Assignment 47: Ice Cave

Published:
734 Views

Description

I'm going to try and jump in on :iconweekly-environment: assignments, this is the 47th Assignment, "Ice Cave"! So I drew an ice cave.

I had a rather gory, red focal point in there, but I took it out.

I really like it! Since you asked for critique, I will attempt to give it to the best of my ability!

First off, I really like how you captured that it's ice. Ice, with some crazy bits floating around in the water well. The point is conveyed REALLY well. Also I'm a stickler for painterly stuff, and that's definitely what this shows.

One of the things I notice, though, and I'm totally guilty of the same thing, is that it's still a little... rough? It feels like you could go in and sharpen some of the edges to help define it a bit more. You've got bits of paint (well, digital paint, but y'know) bleeding in to other areas, and it kind of makes the entire thing a bit murky. By cleaning those up and giving some sharp edges I think it'd read a little better.

Either way, looks awesome!
You've also got this awesome yellow light coming in, but it kind of dissipates really quickly and turns into just a neutral, white light by the time your eye gets to the edge of the page on the right. Adding a bit more of that yellow in there would help, I think--some yellow highlights on the ice and whatnot.
