Tricky pose and tricky perspective - you did a good job! I think you've done particularly well on the guitar and her face. Keep working on that anatomy, but overall I think it all comes together well <3

Hello from project comment I hope this finds you well, I'll try to give you some helpful feedback for the art piece you've been kind enough to share here on DA!
Firstly I'd like to comment on your style, it's very pleasant and folk-ish and the mix of textures and shapes withing the shading and reminds me of some of my own early works I first posted when I found project comment Overall I find your style warm and wholesome with a touch of fluid-ness that comes from the way you mix your shading a line styles.
One of the main areas that could be improved here is your anatomy. Overall I'd say you're much more skilled in the area than I was even at 18 since I've always been a slow learner. The most noticeable anatomy flaws in this piece seem to be around the joints and wrist where they curve at rather odd angles and the arms are a bit off compared to the way they'd be if someone were playing a guitar. Drawing humans is a difficult task made even more complicated by the addition of a musical instrument.
I will give you the best advice I've ever been given as far as art study goes, and that is use photo references. If you have a phone or computer simply type your desired subject, such as person playing guitar into google images and there's no shortage of photos to use. However if you're ever without reliable internet you can do what I do and use your library where there's plenty of books and computers to use. Using reffs really changed my art in a good way and if you're not already using them I highly encourage you to start.
You mentioned your study of prospective and that's wonderful, I don't think it failed at all. The piece does not fall flat and the lay out of the elements are quite eye catching. Prospective gets less hard once you start thinking in the three POV (well there's more than three but we simplify things) 1 overhead bird's eye view, which is one of the least used in visual art 2nd level or horizontal, the most communally used and 3rd from below looking up, which is close to what you have here and often the most pleasing of the three, though humans can sometimes look less flattering from this angle.
Lastly the cushion on which the girl is setting seems to be floating in mid air, if this was intentional than I'd suggest shadowing the areas beneath the levitation, if not than the girl should be closer down on the ground or have a crate or still under the cushion.
Your vision for the piece really speaks volumes you have a good eye for character development and lay out of details. I had a look at some of your other works and they are quite lovely. Overall out There's a lot of potential here and I can tell you put a lot of effort into the dynamics of your artworks.
