take a little of his shoulder blade because it makes his back have a
big curve which also makes it look like he has more on the front |

He isnt by any a chance a Snalien? (Ive still got some old toys, theyre awesome!) I'd suggest making the colours further apart. Theyre very close and make it look too soft, the outline in particular should be darker. Also, the jeans shouldnt reflect light like that, when have jeans ever had bubbles of light? Try building the shades into the creases. I cant talk any longer, but Ill try and give you some more crit if I get the chance. Goodluck! |

try using a softer/lighter color on the outlines that arent the primary
figure outline, ie the outline of the muscles in the upper arm. I
would suggest continue shading as you're doing now, but make the
shadows tighter and quicker to run off a slope or bump, such as from
the underarm to the bycept. If you are really having trouble
shading, check out other peoples' works, you might sometimes notice a
pattern, kind of like tweaked isometry, this helps me to shade most of
the time. ------------- "At least we killed some boredom..." - Death Note. |
