@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thank you! I am glad you liked the fun facts. Yes, I am now considering which market I'd like to focus on and am realizing how important it is, so I can create a more united portfolio. I will definitely post more on the forum when I have more questions! Thank you for your help!

@aprilshin Thanks April! ️

@AnnaFleet Thank you Anna!

@Chip-Valecek Thanks so much for the words my friend!! I hope my creations will one day reach your kids

@Zachary-Drenski said in Critique requested portfolio work: @Lobalyss Keep making great art! Thank you ! I will ! @Laurasketches said in Critique requested portfolio work: I think your work has a lovely, simple, graphic feeling. I did notice on your website that your images take a long time to load-consider smaller files or compression? I'm not a techie, but I do know that load time matters. Best of lucK! Thank you for your opinion ~ I thought about it one day and I guess I totally forgot to change the file size, thank you have noticed me that

Hello!!) Your work is very nice!!

@Meta I’ve slowed down in forum writing. Your doing a wonderful job at these master copies!

@sketchbook This looks amazing with the darkened tone, and the dramatic lighting, wow! Thank you all for your comments. I'll have another look at the piece. This is really great feedback

Welcome...You’ve got at least a few distinctive styles here, all of them interesting. Look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

Amazing stuff, welcome!

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.

@evilrobot Thanks for your feedback! Since I've already started on the second piece in pencil I'll work on what I can change (mostly the wolf at this point) and keep the suggestions in mind for future pieces. I initially choose to have the composition centered because I wanted to emphasize the starting and ending point for this character and wasn't sure another composition would highlight the differences as well as a centered comp. In the future I'll try making it less balanced and more dynamic. I agree the first image is still super rough. I think I'll see about adding kids in the alley way to take up some of the space and move the main character as well. There does seem to be a lot of dead space in the first image. I didn't notice it before. I'll have to see what I can do to fix the composition and the blank space.

@Andy-Meeker This is a lovely piece. The colours are perfect and I love the new cut cactus to add more perspective. there is one slight change I think may add to this. I hope you don't mind me saying. The girl with her hand over the boat - her has is a bit of a tangent, if it was out slightly and dragging the sand, as if it was water, with wake behind it. Just a thought. Awesome work.

Good line work!
