What is your plan on the top of the head though? Kinda curious.

skin tone itself is really difficult to master and creating a "plastic look" is usually the issue when painting it. this is usually dubbed as looking "dead," since this is what a corpse would look like. as i said, skin tone is difficult.

the contrast in this piece is fine in my opinion. the hue variation is where i believe there is a lack of.

in traditional art this is done through adding blues for darkened areas, yellow and red for midtones and lighter, intense values. in digital art, its done in the hue slider, moving it to a cooler hue for shadows, and a warmer hue for light values.

if you have more questions you could message me on discord. im in the tang discord so just post in the art chat.
