Garden WIP- Which one?
-
I like A as well... maybe you could 'age' the wall a bit? But that is just a thought. Love the feel of this piece, it's very... happy and natural!
-
I like A better too
-
@TessaW I see what everyone is saying about the openness of A, but I like the feel of B gate not having the gate edges lead the eye out of the picture--could you have the edges of the brick wall more covered by the flowers/foliage?
-
@Sofie-Schollaert Yes, that's a really good idea. This is just a super rough sketch, and I will definitely need to ponder about more of the secondary details. Thanks!
-
@BichonBistro Good catch. I'll keep this in mind while I develop the foliage!
-
I choose A also
-
-
@TessaW WOW thats impressive. I can't wait to see how you paint it.
-
Wow that looks great! Makes me want to color
-
@TessaW Hi hi I missed the child in the rough sketches

@TessaW WOW!!! I love the colors and the blurry brush strokes you did. Now this is just me but I think it would be great if the flowers weren’t as blurry as the girl to add more contrast and another level of storytelling— the girl’s world is colorless and uncertain hence the blurriness while the garden is a beautiful, safe haven hence the color and more focused surroundings. But then again, this is just me. I do really love your piece as is. Amazing!
-
@TessaW I like this one best
-
@BichonBistro Thank you!
-
@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thank you! I see what you mean. I tried it without the flowers blurry. I'd need to clean up a couple of areas without the blur, but what do you think overall?
-
@TessaW This is such a strong illustration! Do you have a story that goes along with it? If so, I can't wait to read it!
It would be lovely to have a combination of treatment—keeping of some blurred flowers (love that dreamy quality of the strokes) but mostly keeping the more defined ones. Nice job!
-
I love the glow around the flowers! Love the colors in contrast with the black and white. Really interesting.
-
@TessaW hi! I think it’s looking amazing!

This is looking Fantastic, it was really nice seeing it take shape. Im trying to improve my foliage myself, it can be very time consuming. great Job.
