Asked for help
Color is still a big learning process for me, these lessons have been very helpful. Tried new things in your lessons I've never approached before. Hope anyone can help critique on my drawings. Thank you.

I'd say the proportions look phenomenally well done! If it's one thing I'd critique would be the characters left cheek bone in the painted piece. Something about the facial skin tones seem off, it looks as if the cheek is discolored from bruising(That's probably just me though.) Also, this may be a oversight on my part, but her right brow ridge looks as though the lasso tool was used to adjust proportions but was never painted in to acuminate that edited.
As for the clothing, the highlights on the jacket are solid, but I would suggest trying to make the shadow parts just a bit brighter, as it looks as though the fabric pieces under her arm absorb all light that make contact with it. Of course, not all these critiques have to be taken, you can very well take this with a grain of salt. Thanks for your time! and happy artist-ing!
For me personally, I try to loosen myself up, I usually do this by "warming up" with practice sketches, the point of this "warm up" is to loosen my mind. The practice sketches are at times simple lines, curves, ad circles, other times a rough attempt to draw my desired subject/topic, something I like to remind myself is that "This is just a warm up sketch, if it looks bad, messy, poorly made, that's fine, I'm not striving for perfection in this sketch, and it isn't going to be my final product, so it doesn't matter. As for the hands, they're looking solid, If I were to suggest something would be: try to give more shade towards the mid-tones; Try to make the highlights (white areas) smaller. Anyway, thanks for your time, and good luck with your future project, goodbye!
