The side of the image that I have the hardest time drawing is the obstructed/covered part, and in the end I like to simplify it. Criticism and suggestions are always welcome, and for that I am very grateful.
What do you mean, with obstructed/covered parts? The background? Also for the “luminous book” one, it feels like some shadows are missing, especially on the face.
I like the night one It’s eye-catching to me. Maybe it’s the contrast between the face and the hair?
I mean like the curves of the body, the upper arm to the right shoulder, which when sketching I have to really pay attention to even though it will be covered by loose clothes or other parts of the body.
You are right, for that part I am still learning to guess where to place the light and where to place the shadows.
