Hm, yea, I think my problem was that I did not decide the specifics of lighting. Now I can see how its all over the place. Yea, the character is way too intense... I will try to even things out a bit somehow....Maybe darken the whole background, the 2 colons in the back, just even it out a bit. And maybe make the first two colons have the darkest shadows. Anyway, I think I should either focus on the character only, or make it like any other still life-things in the front have the biggest contrast. So I will try the second I think..

Thanks. Its a goddess Lilith in her temple. I was getting tired of all the studying of fundamentals, so I decided to make myself an exciting task. I read about Lilith, her symbols-snake, white rose, the ability to charm through mirrors....and I came up with this. Great way to practice and you learn much more when you actually want to make something amazing.

Another one I made, this time A2 cut in to a square. All pencil. I started with the cliche owl and the moon, but I though I will add something a bit more interesting... The feathers of the owl are a struggle though..
