This is incredible, love the values in the lighting, especially on the hair. Looks very clean

You are more than forgiven, that is actually very helpful as it gives me something tangible to try and improve on. I'll aim to clean that up in the future. Thank you both @gawrone and @jok for the constructive criticism and for the explanation.

Thanks for the critique man, lighting and color have been my main areas of study lately, so it's good to hear that's working for me.

Not sure I fully grasp your meaning about painted vs pixelled tho, could you elaborate a bit?

Thank you! I really enjoyed this challenge prompt. Looking forward to next week's.
