Snow Pandas Critique

[Suji Park]

Hey all
I've been drawing a series of images with a panda and red panda together these days.
This is a scene of them together on a snowy night. Still work in progress.
I can't decide if the composition is better with or without the crop! What's your vote?

1. with crop
   

2. without crop

I like 2 without crop better. Nice work!

@Suji-Park 2:-)

Really cute! I also like it better without the crop

@Suji-Park I think they both are a very nice perspective depending on what you are saying with the image. If you are expressing an intimate moment in conversation, the cropped close up feels appropriate, but if you are giving a sense of closure (like an ending scene where you are leaving off with a sense of contentment and friendship, the panned out imagine is more fitting (in my opinion of course) ️ Either way, both perspectives are quite lovely

@IanS @aska @eriberart Thanks so much for voting! Sounds like 2 is the popular choice! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

@eriberart @Jenna-Jenks Jenna, I love your descriptions. The way you described the images make both options sound good to me! I am leaning toward the image without the crop though. Like you said, I like the sense of closure. Thanks for your thoughtful comment

Liking it better without the crop--mainly because the design of the window is lovely AND the characters of the two watching birds adds visual interest. I also think it helps the color scheme pop out the yellow framing your main characters. Nice work!

@Suji-Park you're most welcome! I'm glad I could give you food for thought
