Hey man! very nicely done. Love the clothing and that you also added some fellow to the light. In my opinion the background is fine - check out Alex Hanuka's drawings, you'll like those. Regarding improvements: I would spend a bit more time on the non-clothing: head, hands and feet. The focus is a bit too much on the pants and as human we're drawn to the face so if that doesn't work the rest of you image can be perfect but we'll be bothered. So if you create the same hard edges in the face as you do in te pants it'll be more balanced. Does that help?

First time I'm participating in an art challenge. When I say this was a sketch version I was instantly psyched to make something because I love sketching. This one is called The Band.
