Pillowy stuff is pretty common, and it can be really hard for some artists to overcome, yeah. I find it hard to judge these works just because of the gradients applied to them. I know first hand how much of a difference that can make, for better or for worse, and most of the colors we're shown are good at fudging the details. It's interesting to see your progress, though. Your strength certainly looks like it's going to be hair, a lot like me lolol, but you at least are developing skill with fine details that make them work. I would like to see some of these with the greyscale to compare and contrast.
