@Eli does this look better? Do you think I moved the hood far enough?
-
@kristin-wauson This is a nice illustration you have going here. If I may chime in, the added red of the back of the hood helps, but in my opinion the white on the left side (as we see it) also needs to be reduced or tucked behind her head. The ellipse created by the fluffy edge of the hood opening is causing us to think the head is turned more that it probably is. Tucking that side a bit might do the trick. I also like your texture. That is something I really struggle with and your's looks great in my opinion.

Great observation! Thank you! The texture layer on top is Will Terryβs from his Digital/Watercolor mixed media class. You can download them from the supplemental materials.

WOW, just WOW I want to hug that bear and lil girl.
-
@jon-anderson Is this better?
-
@chip-valecek Yay! Thank you so much for your help.
-
@kristin-wauson I think this is getting there! What @Jon-Anderson said about the fluffy trim was what I was TRYING to say, and he said it much better!
-
I really like this so far but I would like to mention that when I squint at this the blue on the bear is very strong and brighter than the warmer light. I'm making this point only because I assume the warmer light is your key light? Nice work so far
-
@kristin-wauson that is better! It's amazing how small fixes can make a difference. After reading the comment @rcartwright made I noticed that the northern lights seem really hot and drew more attention. I don't know if you intended for it to be a focal point but if you didn't you might just fade that and its reflections a bit. Nice work!
-
@jon-anderson and @rcartwright yes, I was a little worried about that and actually darkened the values on those areas already. I work on it a bit more though. Thank you both!!
-
I love this picture. If this was an illustration in a children's book, it would definitely draw me in. I can feel the sense of rescue and care coming from the bear to the child, and that they are about to set off on a journey together. Lovely work.
