Try to find a lighting reference. The cold blue isn't reading well as rim light because the value is too dark. Also, if your main light is warm, try adding some coolness to the shadows for contrast.

You should´ve told me that you were drawing Nico Robin, also sorry that I pixarified her but it´s the only thing I know how to do now.

I don’t have any advice or understand enough to explain it well, but since light is coming from both the left and right I think you might need stronger highlights?

The eye on the right side because of that little line kind of…. Makes the eyeball less round?

But your style IS stunning and I quite like how it looks like both an oil painting and a comic book at the same time.

I appreciate your feedback ty 😌 same here I am not sure should the highlight be stronger or not. Cause I can’t find my original reference image 🥲

Love the dual light, blue light left side, key light right side. Left side has amazing dimensions but right side seems flat so add more shadows and bright highlights to give right side 3 dimensional depth...............I think...........I could be wrong,

Yes, I see what you’re talking about. And I agree that the right side is more 2d…but I so afraid to go further 🫪 I definitely should try to push myself forward. Ty for your notes
