Worked on silhouettes at my grandmother's/ aunts house after my grandmother's funeral. I penciled on paper -trees, people moving and birds. Then inspired by a painting of a fox in the house -it help me put the shapes of a dog together. I sketched it and then redrew it better in Digital -WIP. It's a tad of the light side.

@Heather-Boyd I'm sorry for your loss. It's neat that you found an opportunity for a little study during those circumstances and perhaps find a release. I really like the shapes of the dog and bird, too.

@Aleksey Do you mean Ivan Ho?
-
@Heather-Boyd maybe? Im not familiar with the surname, theres so many ivans in russian fairytales.
-
@Aleksey Sorry I guess not. Sir Walter Scott wrote a Scottish novel of an Ivanhoe.
-
@Heather-Boyd ah no this is based off of ivan the fool. And various other slavik folk tales.

@Aleksey I agree gives him a more confident if not a tad overconfident personality/look with the pointed jaw and nose. I don't know anything about the character however.
-
@Heather-Boyd yeah i agree. Im kinda making it up. In the old stories hes the protagonist, im kinda making him an antihero because of how self centered he is. My own little adaptation.
-
@Aleksey I also like the pointier jaw. The round jaw gives him more of a lazy look than an arrogant look but the pointier jaw communicates his personality well.
-
@demotlj yeah totes. I’m gonna redo it (again) until it looks right to me. This is gonna be very fun.

Please feel free to go bananas on your critique
( saw discussion on safe words in forum earlier

I have been trying to challenge myself with different camera angles as well using a limited colour palette- still trying to get better at digital too. Have revisited a Hansel and Gretel book cover I worked on in turbocharging your creativity class many moons ago - concept of ‘its a trap’ - but I changed the whole composition. Keywords; ominous,scary. -
@Buddy-Skelton amazing, man. Love these birds, and your 2019 rendition does a great job of capturing their beautiful lines.

@burvantill I think it turned out awesome. Great job at getting all those objects in there and composed so well. There are so many retro late 70s references here--love exploring your illustration. Your Photoshop tweak helped to focus our eye more on the girl, but you didn't overdo it.
