WIP magazine cover, critiques requested ;) - final updated July 29

[idid]

Hi again everyone, I really appreciate all your critiques/suggestions! I have finalized the cover illustration and attached it here (it is a bit tilted and logo/texts on the cover will compensate for that). The editor also prefers a really whiter background so I changed the level of background digitally.

I learned a lot from this experience, and .... also realized there's so much to improve in my illustration as color palette, way of rendering, etc. .... so more critiques are definitely needed in the future

Thank you again!

Completely late to this party but this is a fantastic thread. I loved seeing the process toward completion. The final is absolutely charming in it's style and I think reads really well.

@Blitz55 Thank you so much! I think I'll never be able to make that far without suggestions from people on this forum.

@idid Beautiful! Did you do paint this piece traditionally.

[idid]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thank you! Yes, I paint it traditionally with watercolor and colored pencil. Digitally changed the background level a little bit.
