I did this drawing after going with my friends at a party. I was drunk at the time, but I think that was an advantage.

Great job on your first oil painting! Did you like the medium more than the others you've worked in?
First, I like the contrast between the lights and darks. I can really feel that the person is in full sunlight. I can tell you were having trouble controlling the medium because most of your shapes are not clearly defined but the overall painting reads well. I can tell that this is a man grilling fish in the sun outside.
Most of the problem areas originate in the foliage at the top of the painting. Simplifying foliage is very difficult but I would suggest trying to break it down into basic shapes first so the overall shape reads well then add details from there.
Oil paint doesn't lend itself easily to details. You can get super small brushes and do some crazy small details on faces but It's almost always better to have a bigger surface so you can enlarge a portrait for easier handling. I looked at your other work and I know you have the skills to make a great looking portrait it's just being new with the medium that is keeping you from it.
Overall, your first attempt is fantastic. I can tell that you have training in the fundamentals and that will come through regardless of the medium.
Keep sharing the rest of your oil paintings and let me know what you love and hate about it. Thanks for sharing!

Looks really neat! The pic appears to be a little blurry tho, I think might be some grease on the camera lens? Or maybe you also painted a little bloomy effect? Because around the arm it kinda have that sort of separation, I believe it's the green color of the underpaint? I like this. You also got nice detail distribution. Do you have a reference photo or maybe describe what kind of direction you are headed?
This is my first oil painting, and I would like some feedback.
I just started this, but i feel like the composition could be improved
I did this portrait, I would like some feedback
Here is my submission, I bassed everything about my dear bandana. I hope you guys like it

Hello @Miguel Nieto (nice to see you again)This is really good!I really like the pale skin tone you use.I particulary quite like the subtle blue and red color notes on the face(it actuall kinda remind me of Bani-chan work).Also quite like you made the shirt very simple to not take attention from the face.
I think the biggest critism I have is that you made the hair on the left slightly too big,so it feels like the hair isn't connected to the head.Also this maybe a bit subjective,but I think you made the right collar too close to the left,so it feels like the head is a bit disconnected to the body.(here's an overpainting that might help)
But other than that,very excellent work,please keep going,you are doing a good job.
I did this rdawing trying to limit myself with a very ligth set of values
