Character painting

Nice job on the clothing. The detail reads really well.
You just need to spend a little more time on the face.
The structure seems correct it just reads a little flat right now.

Im just getting used to painting with Photoshop. I rarely paint. Traditional painting is not my strongest.

Thanks, for your suggestions.

The detail in the suit is amazing! I agree with rey, take a little more time to put some of that clothing detail into the face and bump up the contrast between light/dark areas of the clothing. It looks like you need to define you light source a bit more as well. when you are starting to light a character, at least this helped me, get a small desklamp and go out and buy a few action figures. then light them, you'd be amazed how much you can learn through observation. keep it up :D

I see what you mean, If you look at the drawing version I decided not to add a actual light source, its more like the light is coming from the front. I shaded the convex surfaces lighter then the concave and most edges to have highlights. I was thinking of painting in the shadow later in Photoshop, but really lightly.

Thanks for your suggestion.
