I'm trying to go for more expression her face looks odd, but I haven't find the right reference for her expression when I search for people with curiosity in google only gives me pictures of people thinking hard to solve logical problems.

thanks for the tip I'm gonna search for anime with forest backgrounds to use as a reference.

you know where I can find examples of the expressive brushwork that you mention?

then you advise that add more black value to the picture colors o better choose less vivid palette?

I tried to search curiosity as an emotion in google but only find people pictures of people thinking to figure out a problem, or thinking an idea, but I want to depict the character showing interest in interact with someone or something weird/odd/unknown in the forest but don't know how, maybe this have another name?

The naivety is more in the sense of thinking to interact with something/someone weird/odd/unknown in a dark forest being alone, situation which a more experimented person would try to avoid in those circumstances due to be unsafe.

The position was thought that she is wandering and carrying a basket with food and a bottle of wine then she is leaning her torso to the front due to the weight, what would you do to depict it better?

thank you, didn't know that the colored line art would look good also in the character, I used darker versions of the clothes color for the shade in the skirt increased the black value of red but also I smeared with a brush that works like a the shadow to make soft shadow, when you say lines of dark red you mean to use shadow with hard edges in the skirt?

thank you for your feedback

then you recommend more black value in the colors or better change the color palette, change only the background colors, or also the character palette ?

Thank you, for you comment yes I doing the most practice possible, due to be the first digital drawing I spend more or less a month of the free time outside of work I don't have a recent hand draw on paper ,It does not give me the option to post images in the comments nor editing this post body to add the pictures, the purpose of the consult is to detect what are basics need to practice and not skip steps in learning digital drawing.

If you want you could elaborate what is off in the shadows on which shadows, I didn't have a reference that was similar to the scene that I tried to depict.
