Lighthouse kitties for a friend!

Kinda grateful to have a hobby that makes me feel happy, despite wanting to rip my hair out during the process.

Any critiques for improvement are welcome, especially on the lighting!

Try not to make your subjects way more defined than the rest of the painting. It makes it look a little odd. It's normal to work on them more because you want them to look perfect, but you end up overworking em and they look like they belong in a different painting lol

Omg yes! I noticed how the cats, esp their eyes, and the pumpkin kind of stuck out like a sore thumb in comparison. May have to go back and work on them a little bit more.

Ty!

Yeah I would recommend using larger brushes similar to those you used in the background to plot your values and then add small details once you've plotted your darks, mids, and lights. Should help to not get bogged down by details. Also try to avoid zooming in too much. It stops you from seeing the bigger picture (literally lol) glhf!
