Here is my take on this month's challenge. I call it food chain inception. It was a lot of fun to illustrate this specially because I'm not used to drawing animals.

Feedback please...if you're feeling generous.
Hi everyone,
Let me start by saying that I am not the most active person on this forum, probably another manifestation of my introversion, so I understand if you don't want to give me feedback on this sketch but if you're feeling generous today and decide to give me feedback I really appreciate it. Sorry for the poor quality image, my sketches are messy because I keep drawing and erasing until it looks like what I want. This sketch is not for the July contest, I just decided to try to illustrate parts of the story, this one would be when Dorothy and friends spot Emerald City for the first time. I am looking for some feedback on composition and characters. Does it bother you that Dorothy is not wearing a dress and instead an overall? Does tinman look too simple? Does the picture work when it comes to describing a moment? Any other comments will be appreciated.
Thank you very much,

Hello
Hi everyone. I joined SVS some time ago but finally I had the initiative/courage to introduce myself. I love drawing and painting and creating illustrations. I didn't have a formal art education though, I mainly learned, and am still learning, with courses online and taking a few classes here and there. I mainly work traditionally with acrylic paint, colored pencils and inking pens but I am thinking now to start combining traditional and digital. I am enjoying SVS very much, the instructors are really good, and I am really impressed with the quality of everyone's work here. I am hoping to improve my art and be inspired by the art of everyone here.

@mag Wow this is super helpful, thank you. I will move the characters, make them more expressive and incorporate more background. Such good comments, thank you.

@amiklo Glad you like the overalls. You are right, the expressions do not reflect what I was trying to say with this illustration, I will try to make them more expressive. Thank you for taking the time to give me some feedback.

RE: Feedback please...if you're feeling generous.
@NessIllustration You are spot on and I was worried about that. I am working on making my characters/drawings more alive, I guess I usually focus so much on the proportion/anatomy/etc that I neglected the story part. I will try to rearrange the characters and draw them in a more expressive way, as if they are really seeing something really impressive. Thank you for that comment, it's really helpful.

@akterrey Yes, thank you, I will reposition the characters so that it's not so confusing.

@Pamela-Fraley Thank you for your comments, you are right about all of them. I will incorporate more background and move the lion, and the other characters too, because as others mentioned there is too much overlap between them and it's difficult to distinguish where one ends and the other starts. Thank you for taking the time to give me some feedback, I appreciate it.
