In this artwork you have given the proper midtones and a lil bit of highlights but shadows are missings.. I think you should practice on it.

Her right leg seems a lil bit longer (the thigh part).
Regarding the light and shadow the direction of it is almost appropriate but i think a lil more contrast wud make it dynamic.

one final thing .. it can be seen that you have used smudge tool in it.. with practice it is best to reduce its usage and instead blend the colors using brush tool itself .. in that way u can make ur own texture effect by repetitive strokes.

I hope this might be helpful ..

1) Your anatomy do need some work. Try to sit in that position as well as you character is sitting. You are going to realize it's quite hard to have the legs right to the left. The body turned out against the ocean. her/his left hand at the right and the head back to the left. You will have to be very flexible to be able to sit like that. And I'm quite sure it's not to comfortable as well. So you do need to work on that.

The clothes is fine, of course you could improve them as well, but I think they are fine as they are. His/her head should be more round at his/her forehead especially under the left fringe... His eyes does not match completely either which kind of makes him/her look a little high or something

2)The shading over all is fine. But you should have some more highlights on the left of the character and stone and some more shadows on his/her back and also on the stone's back. For example you don't need to much shadow under the hair on the back, but over all you need more shadows on the back. You see my point?

3) When it comes to the water, I can not say what to do more than maybe study water some more and try to find some tutorials and see how other people made water. But for the stone, it is more or less the same. But stones like that are usually not so soft as you made it. The shadows you do have is fine. But put more of them and smaller ones. Some cracks as well would work

But overall. The concept is nice and I like you idea. I hope this was not to harsh. I can't even colour in the computer so..

"We all live on the same planet but we all do not live in the same world"

First of all, you make a really gorgeous sky! That was the first thing I noticed.

I'm not good with water texture myself, but for the rock I suggest sharper contrasts in the shading and very subtle highlights. Also give it flecks of dirt and other mineral to suggest a grittier surface, and some pitting to suggest roughness.

The clothes look good - there is a real sense that there is a person under there. I like the designs under the collar!

The face has a pleasing shape, but the eyes seem a little squashed to me. The left eye (our right) should be further toward the ear; essentially you want a distance of roughly one eye space between them. The hair, while nicely shaded with the individual stands picked out, looks a little stiff, like wood; try curling the ends up a bit, and letting individual locks slide over each other and flow in slightly different directions.

Overall, the pose looks good and the piece has a nice mood to it! Just watch the little anatomy details other commenters have stated (I don't want to keep telling you the same things over and over!) - you're off to a good start!

Fight, Megaman! For everlasting peace!

Anatomy wise, we shouldn't be able to see the leg that's resting on the rock(his right leg) His torso is frontwards his leg should follow that. It is not perfect, but this pose might help you see what I mean: (you can rotate the image until the angle is very similar to yours) [link]

Regarding the shading. The sun is very bright at sunset, he should have sharp highlight on the left side and darker shadows on the middle of his back. The same follows for the rock.

The water could use some sharper highlights as well. Here is a tutorial for water that I found very useful: [link]

I hope you find this suggestions useful.

I like the shading in this. For anatomy, I noticed his face was very flat, and he has no brow line or cheekbone. I can give you some tutorials because other people are sometimes better at explaining than I am.

I thank ~Gordorca for the awesome avatar!

Try to make sure the limbs are of the proper length and that you can sit in the pose comfortably. Right now it looks like her hips are facing forward, yet her legs are off to the side.

Practice poses and also general anatomy, if you can. ^^

Also, the fabric needs a little work. The pants look okay for the most part, but the cloth near her armpit is too jagged. I'm not good with fabrics either, but what I can suggest is draw clothing from life. To start with, just drop your shirt in a pile and see if you can draw it. ^^ And later on, try draping it on something like a hanger and draw that. See where the cloth follows the form and where it doesn't.

Hope that helps!! Good luck.

I do enjoy the water emitting light reflections from the sun's rays It's very accurate with the positioning of the sun on the ocean. I think the shadows could be a tad darker on the character since the sun is directly hitting them, and the proportions with the head confuse me since they seem a tad generic with accuracy. Try and practice with drawing the hair strands; each individual strand has it's own amount of light hitting it, and it should show.

The water is really great, you did the light reflections really great!
But, the position of your character is strange. Well, the legs seems to be in profile and the torso seems to be in profile. So it's seems strange...
Also, the hand should be imporve, but I know it's really hard to do them correctly. Even if I started drawing 4 years ago, I have still some difficulties. What I propose you for these, is to take picture of your hand in several position and draw them after. I will be a good practice and it will really help you. Your hand will be better and you will be able to do more complex position.

The face's proportion are great, but the mouth is a little bit too low.

The clothes are great!But maybe you should put more highlight on them. Because the light come where the sun is, there should have more shadow on his jersey.

Well, I think it's all I have to say for helping you! I repeat myself, you really did a great job with the sea!

he sky and the water is PERFECT dear. it really nice
about his anatomy, its quite good
But his hand is too small IMO. And the right feet, if he sit like that it should be unseen. the direction is go to the north (map vision). Hope it help
