As was said above, you can improve your artwork tremendously by improving composition and lighting alone.
If you can afford it, I cannot recommend enough these two workshops :
- Becoming a better artist with Robert Chang
http://beta.workshops.cgsociety.org/courseinfo.php?id=40
A crash course in all aspects of visual creation, from how to set up your tablet to composition, lighting, color and texture. If you can stand the heat and the difficult quetions this course will bring, the payoff will be priceless.
- Face and Figue Painting with Don Seegmiller
http://beta.workshops.cgsociety.org/instructor.php?userid=589
A great, practical introduction to digital painting. I noticed you have portraits in your gallery - this is a great course to get started with a good method with huge improvements if you can put in the time and practice. Don is not giving this workshop at the moment, so keep an eye out for it.
In both workshops, the techniques are surprisingly simple. I learned that most roadblocks come from not practicing enough and lacking general instructions on your own to work more efficiently. The workshops take care of the instructions - the time and practice are up to you.
