@Asyas_illos really nice lines in this one! I like how the wolf and tree contrast but have the same lines and movement. Really nice.

But why not really lean into the curving lines? The horizontal lines of the horizon and tree branch are breaking up that circular movement, interrupting the flow. There are also a lot of lines leading off the left side of the page and nothing to bring the eye back in.

Hope you don't mind -- I did a drawover to demonstrate just one way you could adjust the composition by leaning into the curving lines. I added more color, too, as it helps me put all the pieces together in a composition. Not sure if this is even the palette you're going for ... is she going to be Little Blue Riding Hood? That could be a cool spin on the tale!

Anyway, hope this helps.

@Melissa_Bailey haha no they won’t be blue just like it to sketch out characters and work around compositional elements. Thanks I do like draw overs it’s helps me to see from others pov and and think of things I may not have seen otherwise. I like all the curves but I’m still unsure if I want to use a background in this one I don’t have many spot illustrations for my portfolio. That being said maybe I could both… just keep the background on a separate layer. Thanks Melissa!

@Asyas_illos you're so welcome! I think it could be really nice without a background, or maybe an out-of-focus, painterly background. That will keep the focus on the contrasting characters.
