Dog, Dog, Goose!

@Carrie Not at all! It's so cute! thanks for sharing!

Just wanted to catch you guys up on where I am. Here it is with some color. I'd say I'm about half way through. Saving the goose for last since he's the most important. Feel free to lend your advice, but keep in mind that this is still a WIP.
My plans:

-The terrier is a little too heavy in texture, planning to smooth him out a bit.
-Need to work on all the hands you see.
-Goose needs a paint-over
-Barista need to be more defined.
-etc., etc, etc, lol

Thanks so much to Will Terry for the quick Skype lesson on brushes. I'm really enjoying the results after making those adjustments to my brush shape and adjusting the flow. You helped me break through to see the light! haha! Thank you SO much!

Carrie

This is really fantastic. You should be proud!

Loved the color scheme. I'll be paying attention to the etc., etc, etc. and other improvements.

Beautiful colors so far, can't wait to see more!

I love this!!!

The only critique I can find is that the terrier looks like is about to fall off his chair... It's like he leaning back to try to find his balance or something. I think just fixing the perspective on the chair a little would fix that!

Other than that, great work! I love the color palette.

Would you mind sharing Will Terry's tips ? I struggle with brushes too...

Can't wait to see the final version of this one!

Christina Brown

Thanks everyone! I feel like I'm done. I'm happy with it, and could end here, but if you'd like to give me your thoughts, go right ahead! Thank you again for your encouragement!

Christina Brown

@NoWayMe of course! It finally clicked for me after Will showed me how to change the shape of the brush, and to work in small "dabs" (if you will) gradually building up to the lights. Try fiddling with the shape of your brushes, and you'll see what I'm talking about!

Carrie

I love it!

bharris

I love it too! Only concern I have is the counter color looses the dogs, but of course that makes the goose stand out too.

The horizontal line across the seat of the guy's pants is really distracting to me, it draws my attention much more than I'd like ;-). Other than that, I really like this, nicely done!
