Hi Kamil, I really like it - especially the clouds, they seem to have a lot of thick overwhelming volume. For me as a viewer I think of your focal point as the floating island with the tree on it, subject matter wise it stands out amongst the clouds and rocks, the hue contrasts there, there's value contrast there, all great things! As a suggestion to make that area stand out even more if you want it to, is to simplify other areas. I find myself a bit distracted by the foreground rock islands, particularly the one on the bottom right. There's a lot of texture detail there that I think distracts from the focal point, when it seems like it would be more in shadow. Another thing that might help would be to suggest more depth through value, making the foreground elements more dark - if that's what you want to do. Again, these are all suggestions - can't wait to see more from you.

Hi Miho, love the study, great brushwork and I also really like the focus on eye on our right, with the other eye being softer, very classic. In terms of your question "how to make the colors less boring" I think you're already on the right track. I see the colour notes of purples, blues, and red in your shadows you could maybe emphasize this more? Or give colournotes to the light areas - perhaps following some general guidelines for colour zones of the face (top of face generally more yellow, middle generally more red - especially ears, bottom of face generally cooler colour temperature). You could also add some colour variety in the background. These are all just suggestions, I think it's perfectly well for a portrait study. One other critique, although I really love the loose brushwork, especially as it goes away from the focal point it could be mistaken for hair near the clavicles - just something I noticed! The brushwork is very uniformly small shapes down there could be why I read it that way.

Hello! I just wanted to ask as a beginner artist if I should start with the anatomy course or with the figure drawing course

I've been mostly using the Proko site for the anatomy lessons, just reading through the old article posts to inform myself about the bone structure of a skeleton and modelling it in VR haha. I'm super excited about the new site though, the community aspect is nice in a forum, there's a lot of discord art communities but I am usually more of a lurker in those.
