Pillow (colored pencil)


Here is my finished portrait of pillows. Thanks for the helpful suggestions. It is easy for an artist to "fall in love" with their pieces at a given stage and not be able to look at it critically (and without the emotion attached to the object). A friendly observer is often just the push one needs to go the next step.

  1. Wow! I really like that you strengthened the color of the pillows, and although I had my doughts about the aqua/cream background, it really brought it together!..The shadow under the bottom pillow also solidifies it and holds the stack down! Yeah!!!

  2. Nicely done, Karol! The gradation of the backgroudn is very effective.
