Description
Don't really know what to say, just my imagination haha. Done with Illustrator and Photoshop, a mostly digital artwork with a bit of traditional art.I did a few tutorials on illustrator before making this illustration, cause, I'm a beginner on this software, so I failed a bit on certain things, but challenged myself to do an illustration every two weeks and to try to apply my ideas even if I don't know how to do it haha. Hard stuff but I kinda liked it and think the result is not that bad
But I'd really like to know what you think about it !
I'm looking for real criticism, as I really want to improve my work !Thank you

at first sight i really enjoyed it, loved the use of flat textures and flat collage (kinda Fred Deakin-ish, who is one my heroes)... the thing that puts me off is the amount of languages in the same picture and they're clashing. it's not that you have too many things in it, it's just that you have too many different things in the same picture, tho i feel the amount of elements is not excesive. some elements are not talking to each other in the same terms. as i said, look at Fred's artwork, it's really inspiring! (also, if you can meet him, since he's english, you're for a treat.... he's the nicest chap on earth!)
you do have something really interesting in your hand! hope to see more from youuuuu

he's one of the nicest people ever. you can say hello to him in twitter, most of the time he answers back (he loves chatting about music and he makes tons of gifts, i have a couple of things he sent me some years ago). also, he does tons of workshops in the uk, so you've to check his twitter to see what he's up to!

This whole picture reminds me of hot summer days filled with water gun fights and ice cream never ending until it was completely dark outside.
Also I like how everything is a little person keep it up.

I love the little guys you have in your pictures with little dots for eyes. :] And I love the textures that you used in this, especially the corrugated cardboard looking one. :] Having said that however, I do find this piece to be a little busy. This may just be my preference, but I find it easier to focus on cool textures and colors when conflicting textures and colors don't touch. But that may just be me. :]

Thanks ! Yep I can understand but I may assume that it's normal to me because i never thought it was too busy

--amai3ing, dude! Where'd you get your shrooms?!
Cool collage-like idea, but the black sun "icon" on the top right looks a bit odd to me. ;D
I'd try a (radial) black to white gradient maybe.

Haha thank you very much ! I'll tell you in private
Thanks for the feedback, yes now that you tell me I do agree it can be a little bit odd ! But it didn't really disturb me when I did it, so I think I'll let it this way, but yeah I can try your idea it can be good ! Thanks again and have a good day
