      Hi, a comment on the lighting - if the character is standing in the shadow of the mountain / iceberg, then she shouldn't be lit on the right half. Also, I think the mid- and background should decrease in contrast t go back and establish clearer middle and backgrounds, however the igloo is outlined and highlighted which brings it forward and the levels of distance aren't too clear to me. i'd try going smaller, using bigger shapes with few tone values to try different stuff out. Hope that helps 🙂

          Right now we are seeing the character more or less straight on from behind. You might experiment with a more three quarters view. This could make it easier to depict the legs and communicate more movement as she walks. As we walk we're always transferring weight from one leg to the other, but that could be hard to show from this angle.

            You might simplify your values to 3 levels, and just play with shapes first. Experiment with thumbnails and the shapes of the ice, wolf and Red to see what works best together. I really love the wolf shadow you put in, there are so many fun things you can do with that. Here are a few very quick experiments. I find I can cover a lot of options this way until I find something I like... hope this helps...B5268432-D783-4418-9B49-5CE81C802E80.jpeg

                      Thanks everyone for your help this is due at midnight tonight for class. I’m still learning digital painting but it’s better that what I was doing a year ago.
