      @Naroth-Kean Nice addition! I think I'll draw a whale one of these days too.

          Ooh! i love the addition of the whale! I like the subdued lighting better though. Maybe it just needs to be warmed up a bit in the update?

            I think this is REALLY interesting. Such a fascinating concept. I don't see a whale...I see a shark and it scares me to death. Any time I see that silhouette in water I start hearing the theme song from Jaws (have you seen this movie?). Even though it scares me, I'm super intrigued by your idea. I went back and forth between the colors and I think there is something appealing about the greens in the first one, and I really like your window in the second. Now that I look again, I think maybe the warm light from the lamp gave off some of those warmer tones. This is a nice image and really, I like both!

              @Lynn-Larson Thanks Lynn, the subdued lighting is much more relaxing and calm. I'll try to tone down the murkiness and give it more reflective surface 🙂
              @Carrie Hi Carrie, I love it haha. It was my intention to make the shadow be any water creature that someone could think of. My friends said it looked like a giant Koi, Shinji thought it was a whale, and shark for you which I love to hear. I'll try to bring back some green to the water. Thank you!

                Looks lovely! Such an enchanting picture. I really liked the darkness of the first as that made it quite mysterious, but I love the introduction of your giant fish! Happy experimenting!

                  I was just thinking that she looks sad in the first picture and it's like she's fishing for a friend. It would make a lovely story where the whale could take her on amazing adventures!

                    @jacs Thank you! I'm glad you find it enchanting 🙂 This piece is one of my favorite, and it is actually one of my dreams when I was young. I was sad in the dream that I could not catch any fish in my flooded room haha. I like the idea of going on amazing adventures with that big fish!

                      This is really pretty! I like all the colors you've done, though I agree that bringing back some green into the water would be nice.

                      My eyes are a bit confused on you new light source though. In the first you have a lamp, but in the next two there isn't and the lighting is brighter. Is there a candle that I'm missing or is it all from the moon? Sorry if this is an obvious thing! 🙂

                        @bharris thank you! I notice the direction of the light does not make sense as well so I removed the moon in emitted piece (have not posted), and put it in the water reflection. I really like the candles idea you have bought up! Maybe a hanging light bulb from the ceiling or something. Thanks again!

                          This small town piece I did couple months back and got all kind of issue. Finally fixed it I think haha. Drawing building has always been my main struggle.

                            Wow! That is really amazing improvement. I love your tiny details...the cat, balloons with bicycle, the little flowers in the window. Great job!

                                @Carrie Thank you! I used to be worried about adding detail but lately I feel much better about it.
                                @Lynn-Larson Thanks Lynn, the previous one is so chaotic haha.
