good proportions love the pose and expression ! nice detail I don't think you've find a good photoshop brush yet, though xd blend the colors a bit more, not saying to the point of being smooth, but to give more of a brush stroke feel, personally I don't like those smooth air brushy type paintings as much as a well done painterly style of digital art. The black lineart is a bit choppy I try not to use black lineart o.o
But digital art is a bit tough to grasp XD which is why I still stick to painting watercolor it's more relaxing T_T; then dealing with photoshop brushes lol

First of all, this is pretty good for only being your fifth digital painting!

Since you said you wanted feedback on painting techniques I'm going to leave out the whole talk about anatomy, though I have to say that you did a pretty good job with that!

I see that you have a good sense of colour, for the colours you used fit together well. You also didn't just make shadows black and highlights white, which is great.
Nevertheless you could be a little bit bolder and use lighter and darker colours that are not quite like the base colour, but slighly more blue (for the shadows on his trousers for example) and red (for shadows on his face). Be careful with the saturation though, you wouldn't want him to look all red and blue This would also create a greater contrast, which in turn would make the character stand out more.

Concerning your shading technique. Your shading kind of lacks blending. There are many ways and techniques on how to go about it, and you'll develop your own method some day. Until then, it's wise so learn from others. It's kind of hard to explain how to do shading shading in a comment alone, so I'll give you some links to some awesome shading tutorials instead: [link] [link] [link] [link] . There are many more to be found here on dA (on many different topics as well), so you might want to search for more yourself!

One little thing I noticed are the black outlines; they look too sketchy in some parts. You could paint over them (see sahding tutorials), or simply clean them up a bit. Maybe make the lines thicker in some places and thinner in others (that makes the whole picture look more dynamic), or colour them with them same colours you used for clothes and skin.

All in all, this is a very good start, and I think if you practise shading some more, you'll be great soon! Keep it up

PS: All of the above is solely my own opinion, so you're free to disagree with all of it of course!

I don't know a lot about the style, medium, or subject, but I'll see what I can come up with...
He has an interesting pose, although it may feel a tad strained. The colors are good here too, although the lighting could have a better direction--it often is pleasing to the eye when there is one dominant light source, providing highlights to one side of the subject, and contrasting shadows on the other side.

I'll start off by telling you that you did a nice job with his pose. The character is also proportioned well, however the chin is a bit large. The line art and coloring are not clean but that's just the style you have going and it works here. Some things to improv on would be trying to clean things up, but thats only if you wan to go for a neater finished piece. If you like the style you have then stick with it.
Overall this is a nice OC and you really are getting the hang of it so keep it up! We hope to see more from you.
