Interesting lighting, and such great depth of colors and detail. His face is... it's just amazing how varied yet complete it all is; how it all wraps together. And the increased blues in the shadows makes for an interesting appearance.

Something seems off though... Just a very little, miniscule thing, which I'm sure only I would notice. :P There's almost an aura around his face, by which I mean the overall green seems a lighter, much more consistent shade than the rest of the background, which has more blue and darker green splashed about.
(I'm disregarding the brown, which I think is the color of the paper?


I always seem to notice incredibly minor stuff like that. :D

That's crazy with a capital "G"!
Hey, thanks for the comment. It was a fun color study. And about the "aura" - you notice everything! ;) Please keep letting me know when you see stuff like this.

My mistake was doing the roo first and the background second. Pastels are rough. I couldn't get into the areas near the roo very heavily and still keep the loose appearance of the background. Plus, I used big pastel chunks that are blunt. So I just didn't try too hard. :D

And yes, the paper is brown!

I really like this. The colours you used are very bright, but that's one of the things that makes this drawing look so good.
I love how you used blue and green on the kangaroo's fur; gives it a lot of depth. And the texture of the paper gives it a nice touch too. Lovely! =D

Thanks! It's great to hear what people like and what makes it work. Your comment will certainly help when I paint this guy full-sized.
