Going to Mine [2K]

[jakubg1 440]

I don't care about storyline (lack of creativity), I'm learning how to light properly and making wallpapers is my method. Youtube tutorials doesn't help me.

Give constructive criticism. Upvotes and downvotes are appreciated.

The only rig I used here is the character rig, credit to @Chono!.

The torch particles aren't brightened and the scenery and the lighting is bland.

So how can I fix them?

Raise the brightness...

Generally, this is where editing can lend you a hand. You can use paint.net's wand tool, copy and paste the fire particles in a new layer, and use some glow or other effects to make the torchlight glow. Also, by the context of the image alone I can't directly see that your character's about to mine. Perhaps if he was about to enter into a cave it would be more obvious.

Other than that, general criticisms apply. Remember the rule of thirds. Perhaps you could make ambient lighting more bluish-greyish. And the spoopy skeleton seems out of place; you might want to make him stand out a bit more (or maybe not put him behind a birch tree.)

The problem is I don't edit any images and I don't want to because it's hard.

I took your words into my mind and I'll work on that tomorrow. Thanks for feedback

You should really learn how; it's only going to help. I even edited your image to show you what I could do with 5 minutes of my time in class:
