glacial pollen
First time fully shading a piece with pencil and I'd love to know if there's anything I could improve on in the future! I've realized I tend to rush when shading and don't slow down to really check the values even though I know I should, when the shading is complicated I get overwhelmed, if anyone has tips for this also please let me know! Ty <33

I actually might have cut the paper in a way that makes it slanted? It's something I noticed too, I'll try to pay more attention to making things more level next time, thank you!

Ohh I see how especially the shoulders look uneven, tysm for pointing that out! I'll try to work on making sure my guidelines are the correct angle beforehand ^^

About the eye, I'd suggest you shade in the eyes aswell so the iris and lashes are hardly visible, but only keep the light bouncing off the eye lid, I say this because the human features diminish the darker the shadow around them, which means if I have a lot of hard shadow my eyes would be less and less visible.
A good rule I've been using recently in this case is:
If the eye is in shadow, and I can make the iris out while squinting, then it's too detailed.
