Self-critique: Well..... it's not bad perse but it's definitely poorly executed. Vague outline of character, blurred edges, the hand to the far left being clipped a bit by the border, and colors so faded the entire composition looks almost monochromatic. Not a very impressive piece but experimentation took place and that's something in itself. You should definitely experiment more often. Also the color on the rock formation is too saturated. That was a big hit. The background was also too complicated and it took away from the focal point in the end. Keep your backgrounds simple and perhaps even monochromatic.

Composition: Design wise, it's flawed, simply put. No directional forces, focal point in the center, a WEAK focal point, the picture seems off balance as if it were going to tip to the right, and with your pigment choice and lack of repeting shapes the unity in this piece is shot. You didn't think and the work suffered. And applying a photofilter layer to try and save the piece is NOT going to work. Never do it again.

Things to repeat in the next picture: I kind of like how you handled the reflected light in this piece. Though it's a bit sloppy clean it up next time.

34/100

What to do next time:

-I want you to slow down, have a drink of water, and seriously think about your images before you give yourself an aneurism.

-Look more into the "block-in" color method. Practice it more.

-Learn to add individual character pigment so the image doesn't look blurry and ambiguous. (Pick a set of colors to work with from the start and stick with them. For your next piece keep things almost monochromatic with the smallest amount of variation you can. And keep going this until you have it down.)

-You're still lacking in details, though you're tring at least. Start downloading some textures from CGtextures. On a needed basis of course.
