Hi brett nice gesture! Keep practicing!
If you like to learn more about gesture drawing. I encourage you to check 'force drawing by Michael mattesi'(if you don't know about it yet) he has great books also you can check his YouTube he is doing livestreams on there recently. :)
I've taken two character design courses through Brainstorm School, which I think is currently run exclusively online, one course with Abe Taraky and one course with Gue Yaj. I think when I took my class with Gue, it was his second time teaching, and now he's had another year and a half of experience teaching. I learned a lot from Gue, and he's incredibly nice and patient so I highly recommend his class at Brainstorm!

Hi @Ritik, love the stylization. If I had to give some feedback regarding color, I would say that we can make some adjustments to the colors you've chosen for some areas of the face. Skin is semi translucent, which means that for certain areas, we can see the blood affecting the color of the surface of the skin. These include the area around the eyes, the cheeks, nose, and ears. I like that you've applied that knowledge to flush the cheeks and the nose, so we can bring in that knowledge to brighten up the eyes and ears as well.
I've attached a painting by John Singer Sargent. For the eyelids, he's chosen to use a bit more of a saturated red, and it brings a bit more liveliness to the skin tones in those areas. Same thing goes for the ears. You could slightly exaggerate colors in these areas of your painting to add more variety to the skin tone.
Additionally, you could play up the saturation of the colors for your shadows on the face (I'm mostly looking at the shadows cast by the nose, as well as the shadows on the left side of the face). The color seems a bit dull, but you can punch the shadows up a bit by making the color a bit more red instead of dark brown.
Hope this helps!
Thank you very much this is really helpful! I'm loving this platform, it's a great to get critique on work it really help! Thanks once again! :D

Hello @Ritik Gajbhiye ! I love the design, the overall shape of the character gives me a straight vibe about the character, very well done.
If I had to say something about it is that you need to be carefull with your lighting. Stay consistent with where your light source is and try to always keep it in mind when you are placing your shadows. If I look at the cast shadow under the head I figure that the light is placed on the top right part of the image, but I couldn't say the same for the rest of the character's shadows.
I'd also advise you to do a few studies of clothing folds and wrinkles. I think you got the shirt's armpit folds right but I find the ones on the bottom part of the belly a bit random. If you want to make a sense out of the randomness of folds in fabric I'd suggest that you watch this video by ModernDayJames where he explains the different types of folds that can happen in clothing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz7SdRoMhT4
I hope you find this helpful!!
Honestly I think the painting is good, it's simple and stylized, yet pleasing to look at. I can imagine seeing it in an art of book of a feature animation movie. What looks a bit of to me is his upper anatomy and face. I think that angle of his traps is too extreme, I can't imagine it work in 360 degree turnaround. Also try to work on his face expression. It's hard to relate to the character right now. I think slight adjustments of his eyes Andrzej mouth would fix that. Other than than it looks pretty cool! I hope that helps :)
Hey Ritik! Feel free to post any design/painting work here then- I'd be happy to help!
Oh shit! I think i forgot to add photo on the top post. Here's if you like do critique :)

hello Ritik! i think the colors are working well. but if it was me doing this i probably would make the shadows a bit more consistent and present in some areas. (make the shadow appears more in areas like the nose, and in the left ear). is it. good job.

i think you loose a lot of shapes with the way you placed the red on the nose and the cheeks.
in the suggestion you see how i reduced that a bit and brought in the other local colors you established to get more shape on the form of the nose. on top of that i used your orange on the forehead and introduced it to other parts of your coloring so that it doesnt stand out just on that aread.
i added some light in the shadow for the same purpose to bring the shapes more out. in the suggestion+ i added some orange from the background circle on the figure. its something you can do to merge both elements a bit more together but thats totally subjective and up to you.
i hope thats helpfull for you.
Yes you're so right! Colour do look more unified in later ones! Thank you very much this was really helpful! :)

Hi Ritik! I think the colours work quite well together, but feel like it would benefit from some texture or smaller details :)
I do think so, I'm not much detail loving guy but do think it need little more polish! Thanks for the advise :)
