First Digital Illustration. Any constructive criticism to help me improve?

Lineart, anatomy, shapes, composition and style look great! But where I feel you could improve is the lighting and color scheme.

The lighting seems unbalanced in some parts and there's a lack of sharpness in the ambient light coming from below.

The color scheme and shading for the buildings below look great but Spidey's shading is the part I feel sadly ruins the scheme. The main issue is that the yellow-ish lights aren't blended into the red and blue (which are heavily opposing colors to the yellow-ish light color), so it ends up looking like the like isn't light at all, but some light yellowish stains on his outfit. You can fix this by looking through the blend modes on the lighting layer and seeing which looks best! Fiddle around with opacity too!

Awesome first try. The lighting needs a little more work because his feet/legs seem to fade away into the building. I hope to see more of your work in the future.
