Great piece. For what it's worth, I don't think you need to rework the sky. The guy in the middle is especially well characterized and arranged.
Never too late for such wonderful work!
Very Good!!!!!!!
Marion,
I love these illustrations. What are you using for your medium?
Thank you all so much for the kind comments! Dave, I think I'll just add a bit more of the darker shade on the top of the sky on the right side. Maybe make all of the dark shade a little more intense.
Nancy, I'm using acrylic and colored pencil. Basically, I do an underpainting with acrylic and then add pencil on top. It's actually a pretty fast technique.
p.s. Even though I might still tweak the sky a little,thanks for that comment, Dave! And the one about the guy in the middle!
That's how I feel when my daughter wants me to play "horsey!"
Looks terrific as is. I love the lavender color of the sky :)
Thanks again! And thanks to all for stoppin' by!
If I got this right, this is a depiction of all the equipment from the past that now can be worked with a handheld device? Really nice work!
You got it right, rmsmi. I'm not sure I portrayed it all that well, but you got what I was thinking. The little girl and the dog need very little equipment, but the Dad is weighed down with all the old stuff. I think it could also be taken as the Dad having to provide and carry the largest burden. But I was thinking about changes in technology. Thanks for the comment and compliment!
me likey. I would love to see you do more dog illustrations. your doggies are the bestest.
You have said so much with this illustration! I love his exaggerated pose and her oblivion. Well done!!
