Craig Mullins has a course on Schoolism that is amazing. I started taking it then realized that in order to really understand all that he is talking about I need to work harder on my fundamentals until they are effortless. I suggest taking his course, maybe you will have the same epiphany i have.

i've already took his course, this is made after his second last lesson

Hey doaflamingo, I didn't know who Craig Mullins was, so I looked him up. Man, I can see why you like him, his stuff is really cool! I think though you are attracted to his loose and energetic brush style, but are missing the fact that his drawing is really good and accurate. We want to make sure our drawing is really solid before we get caught up in technique or we can get in trouble. There is a truth about representational art: "painting is drawing". You cant be a good painter until you are a good draughtsman. So, I did a sketch of your main character and showed how you can help yourself by using wrinkles and drapery to sell your anatomy and perspective. It also lends a feeling of reality to our images when we add seams and folds in a convincing way. I hope this helps, and that you keep studying this artist :)

Oh man thank you so so much for the drawover ! Clothing is something ive not started seriously studying and want to, but i;ve yet to find some good tutorial for it. I tried NMA, but thier course is like they're trying to purposely make the course 50+hours.

I would feel better about this if her hand was turned the other way.

Hey, I love the colors and textures, aI would advice to study some anatomy, the hands and feet could be better. Also cant find a clear light source, maybe intended.
