Help me improve

[raw cradle]

Hey! I was wondering if there is anything about this piece that I could do better? Would like to hear someone else’s perspective. ☺️

I really love your lighting! I think you should just work on the jawline and the lips, as well as the proportions of the face

I think you have a good understanding how to draw faces and the genearl body. So what I would recommend you is to work on your shading skills to give your paintings more form.
Right now you are too Suttle with how you shade your paintings. Try to give your paintings a stronger contrast form shadow to light area making the figure more three-dimensional. It helps if you decide in the beginning of your painting process from where the light should be coming. Lastly you need to know when to have hard shadow borders or smooth ones. For example cast shadows are under most circumstances have hard edges. depending on how smooth or sharp the transition from light and shadow, will give you different results. Still you already have a good intuitive understanding of what I told you so you only have to experiment more. Hope I was helpful

Yes thanks so much. I clearly see now that I should’ve done darker shadows! I will try again and also compare to some reference for the face.
