Overall critique

[slender flare]

Just seeing how I can improve

[slender flare]

Oh yeah, something I was also curious about was how to add more depth like in the black parts of the character.

I tried to, but I couldn't get the color to work out much

[rustic bobcat]

Generally you can create more depth if you use more contrast in the shadows

So in this case i would darken the shadows you have put

But something that is special here is that the texture is oily or like the venom glue thing. Idk, you know what i mean

That means you need to put even more contrast through highlights and reflections of the surrounding

[slender flare]

Are you referring to the oil or the skin?

[rustic bobcat]

All in all, just try making the dark parts darker and the light parts lighter (almost completely white or black)

[rustic bobcat]

Wasn't i supposed to?

Sorry, then i got something wrong

[slender flare]

Nono I was asking if you were saying I should make the skin shading darker or the black segments darker

[rustic bobcat]

No, i mean the black stuff

[slender flare]

So something like this?

[rustic bobcat]

Looks better

[slender flare]

Yippee

[rustic bobcat]

Just in case you want to push it a bit more you can make the highlights and reflections even lighter

Yaaaay

[slender flare]

Are you talking about the ones in light or shadows

[rustic bobcat]

Both, but of course the ones in the light should be lighter than the ones in shadow

[slender flare]

Oh ok

[rustic bobcat]

Or actually... let me check something real quick

Nvm

[slender flare]

Are these good

[odd heart]

lol whoever designed her did her forehead wrong

i think there could be some darker hair values?

[patent wind]

Ur pinkies are pretty long, but that’s meaningless tbh

[slender flare]

These dark enough?

[odd heart]

maybe whats it without the grayscale

[odd heart]

do you like it

[slender flare]

Hair has always been the thing I've been worst at coloring

It's good for what I can do id say

[odd heart]

lolol i like it better, i feel like it could be darker

since its behind the character

[odd heart]

no hair is so hard to color for no reason

im currently trying to shade and its *tears flow

[slender flare]

Yeah lol it's serviceable for now

I might redo it if it bothers me enough

Nevermind

It's bothering me

It's bothering me a lot

[odd heart]

Lol

your style is very pretty though

[slender flare]

Oh thank you
