure right, people won't really notice. It is much harder to see anatomy mistakes than it is to see proportion mistakes. I'm not advocating to NEVER learn anatomy, but anatomy can be taxing and overwhelming for most people to learn and it becomes much easier to learn once you understand proportions. So try to draw figures in primitive forms like boxes and cylinders or continue drawing cute anime characters which is something I also did when I was learning. As long as you focus on proportions your art will instantly improve! Hope this helps.
