      I like your new sketch...it gives the feeling that the character is in peril.

          I the pose is really good, make sure you put plenty of atmospheric perspective with in it.

          Never give up, always push yourself two steps further than you believe you can go.

                  So true... All these kids stories from back in the day are so odd when you think about it.

                      I think I'm not gonna render it, instead, i'll do more linework with just a soft plain colors with gradiation. :l

                                            Hey Alberto, maybe I can help some here. If you notice the quick paint over I did below, you will see a few things. When I converted your image to greyscale it turned to basically dark on dark which is extremely difficult to pull off. When planning your values try to keep it simple. Think "Is this a light shape on a dark background, or a dark shape on top of a lighter one?" That way it keeps everything clear. I did the quick paint over here and tried to pull out her face some and soften that lighting stripe in the background. It all just depends on where you want the emphasis. John Singer Sergent painted beautiful images with the figure dark and the background light. So that can be done here too. You just need to decide which way you want to go with it.

                                            Hope that helps some... : )

                                            Cheers,
                                            Lee
