Creature painting practice

Going along with the theme of monsters, I've decided to have a go at improving my painting skills after looking up some more tutorials. This is no final character since its just a painting that I mainly want to improve on painting realistically. I've lost count on how long this one took me as my main intention of this was to have a block out done really quick and painting things with reduced outlines which for me takes away the shadows. Still needs practice but I'm really happy with how this turned out!! :D
