hmm.. that car seems like its windshield is off to the side. i think you should try to shade the part to the left and right of the windshield to show that that is the back of the car
One extremely minor crit: the two cables connecting the sunlit section to the roof are working against the perspective a little because of how parallel they are. I'd suggest either having them end up closer together or heading in more noticeably different directions.
Btw, I'm trying to get a hold of all this digital painting jazz and I wonder - do you handpick colors and work with 100% opacity hard-edged brush or do paint in low contrast/opacity and gradually sneak in colors/values?
I know this doesn't really matter in the end, but I'm trying to choose relatively simple workflow until I get comfortable.
sandro, its a bit of both really, usually I have opacity bound to pen pressure, but I like painting with high contrasts because I like getting the main color & value range down as fast as possible.
tried some characters again, maybe soon I feel ready to do a full body one
thanks guys!
vofff: I use reference sometimes, like the car in the previous painting, I obviously looked at a few car pics, drawing a car with all the right details just from you head is hard

Oh, and that gif would be most appreciated
Peris: Water has me convinced very much. This piece would would be astounding with a wider frame and an offset composition. Take it further, I insist!

Another girl for practice:
Better eyes on the last one, left one's still a little off. Get those circles aligned!
Really like your stuff
Keep up
Been a while since I posted something, but I've been practicing
