      @Aleksey After looking at your drawing again I realized that you don't have any soft edges, so they may look strange to add. Instead maybe you could shift all of the green hues on the frog and title toward blue so they would look like they were picking up colour and light from the pond. Here is a rough example of what I mean...(I added some blue to the surrounding grass too)

          @inkandspatter ok I think I figured it out, what do you think of this? You all were right there was a lot of yellow in various parts of it not just the plants and frog.

                      @Aleksey I know what You mean, I am bad with color also, I love my sketches, but I am afraid of starting to put the color on it...I am still at the sketch phase with my cover...
                      me too, have to watch the new version of the color and light class.
                      But now, be happy, You have finished this great piece...congrats.

                              @Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen oh thank you! You have no idea how much i hate drawing ripples after this! Although I must admit I got better at it after this.
