I'm not exactly good with cloth, and I didn't have time to look for the greatest references... You can tell I got stumped for a while because there are four almost identical progress thingies. () I also think I screwed up somewhere down the line because I was too lazy to really reshade the skull once I draped some cloth over it. In the end I decided to make the eyes smaller to make more room for some kind of expression....the vertebra I added in at the last second almost seems like it could be the lower jaw, which makes it kind of look like a smile in the end. If I were to continue I'd try and work with that. I'm not sure if I strayed too far from your original intention, but I digress, this might help you find something to do with that hood of yours, possibly.



So I think your piece has seen a lot of improvement, but, well, it still has a lot of outline. I suppose that's fine, but I think it's hurting you more than it's helping you right now. There's also a little bit of random dithering inside the hood that just seems off.

Tried AA on the edge of the hood, idk if I like it. Will prolly get rid of it anyways.

I don't believe I can give you any practical advice...but that is not AA.

...Why can't I control myself? Here. I know it's not helpful, but yeah.

...What is it I want to say...? You're thinking with outlines, so you're failing to express volume. Or that's what it seems like to me.
Err, but uh, nice progress so far. I don't mean to say mean things if that's what it sounds like.

Yeah, the shadow is fine in my opinion. Instead I think you should work on readability. It might just be me, but I can't tell what's going on from the waist up. I'm still working on my understanding of anatomy so I won't say anything specific, but her arm also looks a bit...wrong, and the pose seems painfully unnatural. Oh, and where is her other arm? I just realized it doesn't exist.

The readability issues might have something to do with the one-colored jumpsuit. I recommend throwing a vest, or something on her. Or something.

That was my first post in like two years.

 
It's occurred to me that I don't know anything about shading larger things.

  I think I addressed the major problems
My posture looks terrible, but I like it. (Unless it looks really bad, I don't know)
Also, I started to draw a shirt, because looking at it naked was kind of weird.

I guess right now my biggest priority is finding a camera so you guys can help with likeness.
And cleaning my lines.
