and i dont think the pose is all that great, though i like the concept; dont be afraid to kill your darlings and try some other poses and explore more for illustration pieces. my buddy grego kari did some sketches like these and i wanna try it too to get loosened up

when i look at your sketch i dont feel all that intrigued, its just a girl standing there with a light, theres no real tension or story. itd almost be like a comission or something, or maybe a bouguereau. but even he could convey a lot of story in subtelty,

these are really simple paintings in concept but the expression shows a lot of story and narrative, but he can only pull this off because of his super high technical skill, but ya, id reccomend just keep exploring, i did that a lot on my raven piece and it payed off big time
Thanks for the link, I'm gonna check them out now before I re work the drawing, see if it helps at all.
Yh I remember having difficulties with her back hand when I originally sketched this out, my figure skills weren't as good back then (clearly), she's basically meant to have her hands out as if she had just set the lantern off (which I forgot to sketch out).
I still like the idea of the girl and the lantern but as you said I can do a much better job of protraying it.
