This is amazing, considering you're learning! I wasn't nearly as good when I started...now I'm pretty good at pencil stuff! Keep drawing, you could be the next big thing if you really are new to the art! I have nothing to say for suggestions besides keep practicing and you'll go really far! Good job!! The vision is so real, and everything is just beautiful. I was shocked when I saw you were learning! This is very original and how you kept the cave so empty is great, where most would have filled it, therefore ruining the image. I love it!

I think this is really good since I am a fan of the art of Bastion and Transistor. The bear is well drawn, the wide space is portrayed in such a way that the bear doesn't get lost there. I like the earthy colors and the composition; it portrays the natural terrain adequately. By presenting just a few elements, it helps the viewer to understand the image; there is no need to show a lot of things. Everything is well integrated as a whole. If you keep drawing like this, I know you will get far. Practice makes perfection e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

That it was I have come to realize lately; that the big simple statements should be my focus. Β To not be distracted by unnecessary details.
Many thanks! Β

Well, seeing as you're just "learning" to paint, this is pretty impressive! The solid and blocky colors give it a very rough and earthy look, and also follows a very impressionistic style.
I'm not really sure if I can offer much in the way of suggestions, though. It's very visually impressive and really catches the eye. It's also very simplistic so it doesn't overbear my eyes when I look at it. In the case of this painting, that's a very good thing. You really captured the emptiness of the cave that this bear is walking into, and all that empty space that doesn't have a lot of clutter helps strengthen that.
Beautiful job!

Much appreciated!
Lately,Β I'm really trying to focus on reducing the complexity of my composition down to the bear essentials. Β This image was giving me a ton of trouble, until I decided to take a big brush and paint over much of the unnecessary details. I'll try to push it further with the next one.

This is such a nice scene, the eye is immediately drawn to the bear, wanders, and then returns to the bear. Great job, Wildweasel1339!

somehow, this seems familiar... Did you paint something similar a while ago, or is it just me ?
(anyway, great work as ever. I really like it)

I've painted a few bears before, and I think all my trees and rocks have a similar look to them. Thanks

This is fantastic! I love everything about this!
Although that is how I feel too when painting...I'm learning but slowly. I think "...one unbearable attempt at a time." pretty much sums up how it feels to learn how to paint.

Really cool work, i like the composition and brush strokes!

nice scaling of mass, and contrast of value. I also like the "echoes of shapes" between the bear and rocks.
I would be curious to see some start steps or WIPs of an artwork like this one.

- Don't be too hard on yourself. This piece is gorgeous! Normally, I have this love-hate relationship with digital media, but you digital paintings always enchant me.

I love how this isn't just a close up of a subject, but actually shows more of what's around the subject. it's kind of refreshing, actually. And that's just beside the painting skill and color choice and everything else. I know you already know that it's great.

The wild and empty feeling of the cave are very poignant. For someone learning to paint, you did an awesome job!

Great first attempt... kind reminds me of that bear at the beginning of Skyrim.

I don't know why but...this painting says a lot to me. Every time I look at it I feel moved. xD I think it's because of the bear who seems so small is returning to its home, a place of safety and security. I love it. Β Good job!

I don't even know how to paint yet. So don't be so hard on yourself, I think it looks wonderful.
