Description
First of all, thanks for the 20k pageviews, guys. No longer a kiriban person but just wanting to remember when did I pass that mark. OK, back to business...Ahhh... what a nice day for fishing, and on a lake that not many fishermen know about but still has plenty of fish to make them happy. Dora could say it with that nice catch, but I think Ludy won't.
Hey, have you noticed that lately I've made too many summer drawings? Not all, but from Flora's twirly dress to now, most of them follow a similar line
Oh and before you throw the typical "cute" on your comment, Dora has to tell you something regarding that point: I'M NOT CUTE!!!

I really love all the color used in this image. Somehow you managed to keep them very natural looking and still seem bright and cheerful. Regarding color, I think some in the sky would have been nice, even if just a light blue or gray to give it some feeling.
I absolutely love the effect of the water. It's very difficult to draw and you got a very realistic feeling with the soft rippling waves; kudos!
Another thing I love is the fish! A lot of people don't take the time to actually look at things before they draw them, and you got the fins all right! I love the speckled design you gave his skin as well, makes him look very realistic.
The only thing I think could use some work would be the anatomy. I know that you're going for a stylized look here, but their hands still seem very awkward. The one that's holding up the fishing line looks more like he's holding up a dirty sock. If you've ever gone fishing than you probably know that fish are fairly heavy and when you're holding the line you have to grip the whole thing because those fish will be wiggling and flipping and bouncing around. The females hands also seem very small though that isn't quite as noticeable.
Overall, a good job and a very unique look to a bright colorful picture.

Thank you very much! Not bad for the first critique I've ever received, it's right what I'd expect: what's not so great and what it does. And those "what's not so great" have been usually small details, not big issues that could distract you from the whole picture.
As of the fish, glad you say it looks nice. It was actually the first time I made one

I try to be fair in my critiques, and point out the good and the bad together. No one just wants to hear about the bad, but if you don't hear about it, how do you improve?

That's right. Even if I can't commit right away it could help me consider that detail the next time I make something similar

Good job on the fish! seeing as i've never seen you draw one before, it came out well!
You added the reflection of the hill in the back, which helps realism.
And... um... dora is cute *is punched by dora*
( Alex: Did someone say fishing? *pulls on overalls, and grabs a hock and some line, finds a twig and fashions a home-made rod* Can i join

Thanks! It was a really nice attempt.
Yes, Alex can join the fishing if she wants to.
If you keep calling Dora cute she will eventually hate you

Are you talking about this one, which I even commented and faved a while ago? [link]
Mine can't be better than yours or the other way around because our styles are different

(^ ^) I love how all of your pics have a background and a scenario!

Yeah, that's what I do so that they don't say "oh, it's (character) again" and to make everything more interesting

Thanks for the congrats! Though your closest kiriban (that's how they're called) will be 5,000, but if you're still active you'll reach 20k or more too.
Yes, they're having a nice weekend. You might see that Ludy is sad because she hasn't caught anything but eventually she did

I have exams now and I dony have time for drawing, but I'm sure I will post new works after a while
Very nice story to this picture

PensΓ© que esas rayas blancas eran las gotas de agua que dejaba el pez hasta que i que tambiΓ©n habΓan cerca de Ludy
Jeje, me gustΓ³ la cara de "te ganΓ©" de Dora
π: 0 β©: 1
No, son las rayas que el agua deja al correr. Si los peces no suelen nadar tan cerca de la superficie o tal vez Ludy hubiera tenido mΓ‘s suerte

Mmm... OK por esta vez te lo pasa porque apenas le estΓ‘ entrando el "no soy linda"
