Haha, Luffy's face is pretty easy. It's his body that gets to me. It's really hard for me to draw skinny guys, because then I think they look too tall, so I shorten them up to be proportional, and then they look like kids, so I shrik their head and wham, you get the same problem all over again, with them looking too "normal" to be skinny, and the only thing that's changed is the resolution size lolol

haha, I'm glad your mom decided to pose for you, because his pose looks awesome I really like the wood's shadows and such of the ship too my only gripe would be that the background... I dunno... seems sort of 'flat' to me... I can't point my finger on it to why :\ Maybe it's the clouds...*sigh* I dunno ~__~ no wait... I think I do... I think it's because the horizon line that connects the sea to the sky is kind of flat... Usually as the sea goes further and further away, it gradually gets darker, but here, you're doing the opposite, eventhuough the sun really hasn't set, yet? rofl, gotdammit, I don't know... But it has *something* to do with that goshdarn water!
sorry, I tried.

yeah, you're right, white woulda helped a lot if ya had it... :\
I tried to find you a coupla quick references to how the sky/sea looks when the sun's...*sorta* kinda almost setting (to where, it at least *begins* changing colors)

(Okay, so it's *more* than a 'couple', but you get my drift XD
...Get it? Drift? sailboat? the sea? XDD rofl, sorry, that was randomly corny)
Anyway, yeah, since ya can't change it now, it's just some refrences to think about for next timers~ The darkness of the wooden rail wouldn't bother me if it was just the foreground only, since it doesn't conflict with the bg...but...whatevers, I guess lol

Well, as I said before, Luffy's expression is fieeeenne! That was also a pretty neat detail having the one bird darker since it's in front of the sun. I also like how you change your coloring style based on the subject: the sea is deep and smooth while the wooden railing is rough and stroke....ular? Haha, your mother posing for this.... Thanks for this sunny piece of joy in my day even though I didn't get to go along and register my art today at the con.

The colouring is very bright for your doing! I happen to really like the highlights on his shoulders (those rock, to be frank). Gosh, and I know everything about those combo-scanner monsters that eat your perfectly fine drawings.

I used to be really scared of color too... I've always had a really big phobia about using unnatural colors... and I'm beginning to get over it, though it still is a challenge to me.
