There is some major things i need to work on to make my work look professional but i just cant see it. The skin is dry with no realistic dimension. I think values is a big one, but idk. I would really appreciate a paint over with good tips.

Make sure you edit your post with the image so we can all see it.

Marc video on skin should help.
Besides the skin, the anatomy is something I noticed being wrong first. The forms don't look like they're turning.
I did a "quick" paint over. I tried to keep the skin similar to yours but add some blood to the guy. If you want to keep the dead look, then make your shadows on the skin purple while the main skin tone is an off white like you have.

I see what you mean about the anatomy. I can tell the difference at first glance. The pecs on mine are alot larger than the shoulder muscles, etc. Also the skin definition on yours pops out a lot more than mine. I have done a lot of research and i feel like ive covered these things but I can't get them to stick lol. Bad habits just keep reappearing. Guess its time to start from the beginning again. :\ Gonna start with anatomy then skin. Thank you for your help and well done on the drawing I really appreciate it!
