Personal illustration, hand painted and developed digitally from scratch by me. Original is 7100 x 7100 px @ 300 dpi.
This piece illustrates myself and my two sons in the woods. I develop almost all of my illustrations on the go ... so I add up details and build desired mood.
Hope you like it. Say a word . I'd love to hear from you . All rights reserved .

The colers you use on this are brillant, they are so bright and add intensity the the picture. The creature itself is extreemly weird though at first i though it was one charter. Extra shading around the other two would help with this. The background though is wonderful and really awesome. I love the use of trees in this. The creature desighn is very well done and makes it look like it is a creature of the forest. The shading on the trees is well done and the back lighting is very good. All in all i give it an 8 out of 10.

The fur texture is done very well! This piece is very eye catching and fun! I'd like to add a small critique on it though. I feel like the mouth is the center piece of this image. It's the first thing my eyes were drawn to because of the color choice and beautiful shading. However, I feel like there could be a bit more depth to the cavity within the mouth if there was dark shading towards the back of the throat like you did at the roof. Right now it feels as though it is darker towards the front of the mounth than in the back and makes it look more flat. Ofcourse this may also be a desired effect considering your method of drawing is very stylised. Overall though I love it!

Thank you so much for taking time and writing critique. I'd like to encourage you to write more about picture, theme, colors , mood ,details (eg. lizard, mushrooms, moss ) expressions and technique ... It is hand painted from scratch - every fur fibre , teetch ,eyes . I really appreciate your time and effort however I think there is more than shadows inside his mouth.
I'd be delighted to hear more from you in this subject .
Thank you

I agree there is a lot to the piece. I guess when I think of critique I think of "What can be improved?" The shading on the mouth is really the only thing that stuck out to me personally. I think the whole piece works together very well. Each of the main figures is given equal attention in detail and their expressions are unique even mischievous. In short I think you've done an amazing job in every aspect you mentioned and I can easily see this being published work. Any further comment would simply be more praise on top of praise for a job well done! I'm sorry its not as in depth as you may be looking for but its all I can really offer.
