I really like it!

Before I throw some thoughts out there, Is this cropped from a larger image?

@adrian-k wow for your first time doing it, its pretty amazing! It took me years to get anywhere with digital art and still learning.

Updated for clarity. no not croped, I did a few thumb nails and determined if I wanted to maintain any detail on the mouse it needed to be a closer more intamit view. Although in my original thumbnail I did draw the entire fox for correct proportion

Cool! I would do a draw-over but I'm away from my tablet...

I would either remove the fox's tail entirely, or give it more of a presence in the picture. A dark, close up for a tail right up against the viewer in the foreground might be neat. However where it is right now it takes a few moments to decode (at least for me).

I would try and identify and remove any tangents in the piece (where the mouse's tail brushes against the fox's, and where the mouse's left paw intersects with the background).

Overall a really neat piece, though! I like it

@art-of-b thank you, I can see what you’re saying, I’ll make the corrections

Lovely the animals are beautifully painted

[Adrian K]

Alright, so here are the revisions. I think it reads a bit better now. I'm open to any other thoughts.

@adrian-k Stunning image. It feels like an oil painting to me. Love your textures. It's a great piece already, but if you want heighten the drama and focus, I'd darken the fox a bit which will let further enhance the spotlight on the mouse. Right now, everything-- the mouse, flower and fox-- is getting my attention.

@adrian-k This is your first work? This is unbelievable! Very amazing! My first work was nothing better than garbage (hehe) keep up the good work.

Thank you. I did take about 2 weeks to just play with brushes and familiarize myself with the program. It probably shows that my approach is very traditional, and it’s not like I’ve never picked up a paint brush before

Though I hate loosing detail (that’s where I usually lose my self) here’s the revision pulling the fox back into the shadows more.
