Hi Anvar, these are some nice explorations. I feel like your lighting work could benefit from more control and usage of atmospheric perspective, especially in the backgrounds, but also within the figures themselves.There is a very distinct separation of layers going on at different depths, and some atmosphere would help things sit in volumetic space better. Your figures are lacking in volume in quite a few areas also and I also think part of that is probably due to going a little too flat and dark in your shadow areas and not paying attention to form plane changes. Some more ambient light might help. I also think while colour dodge or screen can quickly put in nice bounce light effects, the effect can be overused, and causes a very abrupt looking light dropoff, with hotspots. I would use it a bit more subtly and/or paint back into the effect to tone down the drop off a bit more
