HI! I am from Comment Tag and my word was ''Friend''.
I like that they are together in the middle of wild nature. It is romantic. Beisdes you can feel true friendship when you and your friend are in trip. Then it is possible to see true persons's manner. Talking about backround I like how you drew sea. There are lots of blue shades. I also love how you drew waves. They are wonderful.
I think you could practice more on drawing people. Their faces looks little bit flat. You can add more shadows in your drawing. They would make your art live. It is good that you made shadows on their clothes but you could add some more at backround.
I said all my opinion. Keep drawing! Your tag word will be ANGER.

The first thing I noticed was that you outlined alot of things here, which takes alot of time and effort, so good job that on. However, because of that, the characters, who are the focus of the picture, are slightly lost. Even though they are in the middle, my eyes wander around the picture alot trying to take everything in. So if your intention was for the viewer to notice the characters first, all those lines aren't helping. My suggestion would be that, you could keep the outlines, but make them less visible by changing the colour and/or opacity. You could even skip the outline for the background and paint the trees like you did with the water. ^^ It's the same issue with the grass, it looks very harsh and stands out too much compared with its surroundings. That being said, I do like how detailed it is. You just need to balance the focus. You could also try blurring the trees that are further away to give it more depth. I think another aspect that makes it distracting for me is because the bottom half and top half look like two different styles: soft, blended, flowly vs. hard and controlled. One more minor thing, the boy's arms are too close for that pose.
There is alot of great things going on though. I like the detail you put into their hair, and the girl's expression is perfect. I think the size of the boat in comparison with the characters is also good. (It's hard to size objects sometimes) The colours also match the atmosphere of the picture. So overall, good job~

Thank you so much for your detailed comment!
I totally agree with what you said about the focus of the picture. At the beginning, I was unsure whether the trees should have lineart for them or not. I began with painting them, but afterwards I decided to line them since I'm not very good at painting with no lines. I agree though, that if they weren't lined or if the colour of them was changed that maybe the characters would stand out more.
I'm glad the boat was the right size. I was concerned when drawing it that it would be out of proportion! xD
Thanks again ^_^

Yep it was good~

Hello, Kevin 'The Skull' Anderson from rojectComment: here. You want some feedback? Well, here you go. And try to take this with a grain of salt if you can.
First of all, excellent job on the outlining! I really admire you for that. It has a unique presence in this picture, and it truly shines with the design of the characters, the boat, and the trees and sea. I also notice that you were inspired to take a more creative approach to this picture as it seems to have taken a life of its own. I also see that there are many shades of blue, green, and grayish-yellow. There's even a shade or two of pink or red. The pineapples could have been drawn a little better, however, but that's no matter, because whatever you lacked in when it came to drawing the pineapples is also made up for by yourself in the trees and sea. I also notice that around the area between the guy and the girl you could have just made the area in question several shades of tan or pink or even both of the aforementioned. But despite that I believe that you have really given me a great impression here. There's a lot of value to be seen in a picture like this, especially when it comes to certain aspects of it, and it's really up to the professionals to determine how you did, as well as the person who made the artwork to begin with, which would be you. And even though that is, you definitely deserve some big ups for drawing and posting this. Excellent work.

Thank you for your detailed critique!! ^_^
I thought I should mention though, that the fruit in the trees actually aren't pineapples. The trees are pandanus trees, which are trees that only grow in Australia; and they have yellowish seeds that look a little like pineapples. xD
I agree with the extra lighting though, and also the other points you mentioned here.
Thanks again!! >u<

Nice work. Shading is nice. Colors are fine. Two of them looks kinda unnatural (i know manga style and everything but this could be done better. Well, you will improve. That's for sure.) What more to say? Job nice done.

Amazing work! the colours all support eachother, yet they stand out. (Don't even get me started on how well the water looks!) And the shading with the hair is well done too. Awesome!
