I can't say enough about how essential critique is. The difference between the first drawing and the second is the difference between an ok illustration (which is compositionally About A Butt) and an image that tells a story. I'm so excited to paint this!
Sometimes, after staring at a sketch for so long, we need new eyes. Your changes definitely helped. Kudos to you for being open to advise. You have wonderful linework, btw.
ReplyDeleteExactly! I'm extremely happy with what happened. Critique is probably the most valuable resource an artist has; I've made an effort, since I first started making art in high school, to always be open and welcoming to it, and I think it's helped me a lot.
DeleteThank you for the compliment!
