Feedback Wanted on Illustration
-
@Craig-Imrie thank you for the feedback. I am going to work on making things not look so flat. Also, the eyes, yes they def need work. I really struggle with those.
@Phil-Cullen thank you for the tip on the eyes. Eyes are a definite weakness for me. I am going to try the technique that you described.
@Jon-Anderson I'm going to have to do a bit of searching to learn how to do the warmer light. I was concerned with veering off my color palette and making things look awful. I appreciate your encouraging words and feedback.
Thanks again, everyone! I am going to get busy working on this and hopefully I will have a second draft to show soon.

@alicia-spilde The nice thing about working digitally is that you can make a new layer on top, try the new idea, and then scrap it if you don't like it without destroying the progress you have (just make sure its on a new layer by itself). The white as you have it is fine I was just merely suggesting something else to try. There are a few SVS classes that touch on the subject or you can search for different lighting videos on YouTube that specifically use Procreate and try the methods that feel most comfortable. Once you grasp the concept (it seems complicated but it really is simple) you'll have a fancy new trick up your sleeve.

@jon-anderson Thank you! I really appreciate the help and encouragement.

@Chip-Valecek, @Craig-Imrie, @Jon-Anderson, @Phil-Cullen - I worked on this today. :). Just wanted to show you what I accomplished with the feedback. With this second draft, is there anything glaring that should be improved? Thank you!
-
@alicia-spilde curious character. I love the pointy hat. I'd check your shadows though. Stand a fat marker up on your desk or a piece of fruit. And shine a torch at it, in the direction of where you want the light to come from. My guess is the big shadow is about 10 o' clock from where you have put your light and shadows.
-
@alicia-spilde I think the shadow on the ground seems a little too dark for the lighting you have. Other than that I think it looks good.
-
@jon-anderson ok thanks!
-
@sigross thanks, I'll do some experimentation with the shadow. Appreciate the help!
-
@alicia-spilde looking good, I do agree with @sigross that the shadow on the ground should be pointing more toward 10 o'clock vs 9ish.
-
@sigross and @Chip-Valecek I changed the shadow. This does look better. Thank you!
-
@alicia-spilde spot on. Good stuff.
-
@alicia-spilde perfect! I also like how you softened it up.

Looks awesome

I’m back with another illustration that I’d like feedback on. I learned so much with the feedback last time, so thank you for that!
When you look at this illustration, what would you tweak? My inspiration was a children’s holiday program, where one little girl steals the show and knocks over a classmate in the process.
