finally got all the line work fixed up - now on to rendering and light

@StudioLooong This much more clearly shows the squirrel is in the foreground...nice update. What a fun concept.

@StudioLooong I think you definitely need some more atmospheric perspective. If you greyed out the tree and the girl just a bit more there would be no forced perspective. Also, even though the squirrel is close there would be brighter highlights on it. It's the contrast of the up close object and the lack of contrast in the background which gives the illusion of space and depth.

@chrisaakins thanks, I'm still working on the rendering and lighting I hadn't gotten to the squirrel or the bg yet.

[chrisaakins]

@StudioLooong Well get on it, then! haha. We are all waiting to see your good work!

[StudioLooong]

Calling this one done! I'm not sure if I am completely satisfied with the color on the squirrel's face yet - I might go back in in a day or two and give it another try if it's still bothering me.

The chalk on the tree and the tree's trunk are perfect! I just love everything about this.

@StudioLooong hey this looks great! The concept is much clearer than the initial version. Also love the expressions! I do have 2 suggestions which you can try:

1. As suggested by coreyartus earlier, try desaturating the foreground elements (the squirrel and the bush), maybe to a similar shade.
2. I understand you’ve repositioned the squirrel to the bottom left corner to get the perspective, but the crop looks a little tight. Maybe if you have time you can draw the full squirrel, and show that it’s sitting on a tree branch. So it,l be a close up of the tree bark and branch which will be bordering the left side. Makes sense?

[StudioLooong]

I couldn't leave it alone - I went back in and made the squirrel a bit smaller and mocked in some text so that it can show as a two page spread.

It's gorgeous! I love it.
