-: The picture is pretty. From I can tell, the shoulder should be a little bit more bulkier. The way you have the arm makes the palm goes upward, exposing the palm more.

The hat looks like it's blending towards one side. I may be wrong on thing but I tried to guess how it look.

As for the coloring, I'm having a hard time figuring out the light source for it.


If I didn't explain something well, please feel free to ask. :-

ahh, thanks so much!! i see what you mean about the shoulder.. and of course, the palm makes sense surprised i think i need to work on necks, lol. i overlook them all the time but i'm realising they have a big part in deciding how uncomfortable the person looks.

the hat blending towards one side - how did you mean..? i remember struggling with the hat for a while lol

yeah the light source confused me too. i was originally going to have two... and then i realised the person wanted the light from somewhere else... so i just made a third. and then i kinda gave up. haha.

-: Having three light sources can really be overwhelming. I'm sorry.

Maybe some visual aid will help? I don't know, let me know if you still can't understand. :-

Ooooohhhhhhh.... I see, that makes a whole lot more sense, very helpful. I tried for ages to find a reference for a half-sunken or crooked top hat but those are rare and far between!! Thanks again!
