question about lighting
-
@amberwingart I totally I agree that the light is detracting from the image. I have been meaning to take "Painting with Light & Color" I think that will be next on my list of classes to take.

Lovely concept. The Fox is beautifully designed. Perhaps you can simplify by placing groups of trees and than create less light beams? It makes the lightening much easier and the composition more 'readable'. Make some studies on lightening on 2x2,5 size images The smaller the thumbnail is, the better you mind can decide what is working. Good Luck!

@ShereeNorthrup said in question about lighting:
@mattramsey I think my first mistake was that I didn't really plan out my image well. I looked at some references but didn't have a set one to refer to.
I think focusing on this would offer the most bang for your buck. Looking forward to seeing the updates!

Thank you for the ideas and the encouragement @Leontine. I've been thinking about omitting the light beams all together. The little color studies helped a lot.
@mattramsey thank you very much.

It is a lovely concept- I would add to the above comments, if you decide to tackle sunrays again try thinking of them similar to architecture- That is, they should be not quite parallel, because they get wider at the base, but they should all flow the same direction. What I mean is, instead of a vanishing point, try designating on origination point somewhere off- paper, and use that to line up the sunbeams. I hope that makes sense- I'll look forward to seeing the next version

I have been meaning to post this for awhile. I switched to watercolor, as it was easier to achieve the lighting affects that I wanted. Thanks @mattramsey @smceccarelli @amberwingart @Leontine @Tyler-Blake for your suggestions and encouragement.

Beautiful work @ShereeNorthrup! I really like your trees and the fox is so very sweet.

@DanetteDraws thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment.
