I could use some your expertise on this work of mine. Any help will be greatly accepted. :bashful:

feels a little washed out in places (torso, stomach, various other areas). i think because youve applied a more saturated colour in places, whereas in others you havent. following this, it would seem youve just placed shadows in their respective areas. give it a more uniform feel and paint in the colour, put the lighting and shading in after, not before. dunno if its just personal style but your head resembles something like a grape.. doesnt have a natural feel to it. oh, and (again dunno if this is intentional) but youve got your left thigh joining to your lower abdomen, whereas your right thigh is connecting a little higher up. all the best this is looking pretty good other than that :}

...This is just freaky!! hehe j/k

I like it. It's very interesting. I do have to agree with what the guy above me said, lighting last, but I like your grape head.

Look forward to seeing more stuff from you!
