      @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.

        After practicing with stylizing things.. finally came up with a character design idea for my webcomic. Based off of Slavic folktales, prince Ivan.

              @Aleksey Sorry I guess not. Sir Walter Scott wrote a Scottish novel of an Ivanhoe.

                    Another ivan design. I think i like the pointier jaw more.

                      @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.

                              Please feel free to go bananas on your critique ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ( saw discussion on safe words in forum earlier๐Ÿคฃ)
                              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 โ€˜its a trapโ€™ - but I changed the whole composition. Keywords; ominous,scary.

                              Any and all feed back welcome.
                              Thanks in advance

                                  Was trying the silhouette method to come up with a character โ€œshapeโ€ and it helped me when i drew it on paper. (Thanks @Braden-Hallett ) messed up the back hand a little but I got a good idea now of how i wanna make this character look.

                                    @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.
