Description
Art trade for the fabulous of a tree kangaroo and a wombat.I love how this turned out, my only beef is the wombat's eye isn't looking directly towards the kangaroo. Caught that one too late, and now that's probably all you guys can see lol.
I have a few other art trades lined up to finish, so expect some more random animal doodles before I switch back to fan art
** Constructive critique wanted on this one! I like the colouring and shading but something's missing (maybe the anatomy?) and I could use an artistic eye to figure it out **

This is adorable! The line art is super clean and you did well on the poses. I don't think the anatomy is off, especially since you drew this in your own style. You could have made the shading a bit deeper and sharper in some places, like in the ears of the kangaroo. Since you use a watercolor brush, all edged are semi soft. Don't be afraid to put in some harder edges as well, especially on places where tings overlap and would cast a clear shadow. For example, where the hand of the kangaroo touches the wombat, this would normally have a distinct, sharp shadow since the hand is so closer/on to the back. Same for the fold in the tail, you can put in a deeper, sharper shadow there. Last thing I would mention is that is you want more dept, you might want to play around with your line weight. Your line art is awesome, but all the lines are the same thickness. Lines that are closer to the viewer and/or are overlapping something would be slightly thicker. This helps the eye determine what is close and far. Bit of a poor explanation, so maybe look up a tutorial for that

Yes, that would be good! You can also make the lines thicker where it touches the ground and where the hand touches the back.

Glad you understood, haha! Line weight is a whole study in itself though, so be sure to look into it
