Fedodika - I've increased both hands slightly so hopefully now it looks better.
Roanna - Thanks Roanna :) My knowledge of hands is not the best but I'll try and make the changes you reccommended...will need to google a few of the things you said haha.
Been busy the last few days so didn't get as far along as I wanted but oh well, went to see a Charles Rennie Mackintosh
exhibition which was interesting.
Anyway been working on the illustration more, mainly trying to figure out my value scheme and colour comp. Followed Loomis's value schemes from his book and then tweaked one of the ones I thought worked and changed 1 or 2 of the values round. Messed up a few times and restarted 1 or 2 of the comps again so definnitely took me longer than I expected.
Today I've been working on some colour comps but finding it difficult since my colour theory is not the best. Again restarted these a few times as I was originally trying to match my colours to the value scheme but in the end decided to just set a new layer to multiply and glaze some colour on top. Not sure if that is the best approach or not...
After seeing my colour comps I'm thinking of changing some of my values round and see if I can make it better, mainly switching the value of her dress and skin tone round so her dress is the lightest value and then bring the values of her dress in shade and the creases down a value just to lighten it overall and perhaps try and select my colours and painting over the value comps rather than being lazy and glazing hopefully someone here could point me in the right direction.

Value/Colour Comps
P.s got some stuff from my life and portrait class but been too lazy to snap a pic so will do it tomorrow.
