Because of school, I finished this very late. But I suppose that just fits in the spirit of Slowvember! 
There are still some things that don't make sense or could be improved on but at a certain point you have to know to quit. Learned a lot on this piece! There is also an animated version actually, but I don't know how/if I can post that here... You can enjoy the animated version WITH music here, on my instagram.
Hi! I wanted so feedback or tips on this piece.
The colours might be a bit out there 
Obviously I'm still in an inbetween stage but that's also the best stage to change things!
It's meant to be about the plans of a young girl somewhere from 10-13 (any fb on the age?) who really wants to be an astronaut. She likes to build her own miniature planetariums and she even made her mom buy an astronaut helmet on ebay!
I should probably change the bottle in the front to some kind of water bottle instead of smt that looks like a poison bottle! 
Any feedback on story content is also much appreciated! I'm still learning how to "marry" my illustrations and their "purposes" or "back story"
Hello everyone! I'm currently working on this one in my twitch streams and I was wondering if anyone had some constructive feedback? Or just some impressions?
I'm still playing around with composition so this is the best time to change any of that! The tall "wooden blocks" of trees (on the right) are kind of weird, but I thought they were kinda fascinating. What do you think? I'm trying to get a weird but fascinating vibe. (see narrative below)
I have btw already resolved to move the most left 'wooden stick' a bit more to downwards left, because its too close to the heap of wooden blocks for me.
Narrative:
"Whatever you do, don't touch the statues!" his friend whispered to him. They were making their way to the cabin of Lucille's mysterious grandfather. It was quite a hike from the village and his toes were already red and swollen in his too large boots. "Oh and don't ask about the weeds!" Lucille said. "What weeds?" said Gilbert, with a slight tremble in his voice.
@Heather-Boyd Yes I guess I do. This is what I'd call a "color sketch" and I'm not really married to the composition at this point. I like to spend a lot of time on experimenting with both color and composition and usually go between those until I "hunker down" on the details. I guess I'm very chaotic sorry ^^
I do thumbtails before hand and I did do some of those for this but I often still adjust composition after sketching. I guess I'm a perfectionist but I really enjoy that process.
It's like a misty warm winter, I have some figuring out to do there
Hi Albert! I feel a bit silly giving you a critique as I am personally less advanced than you but here goes. Considering everyone else is commenting on your style etc. I will refrain from doing so. I really love your stuff overall! You're very talented.
I think the only piece here that you chose to show that I really didn't like is the book cover "A Night Walk". Mostly for composition issues (try the course Creative Composition). I don't really know what to look at and I am confused to what you're trying to say with this image. Is it about the annoyed old man? Is it about the lovers? Mostly I'm divided between looking at the window and looking at the man and his dog. It would probably help if you only used bright red with the old man and the collar of the dog (and go for a cold color with the fence to up the contrast). And then also avoid warm colours and high contrasts in the background! (Warm colors draw in the eye!) I'd make the door green and the value of the couple lighter so they don't stand out as much. If this really is about the guy being super annoyed and grumpy about this walk, maybe the dog should be pulling the leash harder, practically dragging him along? That would certainly make the "grumpy" part that much more obvious.
I really love the girl drawing, the 007 and the guy in the vintage car pieces. These are the ones that scream "amazing!" and very finished to me! Maybe think about why these three pieces work so well and what your thinking process was with these ones? One small thing, it's kind of annoying that the nose of 007 and the white of the zero line up (see: converging lines, don't remember what class I learned that in again, I think they also talk about it in creative composition). Great work on those hands btw! You seem very talented (:
Errr... please don't use dafont. I come from a design background and I can assure you any professional looks down upon dafont. Instead use google fonts. And use "normal" or "boring" fonts instead of those curly artsy things (that seem quite unprofessional).
And take a look at how the fonts from (well-established) children's books in the bookstore and best-selling postcards on etsy (or something similar) are. Try to go for something like that!
Hi Aska! I really like the colours you've selected for this image, they feel warm and like a big full family! The issue I have with this image is that I don't quite know what to look at. It would help if you made sure that you 'focus person' was the only one not facing right. And maybe you could avoid using blue anywhere and only use it on your "focus" person. Having high contrast around your focus point also helps!
I think the course "creative composition" could help you with this (:
Hope this helps (:
Hey people,
I wonder if any of you have some critique or tips for me? Also I am new to this forum! c:
I already made some (very scribbly) notes for myself with the mouse...
Btw find my art @ instagram
@Jacy13 This is a cool idea too, but I'd definitely add some text if you make it a tshirt line. Always give people some kind of personal link with it, I don't know how to describe it but there are tons of youtube videos on how to make tshirts that sell well
I could see these as a part of a fantasy card game or a calender or even some stickers. Honestly they work really well and are ver homogenous style wise while all being very different, nice work!
@lizardillo said in Feedback wanted (drawing/illustration about space dreams):
Hi, This is lovely. I also struggle with purpose and backstories too. Do you have a backstory in mind? Could it be something like she has been inspired by someone/thing to be an astronaut? Perhaps a hero to her such as the first female astronaut or a pioneering astronaut (sorry my space knowledge isn’t that good) and she could have a framed picture of them or a couple of small pictures of various astronauts and a model of the shuttle around the helmet). Or perhaps she just loves astronomy and has starcharts because she has always wanted to be up in space to be right amongst them. Apologies I’m not too good at the wording of feedback so I hope this sounds ok.
This is actually really interesting thanks! I like your framed picture idea. I think it would be nice to have a frame of a female astronaut and maybe the little girl wrote the astronaut a fan letter and the astronaut responded? I imagine she'd frame the letter too!
@Niels Thank you for your reply, you're absolutely right! I've been thinking this too actually. There is a "sameness" to the colour pallet, both in hue and darkness wise. I might make the shadows darker or overlay with a dark colour to make the darks darker. Gonna figure that out (:
I don't know if this has been said before but I also really enjoy sad images that have some "hope" in them.
Like for example with your two characters in jars with a looming baddie over them: one of your small characters could be working on breaking the jar or something. I think any image or illustration that has "sacrifice" before something good happens, is extra powerful.
As you said about the blending the pokemon thing, that's ultimately too far mostly because (well it's horrible but also) it's irreversible. There is no "light at the end of the tunnel"!
Honestly I think Pixar is a great example. It's family movies but they still touch on very heavy subjects.

Oh actually I just started streaming and talking to people on twitch and a lot of these streamers have their own discords! They're like small communities (:
Thank you guys for all the tips! I've already used some of them.
@donnamakesart You're right about the story of course! I guess I often figure it out while drawing... that might work on instagram but I guess that won't work in a children's book!
I guess for this piece, I'm going more for intrigue and a sense of fantasy and less scary. My feeling of the grandfather is kind of homey and "good" and aloof. I have to work on putting my writing and drawing together, how it interacts etc!
Thank you all for all the tips! It's super helpful!
Did I post this in the wrong forum?

Same! Although I also have a (art) chat group with some class mates (we study illustration) c:
