My vote:
Submission 4:
-THEME
I'm going to stick my personal opinion in here. When I think of contentment I don't think of happiness as such, but the satisfaction of one's life. I won't deny that this picture has contentment within it's imagery, but it isn't what I personally see. I see the element of happiness and joy being the majority. But out of the 3 pictures (I'm allowed to vote on) this one had more of the element of contentment than the others.
- WHY do you like it?
Oh man, where do I start. It is such a lovely and vibrant picture; colours AND atmosphere. It is clean i.e. the lines are precise and the colouring isn't messy. Not only that, but the layout is FAB! The foreground and background just fix perfectly together. It gives me a smile on my face when I look at it.
:D
- WHAT really gets your attention?
The EXCELLENT colouring/shading. The trees are gorgeous, and the sky, WOW. It's so blue and bold. But what really gets my attention is the amount of detail you put into this! All with watercolour pencils? O:
Honourable Mention : Submission 2 AND 3 (^3^);
Reason: Ack, it would be really unfair to just choose one or the other, both had an equal value of a little something that I liked. Which is?! Well, Submission 2 is well done. The detail of the fur is clear and the brushes (digital) used for it gives the fur a soft, realistic texture. Very pretty ^_^
And Submission 3, well what can I say?! It just just so abstract that I personally would never had that kind of creation to draw this let alone THINK about drawing this xD Thumbs up for both pieces
:D
