So are you looking for a graphic artist or an illustrator/drawing artist? Because if the latter I can provide some of that

Thanks for your crits man, yeah some of the proportions are off and the lighting setup isn't so great on the second two, so automatically it looks more dull because the first one has clear lighting contrast. Just need to make sure I make the contrast more interesting in the future. Also I suck at hands - Maybe I'll post some updates of drawing them? Might be a good idea :)

Anyway, thanks for the comment - appreciate it :)

(Because the last one didn't work:)

You should probably edit your first post with the correct link ;) Anyway,

I like it! there's a good sense of shading, and it's definitely better than my first digital painting (But saying that I couldn't draw, but anyway)

My critique would be to say, work on soft vs hard shadows a little more, and try to blend the values a little better. I'm looking at the forehead, nose etc - basically if there is a really light value to a really dark value in short space, then you probably need to add more values in between to make a smooth transition. Also, I would say the colours are a little muddy - and that is probably because you've gone into the black range to make it darker. Pay attention to shadows - shadows are necessarily black. In fact, shadows (dependent on the skin colour) are dark red or blue. Even highlights are not predominantly white in colour - they normally have a tint of a colour such as yellow, or blue (dependent on the light source)

Finally, a bit more polish on the ear, and the hair is confusing because there are highlights in areas that should be in shadow - which adds to sense of it being a little flat. But I do like the shadow that comes from the neck down onto the jacket - well done!

Overall great job - keep em coming! :)
