I use Clip Studio too (cause I can't afford PS, lol). To change canvas size go to "Edit" > "Change Canvas Size..."
I noticed cause brush work is different in PS for some reason. If you want, I have a free pack of brushes for Clip Studio that work pretty well.
For radial shading to be more noticeable try to add more contrast.
Blocking and values look better on this one! And the shape of the head as well. The only thing - maybe blend a little bit more light values on the cheek with the darker ones of the cheekbone.
Oh, and the other thing - don't forget about the eyeball, it's not just white all over. It's the first thing I noticed.
In real life, reflections apply to the same side of the eyes. https://www.shutterstock.com/video/clip-5863247-closeup-on-both-eyes
Ahhh thank you for the mockup. The snake looks so cute. It’s much better rendered than what I did. I really need to step up my game especially with its edges.
This was my reference for the cobra https://pixabay.com/photos/snake-cobra-reptile-animal-5515691/
I didn’t even realize it has that thrill. I didn’t even know those were called thrills. I’m thrilled to have found out.
If you have any recommendations for youtubers or resources for creatures, I would appreciate it. Feel free to ignore this request :0
Bad reference. You can't even call it a portrait study. I mean you're copying a movie poster, that's all.
Part of learning is knowing how to learn and not sabotaging yourself. If you want good reference for the portrait study, you should collect a few images, grey scale them all and borrow a face feature from each to reference. Then determine your light source and paint according to that, and not the light source in reference images.
Pinterest is a good site to find lots of references. unsplash.com as well.
