Very good piece! My advice whould be to practice more on anatomy - the hip part looks a bit weird, but overall - very nice shading. The red on the hair looks like light but the red on the breasts and belly confuse me a bit, but that might be on purpose.

Keep practising, Good luck!

HI there!

This is nice.

So I would love to see what you do with just two tones, dark and light along with the midtone of the IMG_1962.jpegpaper. That would give you the ability to use at least 5 values with the pure white as highlights (used sparingly). Try to think of the body as a series of planes to give it substance and shape using how the light falls on the body to define those planes....

I tried to add a photo as an example but I don't seem to know how to do it from my laptop. I found this nice link that talks about anatomical planes. It explains what I mean.
