some tips :
- no stars, city lights oppress them
- colorful lights, city lights are never white
- if you don't have secondary light source, the shadows should be extremely dark ( I put some glowing circuit there to fill the empty parts with interesting details)
- bounce light from the face should paint reflection on the window ( my example is not accurate, I just copied the face, you should draw a mirrored version lit up by light)

I hope this helps, dont be afraid of using dark values, and get references for everythig :smile:

good idea to blur the background, so the char gets more focus.... you should define more hard edges for the highlights, to keep the shape clear (light > hard edges, shadow > soft edges) ... keep on with it

thanks i will keep that in mind for the next steps.
refined the lineart, because i dont like it to paint without strict guidelines (maybe because i am not good in it :stuck_out_tongue: )
