Progress from 2014

@Lee-White You are so right! I was focusing so much on improving the execution that I completely forgot the first principle you guys are always focusing on " STORY!" At least is was still very rough, so not hard to change!
I reworked it this morning. Since my little explorer is wearing an aviator hat I decided to push this aspect, give him a plane and make him think he is flying!
I included long grass in the foreground, I am not sure if it works, but I want the viewer to know that the post he is on is not high, he is just imagining that his head is in the clouds.
Thanks again for the comment!

This newest one is SO CUTE!! The new pose and the lighting give it so much atmosphere and personality!

Adorable!
Such a clear story now. Love the colours you have in the sky, too. -
Here is where I am now! I was really encouraged by @Lee-White #nailedit so I decided to push this piece further and maybe try to get a portfolio piece out of it. I decided to change the square format because it felt a little awkward. Also, I looked at Lee's website and noticed that he has NO square images. So I decided there is probably a good reason behind this and changed the format to a "landscape" format (if anyone has an opinion about square images, I would love to hear it!)
I will continue to share updates
Any critique is welcomed!

In this particular case, I think the landscape helps a lot. Square images are fun design challenges, but this definitely looks good as a landscape!
Love, love where this image is going! -
So fun to see the improvement! I've been wanting to come back to an old piece and rework it in order to see the comparison, because I always love to see the comparison. Someday...

Another update!
Any tips on how I can improve it ?! Did I went overboard with the grass ?!
Thanks!
-
@MissMarck Thank you so much!!
-
@Sarah-LuAnn I have a few that I would like to rework, let see if I have the courage to do so!

Hi @NoWayMe - absolutely love the latest update! The warmth from the colour palette is brilliant and the modified pose definitely makes the illustration more dynamic! It really makes me believe the character is a dreamer with big ambitions!
Just a small thought – to my eye the gap in his teeth doesn't look quite right? It looks very slightly too big for 1 tooth and slightly too small for 2 teeth?
I really like the grass as you have it now, and really really like the sky... definite positive comparison with Pascal Campion (also one of my absolute favourites too)
Good Work!

@JamesH Thanks James! You're right for the gap between the teeth! Now it's bugging me too, I'll definitely fix it!
