It's not so much that it's overdone. I kind of like the deep grey of the background, but none of the shapes make any sense. That upper chest also seems a bit bright, but overall they're anatomical mistakes. They're also very very bad ones, which is why you perceive it as overdone. The upside to this is that if you can't recognize any of this, you could see a really big improvement with slightly more knowledge.
A book would be ideal especially if you can find a good anatomy for artists book in the library. You can try something like 3d.sk, which is used for video game references. You can also google for anatomical illustrations. I would probably start with the face and neck.Comment

Hey everyone! long time lurker on these forums, I've been studying ever since discovering Godmother's Dodge and Burn years ago.

This time around I feel like I'm bouncing around between multiple...01-16-2016, 06:51 PM

I'm just looking for some feedback on an image I repaired for one of my Graphic Design classes. How did I do? Is the quality up to par with what a pro would do?
I have also added links to larger versions of these images:
