Fall WIP - Hipster Bear
-
Just my thoughts on your question. Trees have green and grey and dirty brown trunks sometimes Redish sometimes silver... choose your tree to fit your scene

Wow, I love the character design on this! His expression makes me laugh. He looks really entraptured by fall- just like me! I find myself agreeing with what has already been pointed out by everyone, so I don't have to much to add.
As far as the storytelling aspect, I think @Gary-Wilkinson has a point. I think that maybe adding a leaf to his hand might be a quick solution to this problem, though I'd recommend changing the position of his hand completely. Then he looks like he is really engaged with his environment and it will suit is expression of wonder.

I like it!
The expression the bear is just perfectly hipster.
-
@chip-valecek you could go grey on the tree. If you think about, with the exception of pines most trunks aren't really brown anyway.
-
I made the changes to the bear and put done all my local color. Onto my favorite part... lights and shadows.

@chip-valecek The wood or trees look on the cool side. The bear and the leaves are warm. I like a red wood or deep dark wood. It might bring some more warmth to those areas. I feel that because your bush leaves have all changed and still on (mid to late fall) your green grass is a harsh summer contrast. Either add some green to your bushes or lessen the intensity of the green grass. And one last thing I noticed, the leaf your bear is holding is orange with a noticeable brown stem (if that's the term) while all other leaves stay consistent. I hope I am making sense, lols.

Here is my final submitted piece.
