Children's Illustration-08 assignment with pig. Please critique :-0

[MOO]

Taking the advice of No Way Me and revisiting my unfinished homework assignments. I decided to make it a watercolor assignment too (just in case I don't get my other one done for the 30 day challenge- going to do a monster later )

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen Love them, I think they are fabulous! Fun poses

@Charlie-Eve-Ryan Thank you! They are from the stick men in the lesson . I should probably post those too so people know what I'm talking about!

@aska Thank you, Aska!

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen Great idea for poses - hadn't seen that yet and definitely makes it a universal technique for many a critter! Love how your pig turned out!

Fun pictures! I would say the subtle shadows underneath also add some nice dimension to the pigs. Keep it up!

@Tyler-Hallstrom Thanks, Tyler!

your pig flowing in the air ?

Love these!!! I haven't done this as a homework assignment, but a few months ago I did a bunch of little piggies in different poses, too. They are just naturally so cute.

Oh, good idea, finishing the homework assignments. I think completing the exercises is so important if you want to retain more information from the course.

I think your did a great job! The pig is very cute. One critique I have is that I think the gesture of the bottom left pig would be better if it's head was thrown back, like the middle ones, except in side view.

And like @linhb pointed out, is the pig supposed to be above the ground plane? I think if your intention was to have the pig hovering in the air like it's leaping and dancing, you were very successful. If you wanted some of the poses to have at least one foot on the ground, the shadow needs to connect to whatever is touching the floor. The only one that does this is bottom center.

Let's see more completed homework assignments! I think it would be helpful to do another one of these gesture sheets with a different character that has a different shape.

@TessW Thanks. Good points.

@linhb I guess so! I should have made contact withthe feet and the shadow.
