Another study of a random-ish scene from Zootopia. Also my first ever full-sized painting in acrylics! Well, sort of. The aspect ratio on movies is kind of ridiculous, so in order to match it a significant portion of the painting is just black bars, but still. I took a full sized piece of paper and filled it all up with paint, so I'm counting it.
Background looks a bit better this time around- two reasons for that I imagine. Firstly, I actually planned to do the background from the start, so that helped, and also the subject matter is a bit more along my strengths, as compared to urban situations. Not entirely happy with the smug bastard himself, the way I'm doing fur looks very scratchy, I'll need to find a way to smooth that out. Colour-wise I think it's alright though, even if the texture is a bit eh.
Anyway, lemme know what you think! Still a truckload of work needing to be done on my acrylic painting skills, but this is proving to be decent practice I think.
Characters and everything are owned by Disney of course, I'm just doing some learnin'.

its actually something they left in from the original draft of the movie... when they first planned the movie, they wrote the story along the lines of nick opening a fun park for predators. in this story he bought a cheap building outside of the inner city, that used to be an old factory/warehouse, yet was large enough to be rebuild into a fun park. its rumored, that they rendered different models of said building. this could be one of the rendered drafts for it, since it looks similar like old factorys/warehouses. in the old story, judy follows nick to find out about the building and its purpose... its not far fetched that a conversation/apology was already planned at this location, so they probably just let it remain inside the now changed story plot. after all its pretty random that nick just happens to be there (in the original story it would be logical that judy could find him at his place of business, but in the actual storyline, she finds him at this spot for no reason at all x'D)
scratchy fur? nah i find you made an good job on this i could never do this with acrylics,. the fur is fine enough and comes really good out for my opinion... I would only try to play an bit more with shadow effects in it.. . its great u can proud of it.. so much peeps here wish to draw like u do
Maybe

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe both of those are mainly digital artists, and while they're both very good and I could certainly learn from them, I feel like my main issue is controlling the acrylics right now rather than any strict drawing issue, which a digital artist wouldn't really be able to help out with too much. :P
The contrast is better in this one than the last one you did but still a little too flat. Try going a little more aggressively with the colors and the black; I think that could turn out just the right amount of vivid for this one! For general, realistic art, this is probably just about right, if only slightly on the flat side still, I'd say.
Keep up the good work!
