Hello people
I just found this forum through recommendations, I already knew the channel on youtube, but I did not know that forum.
Well, I still feel lost with regard to paintings, I'm testing several and several ways to paint and this was the one that worked the most, but I still feel something missing, I used a grayscale painting can be said.

Shape, form, color, value, perspective and anatomy are big fundamentals that make up a painting/drawing. Composition and value are the biggest areas for improvement from this piece alone. I'd recommend looking into what the fundamentals are and how to go about learning them! Also, try to study artists you admire and see what makes them good to you.

definitely alot of fundamental problems with the piece the biggest maybe being lighting. you have this bright effect of the sword which should be casting light onto the character. also you should maybe use the colour balance tool to change the overall colour to a more blue and purple tone. Did a super quick rough paint over to show some things that might help

thank you soo much XD
I really forgot to brighten the effects and adapt the atmosphere better.

Also, maybe try a landscape canvas instead of a portrait, since it could add greater depth to the piece! The monsters in the foreground seem a little cramped and the weapon effect seems to be not as intimating. But yeah, crowbit's rough paint-over definitely helps! Please do update ^^

The suggested changes in lighting and landscape will look great. I'm not sure if she's supposed to be werewolf? Her legs and arms seem disproportionate. I like her face, btw, nice style.
