Hey great work! Good luck on getting in! Love how you did the face

Anne Dyari @ Friday, January 23rd 2009, 12:01 AM

Oh, very nice job, one crit though is to try and not let the colors bleed, I see abit of blue and orange that got into the character from the BG.
Other than that, great job ^^

EDIT; Zong I talk too much.
Not quite sure how to crit the anatomy, since it's pretty good and I have no clue what a numbat is :>;

But I have some things on the coloring. It seems kind of rushed and really sketchy, which in some cases is fine, but like... on the main body it looks kind of weird :c (<-- my way to describe anything lol) It also doesn't seem to have that definite of a light source, with shadows on all sides in certail areas (mainly the head) and no to little shading on the back stripes.

The background's... really messy. But a lot of people have trouble with backgrounds, so you get points for the effort xP
I think next time you could look up some refs for the background, since it looks new to you, and you could take more time on it. The background is a part of the image too, so you should put just as much effort into it as you did the subject

My main tips on the background... Well, more texture, and more shadows. The way you shaded the sand makes it look water-like because of where highlights are, but you should remember that the sun hits nearly every part. Spread out the shading more next time~ And continue the highlights all the way through. You could try making the subject's layer invisible and working on the background alone to keep you focused. I don't get why there's a dark outline around the subject in the BG either *-*; Shading on the mountains (WHICH ARE REALLY ANNOYING TO MAKE ><) and the tree+rock would of been nice, too.

The sky you got half down. The blue fades from light to dark as it gets higher~ You should try putting more detail in clouds if you put them. Clouds even have shadows if you look at them

Though... I dun think there are clouds often in a desert setting...

I still like your subject and your lines, but as you're here, try to improve on your coloring. Look up references if you need to, and be patient! Little things like coloring out of the lines or missing spots can make a big difference in the result.

Good luck on your second tryout, too
