the paint needs a bit more thinning. and i'm not too sure about the blue hair (but its done very well) I think the wood needs some more highlighting. However it is definetly a nice looking piece. keep it up
He's nice :) You're definetly on the right road to become a great painter. You're painting clean and your freehand is really nice. The highlights on the skin are not that smooth, you could use the glazing technique to make it more smooth. My advice is to just keep on painting, that's the best way to get better :)
