so overlapping works sometimes, but in this instance i think it makes your piece feel crowded, so i moved him over.
i like platinum blonde be a colder palatte than you have. simply desaturating the darker colors is what i did in the picture, but you can add bluish tones sometimes too. i knew one person added silver in their platinum blonde.
also, he does not look like an elemental to me at all. he looks way too human, for a water/air person i'd expect pale cold skin, but he looks peachy and flushed. even after that i feel like he might need more elemental in him. tattoos maybe? random strands of string? i dunno.
looks like a kid, anatomy is good, other than the ears which are not aligned on his head. matches the portrait pretty well.
usually when people lift their face up and stare straight ahead they lower their eyelids, i didn't do it on the picture because it looks ok the way it is, but it's something to keep in mind.
looks great so far though.
