Woah! Love your style!
Gonna be really nit-picky here as there’s not much to point out that’s very obvious.

  1. Shading. You’ve done it really well! Only things I would really point out is the face. The amount of white makes him look shiny and artificial. If you used a cream colour in some places to replace the white I think that would add to the appeal.

  2. Colours. You have a lot of warm tones and not really any cool tones. Make sure there’s a balance of both when planning out colouring.

  3. Tongue? I think there’s a tongue coming out of the mouth? If it is then colour it in a pale red.

  4. Background and Outline. The red background doesn’t really make the character stand out too much. As they’re both similar in tone they blend together a bit and don’t make each other pop (example is the outline not being very visible unless you look closely).

    If you made the background a yellow, blue or a green sort of tone, it could balance out the cool and warm tones and would bring out the neon pink in the character’s hair.

Overall it’s a really pleasing piece and the lines and design are really clean!
