Aww poor kitty she looks so frozen an lonley. Love the pose and how it's curled around the branch, with one paw bove and below and the tip of the tail hanging over. Tiger's really clutching it for dear life! Cx She looks a little like if she weren't holding on like that, she'd get blown off or slip backwards and fall.
Nice coloring job. I can see Tiger's furs pretty clearly, and her coat looks mated a little and definantly wind blown. (That poor cat looks so freezing cold OMG and I think he's been up there a long time) The whiskers are adorable and the fur going into the ears couldn't get better. Very good job with that, it looks real. Though personally I like the whiskers on Tiger's face better than her eyebrow ones, mainly because the face ones are more visible and appear shiny like real whiskers. I love how the small change in color shows where Tiger's leg is (though I gotta say it's hard to see) and where her little paw "fingers" are.
The color on the face looks bit weird, but maybe that was what you were going for. The shape and shine on the eyes is beautiful. The shape of the left ear is also perfect, but the right ear... not so much, I think. It looks like the base is a little too low and the whole thing is a bit too inside the head. It's not a huge stick out but that's just how I see it. Nice job on the ears overall. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
The snow on Tiger's back is amazing. There's a perfect amount of it, and it actually looks like ice, especially the little bits that made their way further down Tiger's body. The top arch of the snow does look a bit strange, but then again I image that would have been very hard anyways. The snow on the tree is also perfect. Very good job. The textrure of the tree bark is good, and I think it looks best on the branch. Awesome that the end of the branch is broken off like that, it's well done. Very well done, actually. Nice iceicle.
The colors of the background are awesome and stand out nicley with Tiger's soft orange fur. The falling snow is good, but maybe the streaks are a little too long and scarce?
All in all you did an awesome job on this e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

I like this piece. It's so sweet how the kitty's hanging on to the branch for dear life. Pastels add a nice impact, and it's a great tequnique! The eyes just have the perfect amount of focus and lighting. The whole thing is good, really. And you did a good job on the fur. The snow on fur was a nice touch. In fact, I could this being a real-life thing, with the ref a lot like this the tree bark looks good as well, and I can see that, despite the branch's size it can clearly hold the kitty.

First of, i just had to see this picture and thoght "wow, I'd love to write a critique to that." It not only looks supercute, it also has this handdrawn, realistic and high-quality touch I am missing in lot of digitally drawn cat pictures.
You did the colours really well. With making the background light blue, you created a very good contrast to the warm cat. The eyes are beatiful: With being the darkest thing in the picture and in the centre, they really attract your attention without looking too unrealistic huge. You can almost feel the fluffyness of Tiger. The only reason I haven't given 5/5 stars on technique is because when you look closely, you still see some smudges. That one snowflake on the left side of the tail is really bothering me.
Originality: Okay, it's a cute cat in the snow.
Impact and Vision: Awwwwwww a cat!<3
All in all, i really think you should continue working with oil on canvas: You are really good at it. Your painting is very good, but not extraordinary, and you can be proud of ite.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

Having looked at both of your paintings, I find myself drawn most to this one. Perhaps it's the roughness or the imperfections, but I find the kitten in this version looks more weathered, perhaps he's been out longer than the other
