November 3rd Thursday - Poe sketches
-
@Rich-Green - thanks for pointing that out! Now you mention it, I can totally see you are right. It’s like I drew it slightly from above but the viewer is at ground/tree level. Will fix that
-
Well this is the updated version. I've had enough of working on this now so I'm calling it finished
-
@Dulcie the revisions on the perspective of the house make all the difference. I also like that you now have the tree by the house going out of frame. It feels much better to me that way. I really enjoy this piece so much Dulcie! I am really hoping it gets picked next week!

Re-reading your original post here and how you thought "oh no I'm gonna hate this..it's dark & death related, not children's books, not cute...." and then to see how you took the challenge head on and WON last night is just an awesome testament to the fact that life begins outside your comfort zone!!! Congrats again!!!

Thanks Rich - it is a funny thing that I really didn’t like the brief to start with
I have really appreciated your enthusiasm and that of everyone in this thread, and the helpful pointers. I was thinking, well if I don’t get critiqued at least I feel like I’ve made progress and a lot of that is down to the feedback we give each other in this forum. <gives forum group hug> -
@Dulcie I thought your piece was very deserving of a critique.. Good job. I really liked the old etching feel of the image.
-
@Dulcie Yours was absolutely my favorite! Congratulations on your win!!
-
I updated my piece following @Lee-White's critique a few months back (thanks Lee for the advice!):
-
@Dulcie OH WOW - you just took my favorite piece and took it up another level. I really love the added details in the tree branches - the symbol of the heart and what looks sort of like a spiral eye. Then how you made Poe part of the actual bark of the tree is awesome. And the splash of blood red is really nice. The progression on this piece is just AWESOME!!!
-
@Rich-Green Glad you approve! Thank you for your very generous words and also for your enthusiasm - it is contagious and makes me want to do more!
