Hey there! This looks amazing already, really nice work! I think a point to look at would be how contrast is created throughout the piece, especially through value and edges. There's already a great blending and use of softer edges as things get further from the focal point of the face, but reinforcing the contrast at the face, especially the eyes, could help make the final pop. This could be through more defined edges and a use of darker value for the eyelashes/irises, for example. I would also caution watching out for unintended areas of high contrast, for example the shadow area near the elbows or the decorative hem by her legs, as the high value contrast and sharp edges could lead the eye there more than needed. This is a great piece nonetheless, so these smaller points could help push it just a bit further -- hope this helps and keep up the great work! :D

Hello! This is my first time posting here! I struggle to post online, but I’m trying to be better. And i need help so… this is my first portrait painting. I wish i used more time on the sketch, but i didn't think i would work on it as much as i did. I don’t have anything specific to ask help on, any tips is wanted.

Hi, im Htinlin Arkar from Myanmar(Burma).Im 21 now.Since i was kid i always love drawing. At my teenage i didn't draw and wasted my life with games. About 2 years ago i realize my life and i decided to train to become a artist.
In these 2 year i draw aleast 1 to 6 hours daily. I know i am progressing but it really slow and some didn't feel like improving at all.(studying head for about a year and i really can't invent head from imagination/ cant draw figure pose/ inconsistent proportion/line etc)
I'm worrying my progress would be slow just like these years and couldn't make my living with drawing. Since i m not wealthy introverted high school drop out with no social connection,plus my country situation, i can't do anything other things.now i can depending on my family but not forever.
So i tried to encourage myself to go out and ask for help. I really need suggestions or advices or help, anything, from you guys. I will try myself to follow to your ways. If possible can anyone mentor me through my art training.🙏🙏🙏
these are really good! After just two years! give yourself more credit, that's not easy. If you keep going as you have, i'm sure you will keep improving. It takes a long time to train you mind, look at how far you come and keep practising. i look forward to seeing where you will be in a few years. Dont give up and keep going!
