The arm/hand of the human observer looks a touch small, and the slight half-tuck of the hand into the robe is a bit confusing. It makes me wonder if the tuck is significant; a clue to this individual’s emotional state. Beautifully rendered as always.

Thanks for your observations on all three of these Abbi. Good points and areas for me to improve.

Up until now, everything I’ve shown has been a previously completed piece of work. The insights and critiques have been good an useful. This is an actual work in progress, and not really something I planned, it just sort of developed as a casual project. The gesso on this panel is heavy and ridged, there is a streaked quality that I just have to accept. This began as a simple skyscape with a bit of land at the bottom. Then I decided I’d add the female figure. Not sure where this is going, but if it prompts and notions feel free to speak up.

I drew comics and graphic novels for many years, and started oil painting during the summer of 2016. I have attended workshops with Juliette Aristides and Noah Buchanan at the Bay Area Classical Artists Atelier.

Any observations welcome.
11×17 ink on illustration board. Jane (wearing an ape head for a hat) rescues Tarzan from the clutches of La. Not strictly canonical, as the very idea of Jane wearing such a thing is beyond the pale. But ;oved the image so much, I just had to see it.
Your rendering is beautiful. It took me a while looking at the image at thumbnail size to make sense of all the various limbs and sort out whose were whose. I wonder if you could play with values just a little more to separate the characters and make the image more “readable”.
Love your attention to musculature, especially Tarzan’s arm and leg. Very nice.
