Description
Listening to The Beatles makes me draw weird things.Um, so. I don't know. I think this is lacking something. Right now it's sitting awkwardly between "just a doodle" and "good enough to post as a completed piece" to me.
I want ADVICE. What could I add to this to make it look more...complete? While still keeping that sketchy quality and not making it too detailed...?
I think it looks a lot like some other artists' work, which I both like and don't like. Hmm. At least they don't look so much like WOLVES. Yes? Because apparently EVERYTHING I DRAW LOOKS LIKE A WOLF.
...but seriously, I want crits or advice or something. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
And yes, I am having fun with colors lately. XB
Edit: I changed the background a bit. Before it was just kinda black gradating into blue; I added some blue in the corners and made the bottom darker. It's a bit more balanced now so I like it a little better. Not sure if it's totally finished, but eh. Advice is still welcome.

XD! Actually I tend to despise pink, but it works in some combinations. This particular shade is supposed to look more light red than pink, if that makes sense...XD; But of course posting this to the interwebs changed the colors a little bit, so it looks a little lighter.
Thank you though XD I'm in a trippy phase I guess.

i know how you despise pink and....orange i believe?
and i know what you mean, you want to look like like this nice light red color but apparently to everyone else its pink or it could be that my computer monitor is a bet weird lol

Orange is fine, it's yellow I don't like. (haha which is also in here XD)
It's probably not your monitor, stuff just tends to look different on the internet as apposed to...not on the internet...for some reason. -shrug-

XD you simply put colors that you do not like into this picture. OH THE IRONY!!!
it could be the monitor. All computer monitors are different. ANd the internet just responds to the picture.

Maybe, but I swear the colors on this thing look different on DA than they do in photoshop. And I noticed that colors look a little different on images that I saved from the internet too. I dunno. MAYBE FIREFOX IS JUST STRANGE.
But with the pink and the yellow, I don't like them on their own, but they work with other colors well sometimes. Like...I would not wear a pink or yellow t-shirt. But that's different. XD

This is very cool, I love the colors. It's very creative and unique.
If you were to add something, maybe something up in the left corner that's a color you haven't used in it yet. Maybe some lime green or bright purple, but small and doesn't interfere with the other things in the picture.

Thanks!
Hmm, I don't know about the colors, I think throwing more colors in there might be distracting...but then again I'm on this weird analness about colors lately XB
Also thanks for the faves and watch~ -wiggles-

Yeah, it probably would be distracting. I like the change you made to it. It's subtle but makes it come together very well.
Your welcome!

Whoooaaaa! Celeste! this is really awesome. Fantastic! Electric! You definitely should listen to more Beatles. XD You make really super AWESOME stuff listening to them.
I think the only thing you could really improve on, is giving the background a little more depth. Like, maybe just a touch of red on the upper half behind the animals to give a more foggy look?
It kind of looks like a cave painting. You could maybe put a texture to actually make it look like that? I think you should try some textures, or play with a little bit of highlights or an extra blend mode with weird opacity/fill settings to make it look more glowy?
This is really super cool, it really POPS!

yaaayyy! -wiggles-
Hmm, maybe..I think more depth would help...I thought about overlaying a texture, but I've never done that before so I'm not sure how that would look, but I can try it. Maybe I should try to imply that they're in a cave? Hmm...I think maybe they just need more environment...
Thanks Shell!
