Critique request: girl and horseshoe crab
-
@jenn this is looking really good Jenn! Looking forward to seeing the final!
-
@tom-barrett thank you
-
I worked on the painting today. I plan to add colored pencil details after it dries.
-
I am close to finished now. Thank you to rabbits @kayleenartlover @Dima-Eichhorn @H-Moon @Nyrryl-Cadiz @Tash @tom-barrett for being my audience and cheerleaders. Your feedback and encouragement truly kept me going back to the drawing board to work toward my goal of completion of a piece that I could submit to a local exhibit. And by the way, if you see a horseshoe crab upside down on a beach, do them a favor and "just flip 'em" so they can return to the ocean. They are beneficial creatures that need our help.

@jenn I love that you did it in watercolor. I love the color and texture ️
-
@jenn it turned out beautiful! The watercolor adds so much to the illustration!
-
@Tash @Nyrryl-Cadiz thank you so much, I was nervous about it because it would take longer than digital (and potential for mistakes) but I agree it was worth the trouble and the mistakes were mostly recoverable. I could always edit if needed, with the original brushwork as a foundation.

@jenn I am very late to this conversation, but I love seeing your iterations! I especially love the inked thee-part sequence of flipping the crab. It could easily be a greeting card. Great work!
-
@jenn Contrast/composition wise this picture is very awesome to me It reads well and have proper focus. Good job!

@skeletortoise and @Yiming-Wu thanks for the positive feedback! And the suggestion about making a greeting card.
