<p>Thank you Bowman you’ve given me fantastic advice which I will definitely take into account.</p>

<p>Hi I took your advice and tried to edit some of the drawings. could you check over these updates please and tell me if they’re worth sending? </p>
<p><a href=“http://i.imgur.com/orKfY.jpg[/url]”>http://i.imgur.com/orKfY.jpg</a> = Butterfly <strong>New</strong> </p>
<p><a href=“http://i.imgur.com/4xg8O.jpg[/url]”>http://i.imgur.com/4xg8O.jpg</a> = Contrast <strong>Update</strong></p>
<p><a href=“http://i.imgur.com/1EWMf.jpg[/url]”>http://i.imgur.com/1EWMf.jpg</a> = Horse <strong>Update</strong></p>
<p><a href=“http://i.imgur.com/40O32.jpg[/url]”>http://i.imgur.com/40O32.jpg</a> = Ocean 2 <strong>Clearer Picture</strong></p>
<p>I’ll try to get a clearer picture of Ocean 1.</p>
<p>Like the rendering on the butterfly and flower, but this piece needs a background. Contrast looks great!
Do some more work on the horse, and try to really contrast your lights and darks. If needed, exaggerate the shadows and highlights in your reference for more of an effect. I see there is a log in the back, but maybe add some trees in the back or some gradient in the sky? There is a lot of ambiguous white space. The picture looks way better though and so does the ocean one. Keep up the good work. It’s looking much better! :D</p>
<p>@Bowman I’ll be sure to add more background for the Butterfly one.<br>
As for the Horse one, it’s actually a failed attempt at an ocean/beach in the background with a sunset haha. Do you think if I darkened the ocean it’d be more clear it was a beach?
As for Ocean 2, is this one worth sending? Or should I just send Ocean 1 (the one that i tried to make impressionist)?</p>
<p>Yes, I’d try that out for the ocean. And I guess you could send the ocean piece, but wait and see what you are able to create before the deadline.</p>
<p>alright that makes sense. the ocean piece is a little simplistic and looks pretty average.</p>
