Kevin and Dug

Description

[EDIT] I finally did it. I've been saying I would paint a background for this, and I did.

An assignment for Vist 289. Paint your favorite Disney character in the gimp. Kevin is not necessarily my favorite, but she and Dug are adorable! Kevin was super fun to paint, too! Such bright colors! *drool*

I'm actually really proud of this picture. It's the first time I have attempted lineless art in years.

Any suggestions for the background? I don't really want to leave it as a boring gradient.

This is a rather fantastic drawing. My best critique, that has not already been said ( or at least that I could see ) is that there should be a bit more of coloured lighting. Such as bit of yellow highlights on the large leaves. You can see effects like this when you hold a leave up to the sun. It gets paler when the light shines through, yeah? That would also help balance out what bright colours you already have, in case you don't want to add flowers or other bright items. Very slight tints of blues and purples against Dug's hair would be good also. While this is a skin tutorial, I feel that it is very good in this case, since yellows are similar enough to peaches.

This one, for all colours and shading, is also a godsend, though the chances of you seeing them are high.

Those are my suggestions. I hope they help :,)
