Do you have an image I can critique?

[Tyson Ranes]

@mag Awesome thank you! I have CS3 Photoshop and a Wacom tablet just got them up and working so I only have 2 rendered Photoshop pieces one is on this post "Pickles the Pig" (Pig in an apron in his workshop doorway) and the other is another Post I did on here unfinished > http://forum.svslearn.com/topic/3015/raven-his-writing-desk-work-in-progress

I want to get a new Photoshop but (this might sound ridiculous) but I dont understand which one is the normal one to purchase they seem to have this monthly subscription purchase thing??????? What is that? am not familiar with the brushes in Photoshop and once I get the updated version Im on it! Im in a big discovery phase right now and am chomping at the bit like a horse on crack cocaine except Im a dad on coffee. With my work I don't like messy (which i do messy), thats one of the many elements that appeals to with your style and thats one of the things I need more comprehension and work in. Thank you for the reply! What Photoshop do you use? Is it pay monthly?

Hey guys,

I just finished recording the first set of crits for my channel - thank you and I'll be coming back here for my next round! I'll probably post the video early next week! Thank you!

[Leontine]

Oww, thats so cool Will! I would like to ad an new illustration I've made its for a book for children with a autoimmune disease. The story is about a boy and a girl who learn to get to know each other as they have to stay in the hospital for a wile.

@lmrush Thank you so much. I love your style too! You capture young innocence perfectly!

[Perrij]

Oh no! I hope I'm not too late. I would just love it if you'd consider either of these? (And credit would just be great, thank you so much my website is n0ireclipse.myportfolio.com Edit: oops. And my name is Jessica Perri. )
The first image is surrounding the theme of "victory" in which the king of the land has finally gained dominance over the dragons and his knights are celebrating with him.

The second is more of an exciting piece in which a girl went out into the sea during a bad storm and her friend goes out to retrieve her.

@Perrij you're not late - I'm going to keep pulling from this thread for months - I finished the first video but there will be more in the future! Thank you!

How Awesome! What a great idea! I've been dying for some feedback! Would love to hear your critiques!

This is from the one of the 3rd Thursday (I think the last one where we submitted works), This is Thomas the Space Fireman saving an alien cat from an asteroid:

You can also pull from my Design 100 Space Explorers thread if you want: http://forum.svslearn.com/topic/2722/design-100-space-explorers

I'm so looking forward to these! I always get so much out of watching the critique SVS videos no matter whose work we are looking at

The concept behind this piece is just a quirky coffee truck serving coffee.
I wonder if the scene would do better in a city setting showing building behind.
(Also, I realize the white cat blends in with the snow in the background.)

This is a 4 years progress, time in which I watched every tutorial that I could find or afford. Will Terry's influence is obvious.
At this time I feel like this is the strongest piece in my portfolio so it will be a bit heart breaking to see the holes in it but also very very helpful. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hey guys - here's the first critique video - more to come! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmx2GgV7x1c&t=671s

@will-terry-art Thank you for the crit Will!

All excellent points and you didn't even make me cry! In all seriousness: that was a pretty obvious mistake regarding how I had the floor drawn. I also appreciate that tip on how it is a good idea to draws rooms with at least 2 walls showing in order to create more interesting pieces.
I think I was too nervous to put the person in 3/4 view at the time I painted it (didn't think I could pull it off) but I 100% should have done so.

Thanks again!

[Lucy Smith]

I really enjoyed watching your critiques Will, thank you.

[Tyson Ranes]

@will-terry-art This piece was just a sketch that took on a life of its own came out very dark. Thank you! Love SVS. "Raven at His Writting Desk"

gulp Here we go - huge preview of a piece that will actually only be printed at 10cm high.

It is a tarot card, Ten of Pentacles, within a space theme. The card traditionally is a patriarch looking at his achievements and family, celebrating his accomplishments, family, and financial wealth, while dogs play in the foreground.

I started painting in PSD a year ago, still have the luxury of having my money come from design work, so I am slowly shifting to illustration.

[Eric Castleman]

Thanks for the critique! everything you said really helped me out!

Hi Will, would love to hear what you think.

"Monolith" - Ben Migliore www.benmigliore.com
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/benmigliore/

Tools: Pen, Marker, Color Pencil, Pencils for planning out proportions.

The concept: "A future explorer landed on an alien planet to find mysterious monuments engraved with alien constellations."
This is part of an illustrations series I'm doing called Space Age
Artist notes: (Just extra thoughts)

• So one problem I found was the white line in the sky was supposed to be a small ring to show this was an alien planet. It didn't turn out like I thought so In the future I can do something different

• I wanted to try to have the light from the sky bounce onto the objects which I think went well, but would like to see a professional opinion on my colors and values.

• Because of the astronauts helmet I thought to have the hill rise up to show he was looking towards the monument. I don't know if it succeeded, but I tried.

Thanks for consideration. If you choose this I'm excited to see any professional advice you could give. Thanks again.

Here's my illustration.
I've done this one for my portfolio, to show consistency of work in a series of images from the same story, with same characters etc...
Mr and Mrs Mouse are working in their garden when Cat appears. This is when Mrs Mouse sees the cat, runs back inside and warns Mr Mouse

Here is the first image I did (to compare consistency), which is actually the last image of the story, when Mr and Mrs Mouse prevailed against Cat and can safely enjoy a cup of tea:

I'm ok being credited

Just saw the first critique session on YouTube. Love this so much, a MASSIVE help already.

Here are a few.

Concept: For a kids book about a dinosaur who has to travel through NYC to get back to the Natural History Museum.

Concept: Another kids book. In this one the main character has just got disconnected from his ship and can't get back.

Concept: One of the last spreads on a kids book project. The opposing team scores in the last seconds again a team of T-Rex's.
