Practice drawing characters

[natiwata]

@Kevin-Longueil thanks! Subtle change but I like it!

Did some more practice with a crowd and fun angle, and putting Will's suggestion of drawing outside the frame to use. He found a gold nugget! Story starter.

[Charlie Eve Ryan]

Great expressions!!

[Jason Kellogg]

Wow! Good stuff.

[Russ Van Dine]

love the angle for the hand. The dogs eye is a little under-done and I thing his paw on the boy would be more dramatic for a dog...great expressions throughout.

@natiwata Really nice image!! I think you should paint this one! If you do however, I would put the dog a little higher so his neck isn't cut where it is... That's the only issue I see with composition! Great characters

[Rob Smith]

Really terrific sketches!

[Camila Barrera Daza]

I love the expression of the boy in the lower corner! Ohhh!

[BradAYoo]

@natiwata This is progressing very well! I like the angle and your choice of having no kids behind the hand/gem. Between that and all the eyes leading it draws the readers attention right to the focus.

@Charlie-Eve-Ryan @Jason-Kellogg @Rob-Smith @Camila-Barrera-Daza @BradAYou Thank you for the comments!

@NoWayMe - Thanks for the feedback, good catch with moving the dog up a bit.

@Russ-Van-Dine - I agree the dog's eye could be more pronounced, I'll add that when I paint it. I had tried his paw on the boy and didn't get it quite right, but perhaps I'll try it again, thanks for the suggestion!

Update!

Super nice work!

[natiwata]

@evilrobot thank you! You think this works better as a vignette?

[Russ Van Dine]

l love it.

[karien]

Thats very cool!

[Nancy Gormezano]

Wow! love it! (I prefer the NOT vignetted version)

[lmrush]

Wow, just great! Thanks for sharing

[Kevin Longueil]

@natiwata Super nice as usual Nat! - really nice composition - i like the non-vingette also - i just wanted to see what it would look like if i saturated parts of the gold and the boy to make him pop more - i think i went a bit too far but i thought maybe the boy should pop a tiny bit more than he does? maybe not - possibly just a few more hard edged lines on him? - something though i think - here is the one i did the quick cut/paste/adjust on -

@natiwata What if you did it like they are coming out of the vignette instead of just erasing borders?

[natiwata]

Thanks @Kevin-Longueil , I will try and warm things up a bit to make that gold stand out more!

@Jin-Kus I like that idea for the vignette, thanks

Lunch break update!
