Very cool stuff. I like a lot what you're doing.
Thank you Soki! Yeah sure! You can also post a link of your portfolio or add it on your account info.
Ill try to write a short reply haha! Two things helped me grow. The first was to browse through art and tutorials constantly. The second was the monthly competitions that cubebrush(the previous site) held. Being competitive, and getting feedback were very helpful for me. Losing was even more helpful :D. Deviantart and Artstation are good places to start and if you create a sketchbook here posting your work, receiving feedback its always helpful. But the important thing is to draw what you like and aim for what you want and the style you want.
I have a list of my Youtube subscriptions maybe they help

I wanted to share the process I use for creating fast comissioned characters.
First I find pictures for the desired pose. I layer them appropriately and create a sketch. I drop the basic color. I throw photos and render till it looks smooth and painterly. Here is my reference photos both for pose and clothes and some progress shots.
When I do comissions I heavily rely on photos for the pose and the rendering. I dont do it for personal pieces where I enjoy drawing each pixel:p
thanks for sharing. I like this. Learned something new. 
That's pretty smart. For some reason it never occured to me to make a montage of different reference to get what I need. I usually try to find pictures that closely match what I have in mind and that's not always easy.
Thank you for the tip!

love your sketches
8 days later
thank you moe^^
first time after so long I sketched something without thinking. and tried something new. i feel better<3
a sketch that went a bit further. i think miss peregrine was the inspiration
also real size
This is a wip for a cover im working on.
Its the first time I create something scifi-ish and I'd love some feedback.
basic idea is she's holding a stungun that lits up her face. There's also gona be a spaceship up in the back. The space up is for the title
First off let me say this is look pretty cool so far. Really love her face and the lighting you have going on. With the stun gun so close, There will be more light on her face.
Guessing she's wearing a leather jacket?
If I could recommend something, it would be to give the piece a bit of a blur while having a more defined face that isn't blurred. Try to give it more of that cinematic look/appeal. Add more of the stun gun blue light to her face. Out side of cleaning up the jacket, I believe you can also add more of the blue light going directly on the jacket with a nice contrast to the black you have.
Did a quick PO to show what I mean. I believe your already going in the right direction. 
Maybe my blue is a bit overkill but you can adjust it to your liking if you choose to add a blur. Lastly it would be to find a texture for the planet in the back. Other than that solid stuff. Keep up the good work.
Looks awesome! For better display, upload those directly on the forums rather than pasting links!
After giving this a second look I think the blur might take away from it as well.
Thank you malcom!! Your paintover looks cool!! It has given me more perspective and a few ideas! Im gonna enhance the stun gun's light and the overall contrast. I am not familiar with blur I dont know how to use it properly. I might play with it though a bit on the hands on th elower part.
@marc Thank you Marc!! I will definitely upload them from now on.
@andrewnimble Thank you ^._^ im glad you like her look. I am affraid the image will not have any impact if the look is not strong enough.
I will post more wips!
Thank you everyone.
holli<3
Love the look of her and I like seeing the brush strokes as well. Nice sketch so far. Keep it up.
Thank you Malcom:D
I finished the sci-fi cover in a rush so I didnt have time to post wips. i thougth I should at least post the output. I had really specific instructions on the spacecraft but still I know it looks horrible T_T. Anyway the title covers most of it.
Regardless good job on this. You really bring the focus to the face in the final. Everything around it doesn't matter as much. The ship is decent but gets the job done. lovely colors and I like the way you did the hair. Hair is something I need to work on.
Anyway keep up the good work as usual. 
Jeah, a placement of the spaceship is a little bit strange, but overall the look and feel of the illustration is really intimate. I feel that there is a story behind that girl, and her eyes...
And super highlights! : )
