so firstly, this is a very pretty design that mixes harder brush strokes with more blended ones, evoking great unifying effect overall. and this is amplified by your stylish use of speckled lineart to round out the character’s silhouette. the major changes that i’ve suggested in the paint-over deal with the anatomy of the character’s head and some of the shading colors. i moved the eyes downward so that the tops of the eyebrows would be closer to where the tops of the ears are implied to be. also, i tried to brighten the shadows a bit to help further enliven the character’s skin while still conveying the 3-dimensional form that you’ve communicated very well through the blended shading. great job with your illustration! i hope this helps as you keep working on this piece. ❤ | Artwod Feedback
