        Sorry i'm a little late but I also like the first one like you, it's definitely much better now that you've added the eyelids but i preferred it when the male seagulls' head was slightly to the side so you could see both eyes, you can give him eyebrows then to add to his smitten expression - like one up and one down eyebrow if you know what i mean? The female's face is brilliant 🙂

          @hannahmccaffery Thank you, I was focusing so much on the expression, I missed the second eye. Great idea with the eyebrows, I will give that a try!

              @inkandspatter Yay! Great job! It's looking so good! I love what you did with the male bird. I think you made some really strong changes 🙂

                @inkandspatter Looking good! The male bird's expression turned out great. The lower left and upper right bands on the life ring look a little off center to me. Might want to fix that if it wasn't intentional.

                    Here are my values for this composition. I don't have much experience with value studies, but I'm really hoping to improve my painting and colour skills, so I figure creating values studies before painting is probably a good habit to get into.

                        As I said before, I struggle with colour. So here are some colour studies I did for this comp, any feedback or advice is appreciated! ☺

                        ***The blue sky on number 2 should not be so vibrant - Procreate really sucks for exporting certain colours inaccuratley.

                          @inkandspatter 2 has more colour contrast with the orange so I like that one the best! But perhaps the 3rd green hill in number 2 if that may work.

                            @inkandspatter I agree with @Heather-Boyd I like 2. It stood out right away to me.

                              @inkandspatter same as the other two here above :face_with_stuck-out_tongue: but I like the chemical waste dripping out in picture four alot as well. Maybe add some shadings underneath the rubble too to make it more 3D-ish?
