        Very good, i like the what you have done.

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

            Love the value studies. Thanks for posting. Your sense of composition is awesome. This last piece is definitely an improvement from the first one. Well done. I usually try to do values at the thumbnail level or step back and squint at the drawing. But I'm still working on my sense of composition.

                  @Alberto-M I really like where you're going with this. I love the way the sky draws me in, as well as the value studies you did, particularly the image of the dragon flying.

                  For me, at least when viewed from a distance, her left hand gets lost. I'm wondering if you could add more contrast between the hand and the dragon. Or maybe subtly change the shape or lighting on the bracelet to point the viewer's eye toward the hand.

                    thx for pointing out the hand issue, on the first test it's better

                    I'm also taking some parts of the cast shadow from the dragon of first image, so that shadow does not "cut" the way to the eye to navigate around the dragon head

                    major issue right now will be to choose between blonde or brunnette xD

                      @Alberto-M Blonde or Brunette-- such a tough call. I really like both. For what it's worth, the blonde reminded me a lot of Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones.

                        My vote is for the Brunette. Your thumbnails are much better!
