Welcome to the Art Studio!
These look pretty good to me, and I'm pretty much a beginner myself so I can't offer much in the way of advice. All I can see for things to improve is that there's some clipping going on, especially with the hair in the second picture, though I had to be looking for it to notice it.
Welcome to the art studio! Looks like you are off to a good start!
It might be interesting in the first one, to put the sun shining between the trees a bit more behind her head to really draw the eye to the character, this will have the added bonus of acting like a rim light around her hair and body as well.
On the second one, I would put the hand that closest to the end of the handle on the other side of the other hand. If you pretend you are holding that axe handle and put your hands and arms in that position, its very uncomfortable (and yes, I did, fortunately, my husband is used to me trying out the occasional pose and no longer makes smart alecky comments lol)
You've certainly got the hang of posing! Welcome to the forum.
I really like the energy in the scenes, and her determination. Her expression in the first one is very confident and challenging.
I like the background too. I would, however, change the first render with the ultra-dark ground shadow and boot. There's no separation between the two, it becomes a dark, undefined area. In Tone Mapping in the Render Pane, do the Crush Blacks down to .11 or so, and bring up the Burn Highlights to at least .25 and see what that does. The shadows are so dark that the boot doesn't stand out. I know the forums also have a tendency to darken images, and you didn't enlarge these so it's really hard to tell without seeing a bigger version.
Hello and welcome to the Art Forum!!
I think you need to post bigger images first off because it is so much better to be able to see the image inlarged to give proper advice on a render.
I do think you are off to a good start though with your posing but as sonja said it would be better in the first one to use a kinda rim light to highlight your character some more.
@OpticalGun - Great start and welcome! I really can't add anything to what the others said. Keep going!
Thank you all for the comments.
Novica - thank you for the tip, very helpful.
