Really like the second hedgehog. That's my fave.

Really cute hedgehogs! I saw a hedgehog in real life for the first time not too long ago. Cute little buggers.

I have no idea how Sonic the hedgehog is a hedgehog.

[Leontine]

@shinjifujioka me neither. thanks for the kind words.

[Thrace]

I love your picture, your hedgehog is adorable!!! I am looking forward to seeing it painted!!

[Rich Green]

Very cute! Looking forward to seeing this in color next!

[Dulcie]

@Leontine I will try and draw some hedgehogs soon then gotta finish my Poe but hopefully after that I can return to the cute side...

[Steve Young]

A great little concept!

[Leontine]

Here's the colored version of my hedgehog. Shall I leave the moon out? how about these falling leaves, are they distracting? suggestions are welcome! thanks!

Hi, Leontine!
You captured the mood of a forest in a fall night pretty well! I would let the moon in. Especially, because you managed the two light sources niceley.
About the falling leaves, they bring a lot of fall atmosphere. I would change a bit their movement, though. You might try to make them look more naturally falling. You might also add some more leaves which reached already the ground.
Something like this:
Very cute peace overall.

Very cute
But it seems a bit dark to me, just tiny bit. Especially compared to the moon. I feel it might be stealing attention from the hedgehog.

Concerning the leaves... they fee a bitl weird an unnatural or artificial to me. They fall straight down, I dont think leaves fall this way. It is just a gut feeling.. They blend a bit with the background since they have exact same pattern as branches on the background trees. Light might be also a bit off since they are quite close to the lantern, but quite dark.

EDIT: my contrast on was too low and it was way darker than it really is, sorrry

It's looking lovely. I'd just be a bit more conscious of the texture throughout. If you look near the moon, there's a ton of texture, whereas the grass just looks like an airbrush gradient. I'm liking the composition. I think the leaves could maybe do to be a bit smaller, but the character design is lovely.

EDIT: Also the hedgehog... The spikes are amazingly textured and then the body looks a bit digital to me.

Hope this helps.

Lovely image! I would take the leaves out you don't need them and I would remove some of the texture around the moon. I love your characters, adorable!!

My feeling is that the mood of fall would get a bit lost without the falling leaves. You might add then some fall related structure on the ground or more fall related colors, like with the acorn.

[Leontine]

adjusted version...more leaves on the soil?

[Leontine]

@Jana danke schön Jana, soll ich weitere Blätter hinzufügen?

[Leontine]

@Jiří-Kůs thank you, I ve worked on the piece a bit. How about now?

[Leontine]

@Ace-Connell Hi Ace, worked on it a bit, what do you think?
