@Will-Terry Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with this, so much better! Thanks for your positive feedback and the suggestions. I get lost when it comes to backgrounds.... so I hadn't planned anything. So grateful for this school and for all you all do for us aspiring illustrators!!!
@Thrace Thank you so much Thrace. I totally agree. It is so easy to see once someone else points it out!!!
Wow, great composition improvement. A very simple change did make easier to catch the focal point. The concep is pretty nice. I'll be paying attention to updates.
Thanks for sharing.
Working on the recommended changes- So much better!! First time getting help with illustrations in the forum- definitely worth the fear of putting yourself out there!
Does anyone have thoughts on varying styles within one illustration? The focal point being more detailed and the other wolves being a little looser?
This is so warming and I really like your color choices so far! Can't wait to see updates!
@bharris Thank you !
the way you handle paint is very interesting to me and I really like it! I feel like this scene wanted to be a bit more intimate, and I think cropping it out a bit can help to bring the warmness together. I don't know if my cropping is the best here but just a thought. If you haven't I recommend watching Lee White's Visual Storytelling Techniques course; it has helped me a ton. Good luck!
@Naroth-Kean Thank you so much I will definitely take cropping into consideration Also thank you for the class suggestion! Still learning to paint digitally I used to paint traditionally but love the flexibility of digital
Update on progress, struggling with the sky-any painting tips/ tricks to smooth transition of colors?
Ok, I have stared at this for too long. I am thinking I will call this puppy done. Thank you for all your input. I wanted to try to finish per Wills suggestions, thank you Thrace for the suggestions of the dogs all around happy to see her and Naroth for the crop suggestion, I still plan on drawing that one; cropped with puppies all around, then I can add them both to my portfolio showing keeping character consistent 
@sergio Thank you Sergio, looking forward to seeing all the entries
@lmrush being a huge dog lover and someone who has had a husky in the past as well, this really speaks to me. I love the interesting choice of colors and the painterly look too!
@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.
