@lmrush I think that taking away some of the snow piles behind the polar bear and cropping a bit would help with clarity! Fun piece!

@smceccarelli This is so encouraging! It's easy to feel behind when you dive into a passion a little later in life!

I think you should send in the one you feel is your best piece OR choose the piece that aligns with where you intend to go - for example, if you want to do traditional, not digital, send in the traditional.

Just fyi, I do not know what you want your focal point to be, the fire in the enhanced version really draws the eye.

It's really fun to see your kids project updates. You do really great work!

I also think that you might be being a little hard on yourself. I can understand where you might want more, as I an in that place too. Great advice above about doing more in depth sketches of a very narrow focus! I might try that as well. Thank you both for posting! @amberwingart @smceccarelli

@Lee-White Oh that's true! I didn't realize that you meant all of these options would provide feedback too! Thats great!

@audrey-dowling I would adjust the direction the characters are looking. I suppose right now, I feel like the mouse holding the shovel should be looking at the cat not the other mouse. And the cat should be looking at the mouse. But neither of these is true, so I'm a bit confused too. Hope this helps!

Personally, I think you already have some great photoshop and digital painting generic courses offered. But the Illustration 1 and Childrens Book 2 and Portfolio specific courses sound perfect!
