I feel like your characters look kinda flat in some places. maybe try to work more from dark to light, that is something that really helped me develope a sense of volume in my figures.
rendering that way feels like sculpting to me, because you litarally shape your figure adding the lighter values.

Thanks a lot for the feedback.

Yeah I guess I have to worry more about the volumes before jumping into colors. Thanks again!

More comission development. This time it's a portrait of a Vampire. I'm using John Singer Sargent work as a ref to give a painterly look.
