Random skull from a professional newbie

[ptoing]

There certainly are improvements. How many colours is it now?
I think the contrast could be pushed a bit more and also the clarity of what's going on at the tip of the mouth and the right side is not overly clear.

Keep going

So the main problem throughout this picture, from the very beginning, was contrast. So I fixed that. Perhaps there's too much now, I don't know. I also was able to eliminate about 16 shades (!), bringing the total to 12. 11 on the skull itself, 1 for white/transparency. I also included the palette so yall can see what colors are used and maybe it'll help with critiquing.



Closer?
