The first area I plan to redouble my efforts on, is my early sketches / exploration / and composition. I really get impatient to get on with inking and other aspects, and I know I could come up with stronger compositions, visual "story", etc...

@kevin-longueil good eye! Thanks for the heads up. Or should I say the tongue out?

Thanks so much for the feedback! I debated on the red radio, I was hoping a pop of color against all that blue green would be a nice touch. I'll try a few color variations on that and see which works the best. I love the idea of adding some other things to the table! I've give that a shot.

I'm really at a loss for how to do the contrast. In black and white I can do it, but how to implement those changes in the color version really escapes me. That is definitely something I will work on. I almost NEVER draw backgrounds, so this was a huge step for me!

I'll work on some of this feedback, and post variations. Thanks again, really excited to continue illustrating and learning here with this awesome group of people!
