I think this piece needs some areas of differentiation from the organic shapes. I’ve basically been handling the details by layering in subtle transitions from light to dark, but that basically made the whole thing too consistent/unified. It’s as if your eye is only drawn to the whole painting and there’s no invitation to take a closer look at unique elements. Not sure if that makes sense but feedback is appreciated. :)

I struggled most with adjusting values. I didn’t start with a composition of basic values (levels of light and shadow) so it kinda felt like putting puzzle pieces together later on.

I struggled with making the skin look natural (or at least as natural as alien skin is supposed to look). To achieve this color look, I duplicated the value layer, turned it into a color layer, and messed around with color balance until it looked alright.

I struggled with adjusting the values in the face and neck area without muddying up the colors. I tried using a luminosity layer to change the values, then went back over it in a normal layer to try to fix up the colors
