Illustration feedback

[DarleneAnico]

@peteolczyk That's a good idea. I'll look into editorials. Thank you

[DarleneAnico]

@TessaW Hmm yeah I see. I'll take those into consideration as I rework the thumbnails. I really appreciate your feedback thank you

[Zachary Drenski]

I'm looking forward to seeing where you take this illustration. It's totally fine to make a painting that looks mysterious or surreal, and there are people out there who love that kind of stuff, like me.

I guess it comes down to deciding what the illustration is going to be used for. I'm assuming that children's book editors want to see portfolio pieces where the story is more direct.

So this is where I'm at with the image. I had to stop from this piece in order to finish some other ones. I've added a big fish And the fish on the TV screens are now more visible which I believe helps with the composition.

Critiques are welcome as I want to make this a print for an upcoming artshow.

@DarleneAnico just doing a quick read on this and using the strategy by @davidhohn of squinting it down, I noticed your values are really mixing. Once you squint the person merges into the background.

You might want to lighten the background or darken the person? Not 100% sure. But I am losing the person...

[DarleneAnico]

@theprairiefox hm ok I see what you mean im going to darken the person. Thank you!

[DarleneAnico]

I’ve finished the illustration. I’m going to step away from it now and look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow.

Feedback is welcome

@DarleneAnico it is much improved and the colours are very on point for the mood of a calm and imaginative moment.
