I saw this picture on another forum, kewl stuff devilock. Like i said before I really like your shading.

One minor thing that bothers me the shadows look to black. It kinda looks like dirt stains. Other than that it looks pretty cool:thumbsup:

Use more darker 'colours' to shade, don't just use black. Black isn't a natural colour (things go very dark-but not black).

Make a palette layer and select 3 or more skin shades and work from here. Use the black very sparingly if you HAVE to.

Black pants and glove etc are fine, these are man made so they can be almost a pure black.

The pencil sketch was good, but the use of black for the shade is weakening the coloured version. Get a reference pic of a person and check out the skin tones, many times it will only be a dark bluish or brownish colour as the darkest value.

It's a good pic, make it a great pic.

You're right. Way too much black. I knew that and I still did it. Shows my impatience.

hey. One thing i noticed is that there is no like seperation of the woman's fingers and the guy's left shoulder. I would suggest adding subtle shading under/around that area to give form to the fingers, also i agree about the black for shading--its a no-no. another suggestion that might give ur pic more life is to add highlights in the hair of both of them. It might make it seem less flat.
Hope my suggestions help!
