Really useful information... Is it typical that portfolio reviews are so brief?

@Laurasketches
I am returning to illustration after spending about fifteen years in a career with ballroom dance (yes, you read that right...) I always told myself, "you can draw when you're old and can't dance." Turns out, I love the drawing board more than I love the dance floor... So, even though I'm not old...I am returning to art. I'm older than I should be for starting an art career, which only means I have to practice to make up for lost time. Go easy with me, I'm a beginner.
I want to make art inspired by stories, mythology, religion and nature. I aspire to be published within a year. I have goals to make art my full-time job sooner than later.

@NessIllustration Congratulations! You starting your shop has inspired me to "get on it" and build--ok, let's be reasonable, at least research starting my own shop. Also, thank you Whitney for quotes... might have needed that today.

RE: WIP Book Cover „The Jungle Book“posted in Artwork
@saciia_ I love the values on this cover. I think the silhouette design is very strong. One thing I don't know if you have considered--every silhouette is equal in importance--You might be fixing to change this with the addition of color, but if you want to create visual heirachy---maybe all the silhouettes are pointing to the boy...? , then something might need to give. If you are striving for harmony, you nailed it.

Eleventh hour entry... Cinderella (not the dress part of the story--although that would be really, really fun to draw, but the moment when the prince realizes he's just as excited to see the cinder girl as he is the princess).
Love this story....
