This is really beautiful, you did a wonderful job rendering the depth of the woods. I love your used of color, and all the textures, and those light shafts you have drawn coming down through the trees. Creates a wonderful atmosphere.
Sonic and Sally are also drawn particularly adorable here.
Thanks, I think they came out better than all my other "couple" pics. Although now, every time I look at this, I keep thinking I really should have given the rays of light a slight yellow tint and it's going to forever bug me that I can't.
God this is good. Like, this is just so good. It's great. Everything about it is great.
For starters, there is your magnificent touch with the background. The way all the small, delicate strokes of the pencil adds up to these brilliantly-colored objects, the way it pulls you in with its subtle textures and unmistakable sense of dimension, is just fantastic, and I absolutely love the shimmering slivers of light flowing in from above; it's a brilliantly dramatic touch and you render it just right to leave it its power without making it overbearing. The composition is also fantastic. You balance all the elements together just right, framing the picture in this lovely, sweeping setting that just stuns with its gentle, natural beauty. Tucking Sonic and Sally in there, so small, so intimate, so comfortable, and yet it's the center that pulls the whole thing together; it's simply perfect. Likewise perfect is how well you distinguish Sonic and Sally from the background. Again, it's just right in its balance; the stronger colors and thicker outlines make them eye-catching and distinct, but also allow them to flow naturally with the rest of the picture even so. And of course, the calm, serene sense of emotion you invest them with is perfectly satisfying. It's just a lovely picture of a lovely scene, and I thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart for making it for me. <3
