The third piece of eight I'm uploading [sixteen total]. Possibly my favorite, too, even if direct profile is an easy view to draw...
Thank you all for the positive response so far! Your comments and critiques are very helpful. As I've written before, the images I scan are not necessarily "final drafts" - it means I'm done enough to want to get some feedback, but I'm still trying to tweak/perfect it. This is a big project for me, combining semi-realism with some sense of personal style, and it would be totally awesome if this would be my big break, lol. So thanks again for helping out!
Oh, heroic mouse, she doesn't want to eat flowers or pinecone seeds... It's you she's eying... :-0
Medium: Prismacolor Liner pens, cheap watercolour paints, Derwent Artists coloured pencils, printer-paper. Over five hours of work.
It's very you, and looks realistic enough to me. I think they're all great. Can't wait to read the story with this. You are trying to get it published right? Hopefully, we'll be able to purchase it. Might have to get one for Weston.
Background is still fighting a lot with foreground. If you're combining pencils with watercolor, I might suggest keeping the background watercolor-only as they tend to be less saturated by nature. As it is, the placement of the pinecone and the mouse confuses the hell out of me: like, is the pinecone on the mouse's back? Is it behind the mouse? Is it coming OUT OF the mouse's back??? I'm guessing the former, since I just now noticed that the mouse's tail is around the sunflower stalk, which again, isn't clear from the get go because the sunflower seems so flat, it's hard to process that there's actually some depth and overlap. Consider also that everything has the same line weight, another reason the figures don't stand out from what's around them. Natrually, animals were made to camoflague with their surroundings, but come on.
Fox looks good, though her right paw doesn't look too convincing; aren't fox ears also bigger? Mouse's head looks a bit squished. Sunflower looks good though the middle spot looks awkward; the stalk doesn't really even look like it's coming from the flower since the flower's edges are so defined, but the stalk is all fuzzy. Hell, the stalk is fuzzier than the grass and stuff in the background, further messing up my sense of depth. Rock in foreground looks superflat too.
