@Heather-Boyd Thanks for all your great input!! I agree with your 4th point haha, i was trying to find a solution but i may have to repaint his body completely. Thank you again!

@murielle Thank you for your reply! Someone else mentioned the eye on the first one, i will go back and and see if i can fix it up. I didn't look at a reference for the eye, thats probably why it looks off. Thanks for your input!

Hi everyone! Here are my 3 most recent tiger paintings. I am wondering which one is the strongest piece. If you think one is more strong in composition but one has better anatomy or lighting, that would be valuable information for me to hear as well as well. Any other feedback or criticism is welcome as well. Thank you!

This piece looks absolutely wonderful, and the story behind it is heartwarming and beautiful! Very successful overall. A small change that might benefit it further is a slight change of the boy's eyes. To me, it looks like he is looking towards the ground, not his sister. Angling them more downwards and to the left will make it look like he's looking at her more, especially if we can't see the full circle of his irises!

@donflo Thank you for these great suggestions!! I really love the choices you made in your sketch. I'll keep those tips in mind for next time!

Hello everyone! I'm working on a piece which consists almost 100% of elements i've never drawn before, so i am definitely out of my comfort zone and this sketch alone has taken me a few hours to gather together! Any advice before i move on to the painting stage would be appreciated. Anatomy is probably the biggest problem, since i rarely draw humans haha. Also wondering if the general concept reads well (the little girl is using the "bunny ears" method to tie her shoe) Thank you!!!

@kristin-wauson yes I completely agree! In fact The perspective was giving me so much trouble yesterday I made a physical mock-up of the setting and took some reference pictures. It looks a lot more believable now!

Hey everyone! I have an ongoing painting series of griffons that aren't the normal combination of eagle + lion. I'm tackling a Barn Owl + cougar griffon next. Looking for tips on making it a stronger creature design, and i'm especially struggling with the tail design. I want to include both the tail shape of a cougar as well as feathers. Here is the sketch: Any tips appreciated! Thanks so much!

Id love some feedback on this piece i just finished up! Mostly wondering how well the concept reads but anything you notice about colors/rendering etc please let me know as well! Thanks so much!

Here is my entry! Good luck everyone there are some incredible entries here!!!
