Description
After Nyte leaves home in '67 - which is to say 1767 (for details on story I think there are some in other art descriptions), his home is left to rot and ruin. Including all the old paintings of his family before things fell apart. Here is one from around '57, the year he was born. Margaret, his mother, Luke, the blond one and of course, our future redcoat is just the wee little baby. As for where Peter (his father) is, he's off serving king and country fighting those dastardly french in the French anf Indian war. After years of decay things are a bit of a mess.-In other words, look, I'm learning how to digital art!

I like the dull colours you used here: they give off a sense of old and crumbling to pieces even more than the Photoshop special effects - though next time you may want to let the frame have a non-dull, more lifelike colour, so it stands out and doesn't look like a flat part of the painting inside it. Perhaps also add some light shading on the hair, too, to give them depth just as there is on the gown and the skin.
Got to say, because it really really really is pretty glaring, the anatomy and proportions on Luke are very off: the head is too big, the torso too thin and short, and he seems to not have shoulders. I'd recommend looking up a lot of pose references and just have fun practicing with those; I swear it is fun. c:

Thanks, I will maybe go back and try to fix the proportion errors. It looked really off but I couldn't quite figure out how. Thank you very much for the tips though, I'm always really happy when someone takes the time to critique my art! Gosh, now that I see it better, it is actually hard to look at it! I'll fix it as soon as I can but it could be a few days.

Hah, you're welcome! By the way on proportions, this quick and simple guide could be of some help, since you're drawing adults and children: [link]
