Study and first render

This was my first time rendering/digital painting (?) and I think I did pretty okay for my first try. It definitely looks better from afar though but I would love any criticism or advice! It’s difficult but I’d like to learn :))
For more info, I put my line art with my base layer then added colour and used a smudge tool to blend things in. I also coloured dropped from my reference Nov 25, 2021
