/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

anyone wanna critique this? there are parts that i like about it like the face and the left hand but there are other parts (everything else where the shading looks so muddled that it's like visual gibberish. maybe if i do some blending then it will look better. idk if the blacks need to be blacker, the dynamic range is wide enough that it looks alright. it also took forever which is counter to what i wanted, which was to be faster and more efficient. i mean, it is faster than what i've been doing, but it has still taken like 6 hours just to make this and it looks vastly inferior. it looks like the painting equivalent of a sketch.

is this just my life now? i can't do anything fast? fuck
