I want some comments on the shading of this piece. It's only a preview, and it's not done, but any advice you could give for let's say, the feathers, that would be very helpful!
Is the shading any good?
In a short answer, no. In a one word letter longer than the last answer, hell no.
The biggest issue is you have light bouncing all over the place.
I've illustrated some of the multiple light sources you have in your picture. Their is no consistency.
For the most part, your only going to need one Key light. And if you feel that isn't enough Try looking in to basic Three Point Lighting.
Those two should solve most of your basic lighting situations. Get those down before worrying about anything more fancy.
You want some other advice? Stop making threads for every damn little thing. Its annoying. Since the mods are obviously being as nice as they can, I'm sure pushing your luck with all these little threads isn't going to raise your standing with anyone. So Pick a thread and stick to it.

I appreciate you trying to help, but please don't curse at me. I'm not doing anything wrong.

Aside from the shading and not sticking to one thread?
I think shading is the least of your problems, since you still haven't been able to correct your anatomy. It still needs some serious work.

SIGH
Take it easy, people!
Anyhow. The sketch is nice. but you really need to work harder on the shadings (you can start at the COLORS etc.)
Try reading any tutorials or something.

No, it's true.
I think what poeple are trying to tell you is that it's no real use knowing how to shade if you don't know where to shade (or something along those lines). i.e. If you understand anatomy you'll get a better grip on which areas are light/dark.
That being said, if you want to practice shading you should start doing so on simple objects; cubes, balls, cylinders. After that you move on to more complex shapes suchs as fruit or some simple still life after that you can start on human figures.
NEVER LOOSE FAITH IN MANCUNT
Gonna have to agree with Kinsei, the lighting looks too forced, as if she's posing for a photoshoot with a million strobe lights.
Referring to your finished product. You should have kept coming back for advice.

I'm going to re-upload it with a different background. I'm going to give it another shot. Any tutorials on water DRAWING?

I'm liking this one to start with
While I'm working on this one, I'll draw another sketch of a character I have had in my head for about a week that HAS to come out now.

try landscape painting, you learn alot about diverse lighting and understanding the whole composition.
*sigh* Now I'm remembering why I disappeared off the NG forums months ago.
Anyways, some nice calm and completely polite advice. I find the shading is a little too light. Maybe it's just my computer, but many parts are barely visible. I'm not great with shading myself though, and still learning to do it properly digitally, so this might not be the best critique/advice.
wtf happened? there were other posts in this thread? I never saw mods delete a bunch of posts in a thread without the thread being locked/deleted. didnt even know it was possible.
funny stuff

I'll do both instead. I need to draw this character. Furthermore, what's the quickest way to learn landscapes?

Sacrificing small animals on the steps of the Louvre to the gods of art...
That or actually studying and practicing for a long periods of time.

I don't HAVE a long period of time.
You know what? Fuck it. I'll just post the character instead. I don't have time to waste on a background.

That sounds like a personal problem. Art, any art, isn't something mastered over night, and being an artist isn't something you can take a shortcut on. If you don't want to put in the time and energy, then why are you wasting our time?

Thing is, I plan on using my art for video games very soon. That's why I don't have a lot of time to master all of this stuff. Add to that college, getting my driver's license and a bunch of other major life events, no matter how much I want to, I just do not have the time. I have the time for characters, that's for sure. I will find some way to squeeze practice in, but it's going to take a long time before I have the required free time needed. So, my art posts will be very limited here. It's not that I don't want to practice, time is what's the issue here.
Forget the background. Just focus on the character for this piece please. I am practicing backgrounds at some point this weekend, along with drawing my nautical themed character (I promise it will be very unlike anything you've seen so far). Again, please only focus on the character. I didn't want to waste anymore time on this one, because I really need to get a move on.

I could have...? Why didn't anyone tell me!
