Art Critic here and willing to help again with constructive criticism, redline, paintover, links, whatever. Show me your work and I'll tell you what's shit about it and what you need to improve on.

The values right now are too dull, but I understand the work is still a base. Use black for eyelashes, nostril, ear, portions of hair, et cetera, and white highlights for skin textures--nose and cheek as well as some on eye area. Maybe the light source on the reference is dull, but I encourage you to use the full spectrum of value--darkest darks and lightest lights to make an interesting image. Bring more value variety.

Line your image. Her eyes blend into her skin and are about the same color as the skin.

I do not understand what is going on. The values are bland. You need more color variation. Don't use whites for light areas, use a lighter color, i.e. red guitar/mushroom. Brown reaper with brown shadow equates to boring. The perspective of the reaper is ruining the composition. Make him further in the right corner, he is too near to the focal point of the bear and is competing for attention. Sky and clouds are too bland. Make the colors pop. More saturation. The light source is not well thought of either, there is no continuity. The shadow of the reaper and the shadows of the bear are completely different.

Exactly in what aspect you
suck at?
>>2549189
Details and clarity.
It's because I rush. I spend hours on that, when if I had just taken my time it would have ended up being done a lot faster.
I like rich blacks so I stick with micron pens
I enjoy the hip hip vibe and shapes
But I seem to have trouble deciding line thickness distribution and ultimately reach a point where I begin to ruin the work.
if you have any other pointers I'll gladly take them
>>2549125
Why is the left side of his nose puffy, while the right looks like someone poked it with a pin?
>>2547493
gotcha
>>2547506
Thanks for your help. Although in the end I used more white than before...
I do these kind of pieces to get some distraction from fundamental exercices, so I'm giving up at this stage.
But for some reason I really struggld with the comp of this one.

Microns are a scam and last for a few weeks at most before the tips break down. Fountain pens are master race.
