hmmmmmm

Idk too much to say...

are you more wanting to do cartoony type stuff?

Idk what perspective to critique this from :S

well im big into anime prob what influenced me the most that and dragons love dragons

idk give me your honest opinion bad or good

its pretty bad from my view....

so much soft brush.... and your colors are very very flat.... Why do you use only one hue of green??? change color variation and It will improve your paintings. For example the dragon is green. But maybe theres a more yellowish green? or a cooler green in some spots? More dull green or washed out?

I feel as though you lack alot of the basics atm... and are trying to dive into big pieces. I myself and many others made this mistake when we first started out. Trust me its good to start out with simple and basic. It may seem boring but now its actually one of my favorite things to do. When I oil paint I think I almost enjoy still lifes more than some complicated composition.

Your lighting in the piece doesnt make any sense.

There is way to much black. which drains the whole piece....

the girl has no nipples? just skin potatoes.

I dislike the typical black outline around every edge. but I guess thats the anime side....

Anime artists and any cartoon artists didnt start out with anime drawing. Im sure maybe they did as a kid but they had to learn the basics. Lighting/composition/color theory/anatomy etc etc. These are key

alote of that is true

but like the dragon its not 1 base color theres green dark green olive etc or did you mean like a compleaty diferent color all togethere

and as for the nipples lol its hidden by the hair there in the right place even if it dosnt look like it

and im just getting used to all this

did i not make any emprovements from the last one you saw?

tint/shade are totally different from hue

I could paint a red apple with 1 hue and change the tint and shade, and it would look so bland ;/

it looks about the same as your other pieces :S

I dont think your working on stuff that will help you improve

this might help:

huh?

tint/shade is the value of a specific color.

o well i no what shade it but tint?

shade is the darker value, tint is the higher value
