Good character

The colours are really nice, but as you've pointed out yourself, this needs a lot more practise. I suggest you try using different brushes and brush-settings for creating texture and to check out some tutorials. There are some really helpful ones over at deviantArt and these guys can explain things much better than I do. ;) But you definitively have potential. Practise and enlargen your horizon, art-wise, and you'll be a good artist.
