the only thing I think this art could use is better adjustment of the dark values to really make it stand out. Use what ever image editing program and bring out the darkness. I also think that some paper texture might make it more appealing. You did very well with the colors, great job. I also think that the edjes in the image could be more smooth. A smooth transition of colors would look better. Also I think the shadow around horns should be more pronounced. I think there should be more deapth than u have at the moment. Also the hair needs to continue more around the horn to make it look more connected. U are an increadible artist and I only see minor changes that would most definatly improve the image

What do you think?

I know you've already had someone say something about this piece but i would just like to point out how another layer of tone would really bring out this image. Focusing inside the mouth with darker tones would really bring out the teeth.
A smokey ice blue grey wash for the background would really bring the figure forth as well.
For me my favorite part is the horns, they're sharp and their curve is perfect.

Thanks, yea that is something that I continue to work with as each piece progresses. Trying to find the right color and balance earlier in a piece so that I don't have to over layer and over work areas later. The more that I work with watercolor, the more I feel I have a lot to learn about this medium.
