Seduction

I like the facial expression, but your chin is too pointy. You have an entire jawbone beneath that chin, full of teeth. Draw enough room inside the chin for them.

Yes, the head is too small, but the forearm is way too long, giving you a preying mantis-type look when combined with the tiny head and a really long torso. SAVE this version, so that you may someday return to it, paint and texture yourself green with a couple antennae.

Forearms are 1/4 a head length shorter than the upper arm. Bend your arm at the elbow, and look where your wrist falls on your upper arm...

The lower torso is way too low, which is why the mantis look is so strong.

The distance from the top of the head to the hips is 3 head lengths, with the distance from the hips to the toes 4 head lengths.

The veins are a little creepy looking, but the lighting and mood look good.

Im glad you can notice the mood,and like the lighting..

Well, I was going to wait until you shaped up the anatomy, but since you asked, it's not very good.

You have no consistency in lighting, with highlights too bright, and coming from all over the place. You 've highlighted body parts that shouldn't be, in weird directions (the yellow arrows), and placed shadows where light should be (the blue arrows). The pink arrow is for the really weird lump on the side.

You need to establish a clear direction for your lighting, and stick with it consistently.

Likewise, there's not much to say about the coloring, because your anatomy is bad, and your coloring still too rough. The creepy veins and the sloppily colored jeans are clear enough evidence of that. The shirt is like a black hole. NO light is reflecting or refracting off of it, except for a few misplaced highlights. Look and think about light shining on fabric. Take a black t-shirt, and put it next to a lamp, and see if it is still as black as a void...

This is in too rough a stage to worry about color beyond your basic palette. Work on improving your anatomy, shape, space, and values first, THEN worry about color.
If you're not going to be filling ALL that negative space on both sides, crop it off. Focus on your SUBJECT, not a bunch of empty background. Rotate your canvas, and fill it with you. Your girlfriend will like looking at that more than black and gray smudges all over the place.

Not sure if you pointed out this Cyber, but his hips, the right side of it, joining with the leg. Its funky. Great start though, but suger on shit is just that, pretty colors on a bad structure. Burne Hogarth, Loomis, and Bridgman are good guys to look into for Anatomy. Give er a shot.
