Besides what Steve Lenze has mentioned, consider the lighting.
You currently have 4 light sources: 2 equal sources of light from both left and right directions, 1 direct front facing light source, and one from top right of the image (left of character).
While having many light sources is not incorrect, it is quite complex. If you decide to keep them, you have to make sure that the shadow shapes are designed as per the lighting conditions.
An easy way to approach it is as follows:
Set your first light source...outline the shadow parts of this light
Set your second light source...outline the shadow parts of this light
Repeat for other sources of light...
Where these shadows intersect will be your darkest tones, and where they do not, become affected by the other light sources, hence making them brighter.
Keep it up!

Ohh that makes total sense. I’ll try this concept out. Thank you so very much.
The rock figure came about randomly one day, glad you like it!
The web's definitely been in favor of social media platforms the last 15 years, and I never quite got the same value in them for artist growth as the old-school forum format.
What do you suggest is the best way to get value from the Proko platform overall? Including offerings beyond the forum itself..
Woa, last time I joined an art community was in 2005, the long since forgotten UCM URDrawing...
I am a generalist overall but do put more effort in some sort of hybrid manga/anime stuff. I've shared a couple of things I've done as an introduction.
Definitely looking for a place to grow online, I had no idea Proko had a forum format artist community, and looking to give it a shot!
