hey Kai,
Just wanted to say in your work overall maybe you can step back from the piece and find some more interesting shapes within shapes
and you have a common tendency to render around the shapes of light rather than giving direction to the forms being lit. that habit adds to that classical digital painting look, can flatten things out and push features out of place if you aren't careful so I recommend trying to develop a sense of the forms being in 3d as you paint them
it adds a bit more interest in your strokes too
hope that helps a little,
your'e doing well with the studies
