Critique? Tips?

It looks like you're using gray/black to shade in a few places, so id make it a bit more vibrant, if you're going for a colder look tho, id use blue

tyy!! I used blackmto shade parts of the hair, should i just replace those with more vibrant colors?

or just like all of it?

since the hair is black, imo you dont have too if you're going for a deeper shadow, but usually blues work better for more vibrancy/color, you can also use warmer colors like red ect, but for things like skin, clothes (depending on how satuated the clothes are imo) you would use lighter colors

for this particular piece, i would change the skin's shadows and horns to be a more saturated shade

what helps is setting a layer to multiply and using a washed out dark color such as red (this is how I do it tho, you can change it as you want too)

very quick comparison to how more satuated colors would do to a piece

again, if you want it to be cooler in colors, id recomend purple/magenta for a skin shadow rather then almost gray

hope this helps!
