Hey there! I love your colors! :) I feel like your main problems are shapes. The two videos I recommend watching are @Sinix 's and @Marco Bucci 's about shapes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZknWKTpc90 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6yJO9gKSAI Other than that I think you should try to go for cleaner transitions between values so it won't be that messy. I hope I could help! Keep up the good work! :)

First of all, I have to say, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that first one. The clean and consistent light and shadow shapes, the interesting and strange merging of the positive and negative space, and the limited palette is all AHH, so beautiful. Reminds me of some cool comic book art. You have a good foundation of anatomy and draftsmanship, as seen from all your works of people and that last artwork. The only thing I can really see a problem in is the second artwork, (the portrait). It feels like the atmosphere you were trying to portray got very close but didn't fully get there because of the colour choice and lighting. The lighting seems to be right in front of the characters face while also casting a long(ish) shadow on the character's neck. Judging from the background, I assume you were going for a sunset atmosphere. One thing to note about sunsets is that the sun is very close to the horizon and casts intense yellowy-orange light and very dark purply and sometimes shadows. So the skin colour in light should be more of a yellow-orange instead of a pale yellow-white colour. Don't forget about the subsurface scattering on the skin, it adds life and believability to the skin. (example) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/Skin_Subsurface_Scattering.jpg/800px-Skin_Subsurface_Scattering.jpg There are a lot of videos and resources about subsurface so check those out if you're interested. For the background, just look at some references of sunset skies and clouds. Remember that sunsets can look vastly different depending on the feeling you want or the time. Sunset cast shadows tend to become very soft as it goes farther away from the object that casted it. So play around with that too! (example) Overall amazing pieces, keep up the great work

For your Portraits I would mix in a few hard edges with all those soft edges. Use your shapes and edges to draw the eye (pun intended) of your audience

Wow! I can’t believe you did this on our phone, that’s amazing! I really like the way you worked with negative space in the first paining, it very effectful! Is that Scarlet Witch and Vision by the way? On the second picture I love how the colors makes it look so iridescence and dreamy. His shoulders look very sloping though, but in a way it fits him to. Like many things like that, it's a bit hard to critique because so much can be a stylistic choice. For example the shoulders on your characters seem small compared to their faces, but that can also be a normal thing (to have larger faces) if you are aiming for a more “cartoony style” I think all of your paintings are really good and I love your sense of color! Great job!
