I’m overall happy with my painting and think the strongest parts are the colours, lighting and atmosphere. what I would do differently next time is give the creature a more dynamic pose and make the composition more dynamic. I did put the camera at a low angle looking up at the creature but it didn’t have much of an effect. I also had to replace the tail as it wasn’t reading well and the overall image looks flat as the creature isn’t crossing over into the foreground or background. although I reviewed the design and exaggerated it I think I still could have made it more interesting as the silhouette remained similar throughout. I also think I should have tried experimenting with different colours for the creature and thought more about how it would interact with the environment and depict that, rather than have it standing there.
