Hi there Liam and welcome to our little funny farm

Great job there for your first pic. I wish I had been that good at age 9.
Comments: Basically what Jabberwocky said. Also, you might try adding another step in the colours. For example, try starting off the loincloth in a darker brown, then do the middle tone (the main colour you used on it), but leave the \"deepest\" parts the darker colour. Then just do the edges like you already did. That way it would look a bit more \"clear\", so to speak.
I hope that helps. Just have patience and keep up the good work! Looking forward to see more from you.

EDIT: Oh, and could you please tell how exactly you did the sword\'s blade? I can\'t tell that well from the picture alone...
