So, I've added the colors, and most importantly, direct sunlight! It gives everything a sense of volume with just a few bright, creamy patches of light. I absolutely love this kind of lighting.As for her expression, once I get rid of the dark outlines, I'll refine it a bit more, especially by exagerating the angle of her eyebrow to make her look more annoyed. I agree with Korenav that a barely noticeable smile would work really well here, but at the same time, I want to preserve Loona's rebellious, unfriendly attitude.

Falser statements have never been said. In awe at the speed you add lighting! A stronger blush or flick of the tail might betray some level of enjoyment without breaking the expression?

Hahaha, for some reason I get that feeling too XD Involuntary body language is exactly what a scene like this needs! She says no, but her body seems to disagree. That kind of contradiction is like emotional clothing, teasing our imagination. A blush is probably the best way to show that! And I love your idea about the tail too. I think I could bring it to life with a little motion blur near the tip of her tail. What do you think?

As for the lighting, this technique is called hard-edged lighting. The idea is to imagine a strong light source, usually sunlight, but it can also be fire, a desk lamp, or even moonlight (which is still sunlight lol) To depict it properly, you first need to establish where the light is coming from, for example, through a window. The trickiest part is defining the volume of the object being illuminated. I recommend imagining the object as a low poly 3Dmodel. The more directly one of its surfaces faces the light source, the more illuminated it becomes. When you're dealing with a powerful light source like the sun, those surfaces can get extremely bright. But the exact effect depends on the object and its material, so it's important to study photo references online and observe how light behaves in real life.

Typically motion blur works! I like a faint afterimage, but that’s because I’m learning. Anything but motion lines! Haha
