Hi! I like your use of color and brush strokes

So, were you going for realistic? If so:
- His upper body is way too long stretched.
- What are those things on his belly side, they look like extra arms?
- The arm anatomy is incorrect, especially around the elbow area.
- The lighting is incorrect and seems to come from different directions (the white area on the neck?)

I'd say: study anatomy and values before rendering that much Good luck!

Hi! Sure! Do you have a photo or image that you referenced from? It's difficult for us to critique without seeing what you tried to study. Also, what was the aim of the study? Practising colour, lighting, form, etc? That will help us narrow our critique.

Here's the pic! Since I was starting digital painting, I'd thought I'd try to get a hang of trying to get correct colors and lighting with photoshop. I'm still a struggler but I know I'll get there! Thanks for critiquing!
