here's a shitty paintover

some tips to get better results
- use a simple lighting setup and think about it when painting shadow and light
- use a ref for the pose and remember about proportions. don't get fooled by photo distortion
- paint occlusion shadows
- when using ref, try to "understand", not just "see"
- check your painting against a similar one made by a pro (is the value range ok? maybe it looks flat because the shadows should be darker? are colors too desaturated?)
