*first comment dance* Welcome, welcome to the woods!! I hope you enjoy your stay here, though I'm sure you will!! Anyway, I was just passing by and thought I'd take a while to say "hi" and a few other things...You've got a great start on your gallery here. I think something that would help your art greatly inprove is if you try mixing values/ hues of color in your colored pencil pictures, to give the picture some depth. I find that complementary colors (red/green, yellow/purple, blue/orange) help with this a lot as well. You might also try looking in some anatomy/ art books to help get proportions right. My art teacher gave me a few tips too, if you want to I can e-mail some to you. Anyway, great start, keep up the good work!
