Description
A werewolf and a kitty. I was going for photorealism, don't think I quite got it. I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong; it just looks "off". If you have any ideas, constructive criticism is more than welcome.Edit: on observing this piece a little and getting some feedback on it, here is my theory. I think rather than one thing being "off", there are a million little things that are "off". Note the angle at which the eyes are set in their sockets, for instance. They would aim unnaturally upwards. Small pieces of anatomy are skewed, small bits of lighting are not quite right; together they remove from the effect of the painting. I think I might try doing another similar artwork; I don't think I have the patience to go back and completely rehab this one, but we'll see.

Thanks Although, I did actually try to re-do this... never finished the second attempt, but it is *technically* still in-progress. So there may yet be hope. No promises though.

But it is very nice! But drawing is not a perfect picture of reality, it is thing that helps us in saying our emotions

Thank goodness for that, too! I do love taking something imaginary, though, and making it almost real. It feels like creating a portal to another universe.

I doubt that's possible, lol! I draw a lot in notebooks and random places, and it will never be practical to try and show it all off. But maybe I'll dig through it for the gold someday. You are very nice though
