Ok I sux, how do I better this...

I'm trying to make something with low constrast and desaturated colors, but I'm so unsatisfied with the result. It looks so amatuer-ish can someone give me guidance about how to continue?

and one more thing

*hits you on the head with a rose*

DONT EVER EVER EVER SAY THAT YOU SUCK....

Well thank you :)

I plan to do a lot of practice on my own, but I have no clue how to continue, that's why I am here. I'm so unsatisfied with the angel figure. Can anyone give me some more pointers?

The dark lines arent much use in a high key situation.

You might try varying your line weight. Maybe the clouds don't even need an outine if they're painted.The halo looks like it's sitting on the cloud more than over the angels head.

Also using french curves on the plane lines for a more technical feel and freehand the cloud and angel lines for a more organic feel.

Just some thoughts.
