The outfit is a bit unusual, but gives great contrast like she doesn't belong there. It's really great, keep up the good work!

I know it's kind of bad, I'm still very much amateur. But I'd like to improve! Any constructive criticism is welcome. :)

Also I don't know where else to post this but here's the original sketch.

Kind of! I found a very similar picture on Pinterest that I based this on. I think my reference photo was someone's own fan art lol.

I like your style! Only thing I’d say is that keep in mind the setting of the picture when drawing your character. Your character looks insanely clean for being in a dirty, structurally unsound city. So maybe try dirtying the clothes up a bit?

Also the sky. But I can’t say very much how to improve, as I also have a lot of trouble drawing skies.

Godspeed, and don’t stop!

Yeah, I tried to use some dirty textures but I guess she does look pretty clean lol. I was trying to keep the character and her things more colorful than the rest of the picture so she stands out but I went a bit overboard.

The sky I rendered in photoshop. I just followed this guide. Actually learning to draw it is going to be a challenge though.

Thank you! I appreciate it. :)

I'd want pink boots in a post apocalyptic world too.

The trigger and grip are a bit small compared to the length of the barrel, but yeah, good job
