kvSketch Learns to Get Gewd

[xelfereht]

Did a little bit of paint over
by no means perfect, just trying to suggest how you could proceed with it
When I looked at your original one, my eyes flicked between her eye, the knife and the light on her nose and struggled to settle.
I tried to make the first point be her eye.
you can test this while you paint by closing your eyes, opening them and being conscious of how they travel through the piece and then gauge how effectively it matches your intent.
you can get your light to create more interesting shapes to make the forms read less basic and at the same time use it to point towards areas of interest.

her hands felt a little awkward, i just physically made that pose myself and felt what might be more natural and adjusted.
I altered her expression to look a little more tense to reflect what shes considering doing to herself in that moment.

and where theres fire theres smoke. you can play atmosphere to your advantage, pushing back areas that are less important and spilling some light and colour into the piece

hope that helps in some way.
