Need some critique on this; I usually stick with line art and character design shit so painting straight from life like this is new territory for me
your rendering (blending of colors) is bad. its bad specifically because you threw a bunch of low-opacity strokes on top of each other. chicken-scratch lines. just because youre painting doesnt mean you should stop making deliberate brush strokes, clean that up.
watch a video on rendering or something. ctrl paint has some but i think they make you pay for them
your color choices are nothing to write home about either, theyre pretty muddy but that might just have to do with all the black you didnt blend together well. i dont have your reference image, but put this next to it and really compare the two. did you really get those colors right or did you end up assuming what they were?
also you saved this as like a 30 quality jpg what the hell
