      @saciia_ thanks a lot!! Haha majestic is the word I was trying to use while describing the mood i was going for, but my dictionary @!?^* 😃

      Yes the character pose is very much in the proces.. think it is key to get it right since it will change the storytelling depending which pose i will use

        @Jonas-Zavacky -Seeing your value study is perfect timing for me... I will be doing color studies fo a few images this week for a workshop assignment. It will be my first time doing them, but I can see by how you’ve layed down values it will be helpful for picking the right tones in the high interest areas. Very nice:-)

            Worked on the comp a bit more... Made the character smaller to sell the idea that he is tiny person heading somewhere unknown. also made the background forest more interesting, but in such a way that it is helping to sell the focal area (at least I am trying to :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: )

              @Jonas-Zavacky I really like this color study. The cooler greens push into the background while the warmer greens pop.

                @Jonas-Zavacky I'm really digging this layout. My eye goes to the white shape against the black opening and the black figure is a close second read. I love how you handled the clumps of foliage in your color rough- the patterning of your lines made it feel detailed while keeping it loose. I can't wait to see how this develops!

                  @AnnaDaviscourt Nice to hear you like it! Thanks! I was originally planning to paint it whole, but I wanna use linework now, bcs I enjoy it far more. So I am curious how it develops too :Dw

                    Some update on the illustration. Made linework and colors with basic rendering which I probably change, bcs it is kinda messy :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: and wanna move to character soon.

                    But anything that bugs you on this? Thaanks 🙂

                        alright, so this is the final picture I guess 🙂 It took me more time then I expected, but I had real fun doing it (at least when I switched to linework 😃 )

                        Thanks for every feedback you gave me ❤

                          @Jonas-Zavacky I like these original colours - they are very moody.

                            @Heather-Boyd Thanks, Heather! Do you mean the ones on the version without the boy? I like them too but for some reason, I found them dirty 😃

                              @Jonas-Zavacky Yes the one without the boy -I understand your point though. I tend to enjoy darker tones -this one felt more like a dewy rainy day and I love your mist/fog.

                                    @Jonas-Zavacky This is beautiful! I am by no means an expert on composition, but the only thing that jumped out at me is that the light (grey) background on the left looks a bit like smoke coming out of the jewel the little boy is holding. I think you can fix this easily by getting rid of the first little "bump' between his shoulder and his hand. Or extending it a bit more to the right of his hand.
                                    I hope this makes sense...
