Description
I´d like to call it a work in progress, because there are still some things that need to be improved (darker cliffs, clouds in the sky, more detail on the ground ...). But before I´ll do this I want to color a copy of this. The more detail I add the darker the drawing becomes, and thus it might be harder to add the color without making it to dark.I thought it might be best to upload it as it is and maybe I´ll go back and work a little more on this eventually...
By the way - my sister told me that the water doesn´t really look like water, but grass.
I know that I need to improve my drawings, but I actually thought you could recognize this as water.
But of course I know what it is supposed to look like and I can´t have an impartial opinion on that - so what do you think: Does it look grass rather than water? And if so, could you give me a hint on how to make it more clear that it is water - that would be very helpful
But either way this problem should not appear in the coloured version

First of all; amazing job, there is already so much attention to detail! The fur looks great, so shiny and real. I also love the grass in the foreground, you're very thorough with the criss-cross pattern here. Now, while I can't really see how the water looks like grass, I do notice something else - the small waves look all a little bit to "upset", I think they would only look like that either on the open water (ocean or larger lake) or of it's really windy in that cove. But because the cliffs would probably block most wind currents, and the waterfall seems quite close, I feel they should actually we a bit calmer. You have a lot of possibilities for the water here: around the waterfall, it would naturally be very upset and wavy, and the further away you go the more even the surface gets. On cliffs there's often a really strong current and high splashes against the rocks. Then on the shoreline it's different again, depending on how steep and rocky/sandy it is. On flat shores, the waves tend to flow into each other quite smoothly. So if you play a bit with variations, I'm sure no one will ever mistake your water for grass again (:
But as I said, beautiful job so far. Looking forward to the coloured and finished piece!

Vielen Dank, dass Du Dir die Zeit genommen hast einen so ausführlichen Kommentar zu schreiben - das freut mich wirklich sehr
Ich verstehe Deine Kritik am Wasser und ich muss Deinen Ausführungen absolut zustimmen. Außer der Löwin ist alles vollkommen ohne Vorlage entstanden und da schleichen sich solche Fehler und unüberlegten Ungereimtheiten bei mir nunmal schneller ein. Aber ich werde daraus lernen und es beim nächsten mal besser berücksichtigen.
Es freut mich auch sehr, dass das Bild insgesamt gefällt. Mit der Farbversion wird es noch eine Zeit dauern, denn ich bin mir derzeitig noch nichteinmal ganz über die beste Farbwahl im klaren. Einerseits hätte ich gerne rotbraune Felswand, einen orange-gelben Farbverlauf am Himmel und strahlend blaues Wasser, doch irgendwie ist es nicht ganz plausibel blaues Wasser zu haben - ohne blauen Himmel...
