Blue Monster

Here we go with the latest offering. It started as a quick sketch and I worked it up to a complete'ish state.

I really like this. At the minute though the monster looks normal scale, which makes the girl seem tiny rather than the monster huge. If it was framed from her pov it would make his scale larger I think and more dramatic. Also the girl gets lost. Apparently a good rule of thumb is to have the area of focus to have the highest level of contrast to draw you eye. I think it you made the background darker your eye would focus on the mouth of the monster then the girl.

That makes sense, I think i'll paint another version of this and see if I can focus the image a bit better.

I like the faint sketch lines the are left behind a they look like part of the monster back. I might be cool to add more of the creatures back faint like this, it add perpective to the monster. I like the idea of a large monster having to crouch down to scare the little girl. To help the girl stand out and draw the eye try lighting the values around her to cretae more contrast. Always does the trick.
Nice one
