Critique?! What's wrong with this picture? It's great! Well... My suggestion for improvement would be to maybe not make the Lambeosaurus look so smooth; try making him look a little more scaly or have a slightly rougher hide. Or, since he IS in a swamp, a little more wet and shiny. Maybe some green swamp scum on the snout if he was sticking it under water and eating? Your cypress roots look fuzzy, not hard and bark-ish. I'd also add some darker lines to them to show how the water level changes.
I like how you made the trees further back lighter; it gives a good sense of depth and makes the colors in the picture more interesting. The human hands and face are great. You have a great sense of color and composition. Keep at it!

I'm with Vorchia....I can't even really begin to critique this because it is so gorgeous in comparison to anything that I can do...however, I did check Az's suggestions and i definitly could agree there. Other than that, just sit and bask in my admiration! ;D

Thanks for the telling me what ya'll thought. What you said, Az, is a great suggestion. On the next dino I'll try to make it look more scaly and yes, I struggle with doing water and your advice definitely makes sense. As for the tree roots, yeah, now that I think about it, the roots are a little fuzzy.  Guess there's always room for improvement. Thanks again, BD, SP, Rosa |

I especially like that the colors seem to resemble the illustration of dinosaur vision in ALAFT.  |

Um..... If I found anything to critisize I'm sure Vorch and many other members would hunt me down and kill me for uttering such blasphemy. Really Awesome work. Truly beautiful!
*Sigh*
I wish my art was as good.

Actually, the pic of the waterfall (Niagara Falls) is done in oil paints. The rest are either graphite or colorpencil. |
