Super fun concept (I love steampunk-y dirigibles, I have one in my portfolio too and it looks like you already have some great feedback. These forums are a great place for getting critiques, and its especially awesome when one of the instructors drops in lucky you! My only comment is your linework seems a little big inconsistent to me--its definitely all there on your dirigible and the dad and the house, but in places like the backpack and the bushes it looks more rendered. Variation in line work can be OK as long as there is some consistency and rhyme and reason to why things are different, which I'm not seeing in the way you have it right now.

Capon Crusader is the only Cockeral that doesn't care for Cackling Cornish Crooks. Please give input for this. I wanted critiques before I colored it. Thanks, Chris

@Lynn-Larson Thank Lynn. That tree was a lot of fun! I don't have my technique down yet so I wasn't too confident when I started rendering it. But with some play and trying different brushes it came out well. Last submission here, I promise... I think, hehheh. I submitted my illustration last night and became restless thinking of all the details that would help push the image. I added some falling leaves to the tree, some sparkles and an abstract tool to the toolbox. I am much happier with the results now. Thank you all for the kind words and comments! Happy 3rd Thursday.

@evilrobot Thanks for bring that up. I was unsure too, if the conveyor belt is a tool or not, as it is described in the text? In the first one she is holding the box and the belt with the bottles are flying out. Maybe if she was reaching in and yanking it out. Unsure if that would be confusing or not? Thanks for your input.

@Rich-Green Happy to hear it! I obviously am a dog lover, I have a black and chocolate lab and my in laws lab is visiting so I have three underfoot at the moment.

@Dulcie a second piece!! i think I will, but maybe not for 3rd Thursday. Took some pictures of a toy train at work, I think I'll use that as reference. thanks for the encouragement.

Love the color scheme. the green is lovely.
