@demotlj Thank you for the feedback! I've changed Lucy's face, not only in terms of shadows and cheeks, but also the eyes, which I've decided would look better if they were closed. I think it's a lot better like this now. Thank you all for the feedback! It helped me understand some notions about shadows, focus of the illustration and illustrating the faces better

@AnnaDaviscourt Thanks for taking the time to do such a lovely introduction. I enjoy your work-and starting checking it out after Lee's shout-out. I'm interested in your character class--I think it might be a good fit for me this summer. I'm pretty new to this, leaning more toward comics than children's illustration-do you think the class would be applicable beyond children's illustrations? Like you, I have dog-envy! My household isn't on board (yet!) and a person doesn't acquire a dog, the whole house does. We have 2 mature Bengal cats-which are a little like dogs but I would like some unconditional love on my timeline! Like @demotlj (and my cats)-I'm mature in years. Improving my drawing and figuring out what I WANT to draw are the passions I'm cultivating as I edge toward retirement. I'll check out your current class and what else you've got posted on the 'net.

I have been creating this story for some time now and I wanted to share some images with you all. Although the name has changed several times, I am almost there!!

Hi there, hereby my first post, this illustration of this crazy early bird. Painting done in procreate. Inspired by color theory tutorial by Will. Tried to be more aware of the use of saturated/unsaturated colors to put emphasis on main part (head). Any feedback? thanks
