Okay people this is the 2nd picture I've done w/ this tablet; I never even finished the 1st one because it looked horrible. Tell me what you think of this picture, I'm not too happy with the background, but I'm so burnt out on the picture that I don't feel like trying to make a new one.

I think it looks incredible, except for the face.. the burn-shading is kind of sloppy and the eyes are a little deformed. That image has so much potential, I wouldn't give up on it yet, just needs some detail work!

The image is great! Although the face could use some work, Sushi anyone?

very nice for just your second time with a tablet...it took me a while to get use to mine...there were a few things that i saw that could of used some work...your colors, some of the lighting doesnt make sense...as for yoru drawing, proportion looks a little off...the head might be just a little too big but maybe thats wut you attended to do...your hands could use a little work too...good piece tho...very nice

Maybe it's a bit too smooth. I think it lacks some texture.

Thought I'd chime in.
Three specific things:
1. You should treat painting the cloth (or drawing it) as something solid, which it is. Think of the folds as tubes and paint them as such.
2. The flesh of the face and hands is shadowed in dark brown. Instead, try darkening the basic color and adding the color's complement to get the shadow colors. Also, you may want to try some reflections on the sides of the face.
3. Instead of drawing it all out with paths, try putting down a really slopping sketch. Use a big ole brush and lay down a good sketch of the way the light treats the subject. Think of each object you paint as being surrounded by a ball. This will give you a good idea about how the object should be shaded.

Anyway, that's my two cents for ya. Hope it helps at all.

Keep up the good work!
