Critique requested portfolio work
-
Hi,
Sorry in advance, english isn't my first language, I try my best ! (I'm french)
I'm doing illustrations for my portfolio and I'm looking for my business path at the same time, if I want to do children books, visual development, editorial etc. I figured out that artists I admire pursued several path too. It's kinda hard to focus on one based on competition.. My actual portfolio is this one https://mayllis.fr/ . I feel like there is a more design style (that I don't know if it can go in editorial), and a more vis dev/editorial/illustration for books style. I think I will develop more the second one but listening to svs courses, I should focus more on only one.
Based on that, I would be happy if you share your opinion about my style. Where do you see this kind of works ?As the same time of thinking, I work on my portfolio. I did this illustration yesterday but I'm not entirely happy with it. I don't really know why and I think that maybe fresh eyes can help ! It feels like there are problems of proportions between people, boat and sun, and that characters have not the right style for this illustration.. maybe to realistic ?
(Last question for the future, if I want more critiques about other works, it's better to continue on this topic or to create an other one ?)
I hope I didn't mix everything and that my message is quite clear :disappointed_but_relieved_face:Have a nice day

Hi @Lobalyss
You have a lot of great work in your portfolio and I love this piece! It’s simplicity is beautiful. The boat looks a little small. I feel like it is close to the beach so it looks like a toy boat. Maybe you can try pushing it back further in the distance.
I’m pretty new to the forum but I would say create a new thread for each piece you want critiqued but..... hopefully the people with more experience here will give their opinions.
Great art!

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.
