      I would consider a lighter value on the helmet as it is very close in value to the green hill area and it disappears into it.

        @nyrryl-cadiz This is beautiful! For the knight, his green tunic and sword hilt needs to move a bit further into the foreground. You can do that by coloring the hilt a dark color and adding a transparent dark tone (i.e., shadow) to his entire form, but maybe have a bit of his left edge showing some light coming around his form.

        Also, I'm a bit confused about where the light is coming from. It seems to be a spotlight, and I see the dragon's shadow, but nothing for the knight.

        Lastly, there's a tangent where the sword touches the dragon's claw. You can either tuck the dragon's foot further behind the sword, or move the angle of the sword. This, of course, can be done in Photoshop.

          @johanna-kim Hi! Thanks for the comment. Yeah, the knight is still not finished. I'll be sure to apply what you said. 🙂

              Here's an update. I've finally colored my knight character, adjusted the sword and added shadow. Any critiques?

                @nyrryl-cadiz Looking really good. I would maybe push the shadows a little more. Mainly your occlusion shadows.

                  Great piece! I love the princess' attitude 🙂 I think the dragon needs a nice big shadow. He'd certainly cast a large one, and maybe that might help place him more firmly on the ground.

                    @kat Yeah, I think so too. I haven't finished that part yet. Thanks for the comment.

                        Hi, everybody!
                        Sorry for the long wait but here's my revised piece. I made the knight's shadow darker. I added the dragon's cast shadow and emphasize its scales by adding highlight. I hope you guys like it!
