Do you have an image I can critique?

[Kasey Snow]

Cool thread! I'd love a critique, if you need an image for a video please feel free to use this one. My instagram is Rainechaser, probably the best place for people to find me right now.

Concept: Rhys the gryphon has just landed on an unexplored island when suddenly two long shadows appear on the sands before him.

Thanks for doing this. I have just watched the critique you did on youtube and loved it. Your comments are very helpful and I dare to say very appreciated by everybody here.

Concept: this is a portfolio piece. The kids are diving looking for a perfect shell to bring home from holidays.

hi @will-terry-art
This piece is named "Blue Boy"
It's about a baby that was left in an abandoned section of a working industrial plant and raised by rats, mice, and spiders. All the characters raised Blue Boy to fear the outside world and the day light they also taught him to horde scrap and steal from the factory workers while staying hidden. He is very creative, imaginative and inquisitive especially about the world outside in the light. One day the mice bring in a giant egg and lay it next to the furnace where he sleeps it eventually hatches a Blue Bird who becomes Blue Boys new best friend. As the bird matures he begins to go outside and fly in the sun light which then leads Blue Boy to the outside world and soaring in the sun light. I don't currently have a website or social media aside from this forum which you could link to where I post my stuff. "Blue Boy" the name both represents his nature of being blue as in "he has the blues" and also for his transformation led by his best friend the Blue Bird.

Here is mine. It is for a dummy I have been working on. The page will have one 1/3 illustration above this and then this takes up 2/3 bottom of page. In the book a boy finds a polar bear in the woods and takes him home. He hides him in the shed where they are having some sandwiches at the end of the day.The images in the book are pretty bright and a limited palette of blues and browns with highlights of red. Since most of the images are outdoor winter scenes, I did not want to make this overly dark and dreary either, even though it is in the shed at night. Media is watercolor and digital edits. I would love to be credited if you choose this. My website is at www.mirkah.com

Hi Will. Here is a spread for The Wake-Up Mouse, a story about a mouse who uses various methods to awaken the child and to get their day started. This is the final scene. The author stressed the importance of boy and mouse being familiar and comfortable with one another.
Use anything you like.

Hi Will! Thanks so much for this great opportunity!

For this piece I wanted to show a girl who loves space but is also an artist, and on this special night she spots a shooting star. I'm trying to illustrate more interiors because I find them to be very intimidating, and I'm also working on lighting. Thanks again!

@Will-Terry Thank you so much for your critique! Some really helpful and great tips for me to update. I am going to do some updates to the image this weekend.

@sarahelliott489 You're very welcome - thank you for letting me use yours - it's really coming along nicely!

[will-terry-art]

Hey guys, Thank you for all the images - I just finished video #2 and I'll keep pulling from this thread for future videos! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntSIaIkzaTo&t=2449s

This is an almost 50 things painting. I was also trying to work on lighting. It is interpreting the song "Goodnight my Someone" from Music Man as a lullaby. My name is Holley Williamson. I don't have a website but my instagram is https://instagram.com/holleywilliamsonart

Hi, Will. Thanks for all your videos--I love them! I did this acrylic paint/colored pencil vignette in response to Illustration Friday prompt "snail." But it's part of a bigger idea I have for a series of little pictures of cute fairies/pixies doing cute/funny/clever jobs in nature. This one is running a snail shell wash. I would love a link to my website. http://anthemsweet.blogspot.com/

Hello! I'm new here, so I'm sorry if I'm doing everything wrong.
I made this one after I just found you on youtube (thanks for the videos, by the way!) and you were talking about focal points and values and stuff. I'm pretty new to all this, and were unfamiliar with the terms that is now so obviously something I should be thinking about.
It really inspired me to challenge myself, and I decided to make a black and white picture, something that I never really tried out before.
It's inspired by my crazy mom, and my little brothers idea to make the book "Goddammit EvaMärta"(that's her name). I'm hoping this can be the first page in that book, but that's all up to the brother. They live in a messy house full of cats and tea cups and are doing just fine. But mom is often doing things that would make you go "goddammit EvaMärta".
The text says "sometimes the mom sings opera at breakfast"(in swedish) and it's made with watercolor and ink.

I might use this to apply for an illustration job, so a critique would be just awesome. But of course, only if it would be helpful for you in demonstrating some points.
Oh, and if you would choose it, no need to stay anonymous. Here's that link https://emblagranqvist.wordpress.com/

Again, thank you for making all the videos. They're motivating and helpful, they've given me a lot of confidence and a lot to think about, and I can't thank you enough.

Here is one of mine, I would love feedback if you get the chance.
The concept of the piece: this is an image for a story I've written about a mother bear showing her baby bear the world by the seasons. The text for this page is "Gently nodding daffodils." Mama is calming breathing in the flowers while her cub is romping through them in the background. You can credit me by name if you choose this one for critique or keep it anonymus, still working on getting enough work together for a website. Thanks.

Hi Will! Thank you for this chance I hope it’s not too late, so here's my submission.
For this piece I just wanted to practice light and shadow since that topic it’s very intimidating for me; for this piece I wanted to show a girl relaxing in a coffee shop, I wonder if the light suit the afternoon sun I had in mind or maybe it’s too bright? I hope I can get some feedback from you, Thank you!
PD: Sorry for my bad english ^^

Hi Will Terry

I was totally fascinated by your Critique Videos in your channel in Youtube so I wanted to submit my own illustration to consider for critique. This piece is the first spread from my Children book Dumpster Dive Princess.

In this page Milli-girl, his little brother and cat are in their living room feeling bored. Nothing to do inside so they decide to leave outdoors looking for adventure. Thank you for these critique videos. I'm learning from others critiques so much as well.

All the best from Finland

Hi Will,

Loving the critique videos, they are really helpful.

This is my first draw50things I did when your challenge came out. The concept is a little girl reading to all the monsters and toys in her room.

My course that I'm doing for uni lets you do an 'independent project' which is pretty flexible so I chose to do two more 'draw50things'

This concept is a pirate fleet that has just gone on a raid and now they are looking for another place to invade.

This concept is of a space explorer who is returning to a planet that he visited before.

These are all watercolour and ink.

Love what you're doing

@will-terry-art Concept is Little Red Riding Hood, running into the big bad wolf but is largely unaffected. I'm just starting out so I'll be anonymous, please. Just so you know, you and Jake are now the voices in my head when I illustrate. It's awesome! Re-uploaded with color adjustment.
