Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


Anatomy: On the woman's left hand her fingers are a tad long, and her thumb is too short. The pose of her arm is also off, the way it is either her left upper arm is very short or the forearm is deformed. If you draw one slight curve down the center of her face, you will notice that you have four different perspectives in the lady's face, one in the mouth/chin are, one in her jaw, another in her nose/far eye, and another in her closest eye
Design: The Werewolf's eyes should probably be a more intense yellow to match the luminescence of the woman's eye.
Lighting: Firelight, on a dark night, makes very dramatic shadows which we partially see in the werewolf but not on the woman.
The FEEL of the picture is great. You nailed it, and that can be one of the hardest things to do. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/> Your fire is absolutely gorgeous, so good job! I also love the soft, smokey feel of the womans hair, and the look of the werewolf's fur. You obviously put a lot of effort into this picture.

I have just started painting some of my charachters digitally and I'm still working on the proportions and perspective part my art professor when I was in school said I see showos and such well for some reason no matter how hard I try some little thing is off I can get the hand perfect then have issues with my faces or I get the face looking awsome and something else looks a bit off or one charachter awsome but it don't want to work right on the other I have the clean original drawing I'll attempt to work on it. I really appreciate your critique practice makes perfect and it's hard to figure things out if no one points them out to you

I know how thag feels. My mom always said my stuff looked "cartoony" when I was younger looking back I see why.
Two things I know can help with the perspective issue is to (1) draw a box around the concept sketch and sketch outside of where the pic actually is, so you can see relationships between limbs. (2) look for actual marks in the human body that help with anatomy, i.e. the elbow always lands at the bottom of the ribcage when someone has their arm down by their side.

If I look at a photo they come out a little different for some reason when I do them majoritaly from my head they are a bit cartoony but thatk you I'll try that and maybe try repainting them or at least post the fixed original drawing if I can get it figured out. I've done drawings where I don't notice something till the photo I took has been posted. But hey practicing and working on it I eventually have to get it figured out

Thank you I like improving and it's hard to improve when no one wants to give pointers or comment I'm excited I scored well on everything else. I found some awsome stock photos and fam and friend photos I can use for refence points

Really? I guess great minds think alike right . I was told a lot of people have similiar ideas it's how you present them that makes them unique. Ideas may be similiar but not truly the same (was told this after joining dA and finding out ideas I thought were completely original were here two and I had been working on them for years). I did this one for the chapter cover for the first chapter of my story After the Eighteenth Year it actually depicts a small scene in that chapter
