These are fabulous. Because you're obviously quite skilled already, be more daring with the marks you leave and the way you load the brush!

More rendering and character design. Trying to keep it simple. I really like to use the lasso for selecting areas and applying airbrush set to dodge or burn, it has a cool effect I think.

Working on my rendering and character design. Let me know what you think.

Character design, sort of red wall inspired. Maybe I'll add color later.

I think you have the right idea, use circular forms for the contours which are foreshortened. I know it's not what you're aiming to do, but try tracing the image now.

I like his expression. You really captured some emotion here. I think his hair lost the magic, however, it looks like it's pressed up against glass the way you shaded it. Also bring just a little more light to his jaw so that it doesn't completely melt into the background, which probably isn't what you want considering his ear is lit.

Took some time to make characters with a Philip K. Dick vibe. I don't like spending too much time fiddling with details, rather let my brushes do the work and add little bits of visual interest wherever. Let me know what you think.

Been on a Depeche Mode trip lately, I don't know what started it but for the past 1.5 weeks I've been consuming their tuff. It's wildly nostalgic. "Never let me down" is an absolute banger, but the music video is lacking. "Enjoy the silence" is the next best thing in my opinion. Can we do hashtags here? #depechemode

My dog is a bit of a loose cannon. Try taking away his chew toy and he'll throw a fit. This picture personifies the little guy when he has a jealous tantrum.
