Sorry about thatâŚ
What were you planning to draw?
Some raptor, probably velociraptor.

Good job! In this art piece, youâve really captured that prehistoric feel, with not only a dinosaur but many primeval fish swimming around too! That being said, I can I name a few improvements to be made for next time. All art stems from the idea of having a focus, or core element. In this case, the viewer is left feeling uncertain where to look, as the dinosaur takes up a similar amount of space to the fish and also to the seaweed. Ideally, the fish and plant elements should be smaller in comparison to the dinosaur, as I assume thatâs the main focus of the image. There are several methods artists can use to bring the viewers attention towards the âfocusâ, but size is usually the easiest to implement.
Secondly, the sky. Skies are notoriously hard to draw (especially clouds, I despised them for ages), but using real skies for reference until you can draw them off by heart would be a good idea. Maybe practice drawing different types of clouds as well, such as long whispy ones, large fluffy ones, somewhere in between, etc. If you look at night sky, youâll also notice that stars are typically smaller than shown here. If drawn too large, they could be confused for snow. Aside from those points, this is a really solid piece where your creativity shines through. I look forward to seeing your next entry in the competition!

Good work with this one! Instead of a typical dinosaur scene, youâve taken the more literal approach of drawing a fossil (a nice twist on the theme). I have a few points that could be made to improve the artwork, the first being the overall design. With context, it is clear that this is a fossil. However, if this image was taken out of context, the audience would be left uncertain what the artwork is of. If the dinosaur design could be emphasized more, perhaps by adding a larger body, this would be avoided.
Speaking of, the colors used could also be sharper to make the image clear. Right now, the grey bones donât contrast all that well with the yellow rock. You could make the bones a little whiter, and darken the rock as well. If you wanted to, you could also add shading to create depth as well. If the fossil is slightly jutting out of the rock, there could be a little bid of shading on the bones. This would make the fossil stand out quite a bit more, and improve the artwork a lot. Aside from that, good job! Youâve pushed the limits of the theme in a way I was not expecting, and I hope to see your next entry for Round 2!
Congratulations to everyone who entered! The first round was a little lacking in entries, but hopefully next time more of the forum can join in! Thanks for the participation from our fantastic artists, and make sure to tune in next time for Round 2 (To be posted soonish).
If artists have any queries, send me a pm.

That. Looks. Awesome!!!
I really like the sprouts growing on the jungle giantâs back. The atmosphere feels more⌠jungle like, at least more than my drawing.

Just a tip instead of copying the link from imgur, right click on the image itself and click copy image address, and you get a better link for the image
