I really enjoyed this homework, it allowed me to practice this unique pose :)

Nice! Do you have the reference photo you can upload here too? It'd be useful to see the reference to better help understand how you translated the lighting to your painting.

You did a great job his hand and arm I think

I’d say you’re on the right path. It’s a strong start. You’re light is coming from straight out onto this creature but why not angle it? It’ll give you more dimension in that the front or back of the creature will have more light. Remember that things in the shadow tend to have less detail and things in the light tend to have the most. However shadow is the best place to play with color and reflective ambient light ! :) Cant wait to see it done ✅

The colours are great but the two people at the bottom of the drawing stand out too much compared to the soft surroundings, making them seem unreal.
Nancy Yocom
Cool, I like how you added the contrasting color in the green.
Anya Robbins
thank you Marco Bucci for heling me expand how i render and use colors. I did some experimental ( for me) coloring in this and am very happy with the improvement it made. Open to criticism and tips :)

This style is super outside my comfort zone, but I always admire it. Sorry for the poor attempt and also the random subject lol it was just on my desk... first attempt. quick painting. 1hr . CSP
@nikki112459
I like that . work some more and you have a style.

Apologies if this made you spit out whatever you were eating at the moment. I am wondering what I could do to fix the lighting?
Anya Robbins
So it looks like your light is coming from above, or maybe slightly from the front-above. the first thing i'd do is go in an define my cast shadows. should be one on the .... tentacle tongue? and teeth... bellow the lips in general. there should be one on the lower part of the top lip too. try adding a sharper highlight on sections of the uper lip to define it more. Also the tentacles look like they have purple light at the bottom. why not use that to put some purple reflected light bellow the bottom lip to define it once it is darker from cast shadows.
Anya Robbins
Not sure where to find these brushes you are talking about.
Anya Robbins
oh okay they were under the course itself not the specific lesson lol sorry and thank you!
