@chrisaakins i agree!! thank you for the critique!!

@Amanda-Bancroft ah, yes i remember, i love that one!! i'll have to rewatch it sometime soon, she is just so incredible

@Aaron_T @Nyrryl-Cadiz thank you so much for the critique! I have since workshopped the eyes and i think they look a bit better now, i agree they really weren't looking anywhere near the butterfly haha. I will work on that cast shadow!!

@Amanda-Bancroft thank you so much for the critique!! And im so glad to hear you like it so far as well. I am certainly very inspired by Therese Larsson and have watched all of her demos that i can find haha, does she have a class somewhere I can take?? :o

@Perrij thank you!! and WOW that looks a ton better. I will do something like this for sure! thank you so much for the paintover i really appreciate it!!!

Hi everyone! This is my newest illustration WIP, it's an Andean Mountain Cat. I wanted to work on fur and rock textures. I'm feeling okay about it but i'm unsure about the placement of the grasses, they don't look quite random enough maybe? Maybe it's just because they're not rendered yet. I'm also not quite in love with the colors, and i can't decide if it looks like the cat is looking at the butterfly haha. And does the background have too much contrast? Any advice is appreciated on these aspects or on any other part of the illustration!!! thank you!!!!!!!

@animatosoor @Coreyartus @IgorWoznicki here is the finished piece! thank you again for your tips!! feel free to critique this piece as a final version if you wish, although i don't plan on going back into it and making edits at this point in time. And @IgorWoznicki , my instagram is @pixus.art!

@IgorWoznicki thank you so much!!! i definitely agree, those tangents were distracting me as well. i plan to fix them right away. thank you for your thoughts!!

@Coreyartus thank you!!! I have some reference for the leaves and how they'll be interacting with the light, so those will help me out. I think i might tweak the bounce light for that reason that you mentioned, it is pretty intense indeed. Thank you for your thoughts!!

@animatosoor thank you!! i didnt really think about the angle as i planned this piece, but i think the viewer is looking slightly down onto the dragon/ground
