    ~The Natural World~
    There are so many examples of beauty in the natural world and so many strange and unique sights you can see. For week Two, I would like you to recreate a strange and unique piece of nature that you find really interesting. It may be an animal, a plant, scenery or anything to do with nature. Good luck.

    Comment: This is a creative piece. I like how you chose to show nature in four different ways. It will definitely give you quite a few creativity points there. I also like how you didn’t make them all the same size, it makes the desert and hills stand out more, which I think is quite effective. The main thing that let down this piece was the lack of shading. You seem to have coloured the drawing in, but there is little shading and the colour looks quite consistent throughout, however, this may be because of it being a scan-in. You have made the outlines prominent as you have make them darker, but I feel if a little shading was added, it would have made it that little bit better to make certain areas stand out. Apart from the shading, A great thought through piece, well done

    Comment: I didn’t know what to expect when you asked about it in an earlier post, but it wasn’t something like this. I quite like it. I especially like the sun shining through the water, that’s a nice touch. I’m struggling to think of something to say to improve it as the shading is spot on and I don’t have an issue with the anatomy of the tiger. Good piece, well done.

    Comment: I like the colours in this. I’m guessing you were going for a sunset/starry night. It is very unique as you used the reflection of the water to show the sky. I also like the touch of the lotus flower. It adds something to the piece so it isn’t just a reflection and it shows it is a reflection as it is floating on the water. One thing that I feel could be improved here is the way the water ripples. It ripples, but the image itself does not bend with the ripple, so it looks like the ripples are just floating, not a part of the image. Also, the rain drops are quite big, so making them a little smaller may look a little bit better. Overall, good piece. Well Done

    Comment: A watercolour piece. I like it. I think this is a good piece for a watercolour as you show shading and depth of field. There isn’t much I could say to improve this except for the wooden jetty, or whatever it’s called, looks slightly weird at the angle it is, but that is only something minor which could be because of it being a watercolour. A great piece. Well Done.

    Comment: This is a good idea, but could do with some improvement. I like the flower and basket of fruit. It’s a nice touch. However, I feel like the tree trunks are too thick and the trees look strange. Also, there isn’t any ground, which may make it look like it is floating. There would be a horizon where the land and sky appear to meet, however, you haven’t put this. No worries though, it is only a minor thing but makes it look a lot better. The other thing is, like with Brettles, there appears to be almost no shading here, I think that makes it look lower in quality. Again, it may be because it is a scan, but shading is really important in making it look good quality. A good idea, but it could do with a few improvements. Well Done though.
