That spider looks pretty good. I like how the brush strokes look like fine hair. |

Over the last three days I have been really practising with the wacom, and have formed a routine of doing a 'warmup' before a proper painting. |

They look cute. : ) Something that would help is practicing drawing objects in real life. You can start by sketching a line that shows the axis of your object. Than sketching out simple shapes you think make the object. An example would be how an apple can have a circle shape and a pear can have a circle and cone shape to it. Don't forget to think of your object as 3d and having volume when you sketch.Than you keep on sketching it until you feel that you have gotten to know your object enough to outline it with a darker line.This is the best I could explain it in text. ^^" Sorry if it sounds confusing |

Thanks JadeGreen, I think that is an excellent idea to bring out more visual interest by variations in color! |

I think I'd like to add that there's nothing wrong with starting out with shapes or symbols in order to get to know your object. Also, there are more techniques to learn when it comes to art but I think Naturespirit would benefit more If he focuses on one thing at a time before he can do the rest. Perhaps drawing the objects would make it easier to paint them? You don't even have to try shading yet. Just focus on drawing the objects until you feel ready to move on to the next step.Ofcourse having a teacher by your side would help greatly when your drawing but looking up tutorials might help you get into the drawing thinking process. |

I like the rose you've done in the first picture. It's the first time one of your works has shown a level of dimensionality and coming off the page. If you want to get your work into a somewhat more 3D and less iconographic look, at least with the top part and the petals. How you've used color to create shape here is working fairly well. (If I recall correctly using color to create depth was my criticism of your first batch of works, so It thrills me to see you are now studying that.) I think the bottom part could use some work though, it lacks that distinctive bell shape that roses have, and makes it look more like a poppy. The stem could use some more definition and effort put into it aswell. |

omg look at you go! This is really a step up from your previous works. But you seem to be thriving on our collective constructive criticism so I see no reason not to keep a good thing going. |

Relatively easy bird paintings. |

Once again, I think that your first composition as a whole is much more successful. The bird's body has more shape to it than the second, and there are more subtle variations and layerings in the blues. I also like that in places your strokes are following the shape of the bird's body. I feel like the anatomy of the feet and tail might be a bit watered down, though after a quick google search of Birds on Pearches and examining pictures at a similar angle, you might not be as off as I originally thought. It also looks like you were challenged in rendering the pattern on the bird's wing. I can tell you made an effort, but it's not as successful as it could be. |

Thanks! |

Its a modest improvement, the beak has a bit more volume and definition than before, though the shape still looks a bit awkward it does look like you've made an effort to improve it. I can see you've worked the body a little bit in an effort to clean it up and bring out more volume, though to be frank, it's not as effective as it could be. |

Hmm it actually looks like you're following the reference pretty closely. Looking closely at your painting I see the value differences that youve observed in the reference, you're under-representing them in your painting, and more focused on the colors of the birds feathers. You need to take both of these into account. |

Let me first say, I agree with JadeGreen, there's progress. |
