Aha! We have the totally opposite problem in this one to that other one I commented on ^^ The subject here is too dark at the white becomes the subject here O.o Silhoettes only work if the shape is interesting and acurate. Again, you need to find where your light sorce is rather than giving it random shadows over it's body- they look sort of like dents... Those plants would look really good if you bumped some back or forward with darker and lighter colours over the whole leaf
Side line note- the denty looking sadows were a texture for fur- right? It' would be alot easier to show fur texture with short, skinny brighter lines in the lighter and darker areas to show lighting change. That's my 2 cents ^^
hey, thanx a lot for both your crits. ^^ identifying the light source and placing the shadows accordingly is definantly something i will be sure to keep in mind from now on. as well as making sure the subject of the artwork is clearly identified. you've brought many important details to my attention and it has been really helpful. thanx again. ^^
No prob ^^Done right, lighting is difficult to notice, but done wrong ,it stands out alot and sometimes the mind notices but doesn't understand why. Remember, artistic lisence can allowe alot of unnatral lighting, but learnt the correct way first Then you can break the rules safely

What Ark said there is so totally true. Learn things the right way first and then you'll know when to break the rules.
