i'm not saying the image is bad (althought I don't like it), just that it's bad to study from. when you're starting out, try to study from pictures that have a clear separation of values and no colour burn or light bloom effects. something with a clear range of darks to lights, and especially things that are less stylized than this. it doesn't even have to be photography (though I recommend begs should probably study from photos and realism if nothing else), just something less blobby and more meticulously planned out than that
