It's really very interesting to see how you developed everything from your sketches to finished products.

Just take the bottom one as an example, the two palms are perfect in the finished product (I was really intrigued as to why the trees worked so well in that drawing, that I went on to do an analysis on the curves, if you'd like I can send you the two main things I found out by uploading them on one of those image hosting services and sending you the link, but I shant without your permission)
Anyway, here the trees are a little tacked on, but they aren't in the finished product is what I mean.

There is one thing I like about the sketches on top,is that the (I assume) older fellow has the fur pattern while the one holding the fruits doesn't, makes it seem like a sign of age/status, I hope I'm making sense but, none the less, lovely sketches!

Sure dude, by all means post it! ^^

And thank you for your glorious feedback!

Post more, but playing Battlefield at the moment ><

Wonderful, here's what I meant, this is only the most obvious one (and understandable to everyone) but the trees' curvature looks pretty parabolic, and so I made a couple of quadratic graphs and superimposed them and saw why it looked so right, so the tree on the left fits in almost perfectly with her back, and the tree on the right with her, whats it called... well, anyway, you can see for yourself now. There are more relationships between the curves, but these are the most obvious (the both trees connect to one another with a different curve)
Anyway enough talk, here's what I found : http://www.freeimagehosting.net/ima.....a735d2a984.jpg

(it's not exact, but it should never be or it would look forced, you hint at it, and that's what made it beautiful)

Oh thank you! You know you notice a lot more things about my art than even I do. Originally, yes the trees were just sketched in as an afterthought with no real intention. However, when I did go back and do them digitally I didn't even notice how they matched up, though they did just 'feel' right to me. This seems to happen a lot in my art, as you've pointed out, perhaps I've got some innate eye for that kind of thing, haha! (I wish)

I'm fairly certain that going by feeling is always the best course of action, and I'm sure you know what looks good! But I also think that one shouldn't force these little details whilst drawing, or the outcome will be artificial.
For now to the arts! (Why do they write coffee...It looks like a big beer glass to me, anyway, cheers!)
