   Greetings fellow squaretists

Doing pixel art for a couple of months and and seeking for some feedback. Here is my current project.

I would like to know what parts are good, what parts are bad and causes your eyes bleed. Share you good habits/techniques to get clean results when drawing a face.

Department i still struggle in: Cloak and mask wrinkles, muscle elevations, properly angle some gear pieces, ray tracing(for example gem light spreading on nearest surfaces-this multiplies colors in palette if i use blending)

Here is tiny bonus. Progress of face features.

	Hi, welcome! The update makes it much more clear where this is going. What's up with the two dark vertical lines on her face? I don't understand how the shadow work. The from the shadows of her hair, seem a bit close together. Also you need a very strong one directional light source, and not much atmospheric light, to get such a strong shadow from thin strands of hair! For the next update, consider posting it unscaled without background, instead of a screenshot. The forum has a built in zoom function, click to zoom and shift+click to zoom out!

	Thanks for the feedback. "What's up with the two dark vertical lines on her face? I don't understand how the shadow work." I am experimenting and those lines are just drafts. Planned source of light is above her or above her and slightly closer to us-viewers.Changed a bit and added simple highlight on her chin. "The from the shadows of her hair, seem a bit close together." Fixed. "Also you need a very strong one directional light source, and not much atmospheric light, to get such a strong shadow from thin strands of hair!" Reasonable, fixed Update with feedback taken into account
