Good use of colors. Two things bother me about this. The digital background, and the fact that the bears body is cut off. Other than that, seriously well done.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Polar bear - please critique</title><link>http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/thread/173119.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 Mar 2013 18:20:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2bfc0e10-a4d2-4b68-ab7f-f11d606ed6fe:173119</guid><dc:creator>uberzilla</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/thread/173119.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=24&amp;PostID=173119</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Your at a stage (already developed a solid knowledge base) were you really need to post close ups for more&amp;nbsp;aggressive&amp;nbsp;(not mean - just pickier&amp;nbsp;critiques&amp;nbsp;- which is a good thing - the better you get the more nit picking they get) critiques.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As an example - you have already made the most important leap - fur patterns and forms on the animal. Beginners often take a while to get that part (that it is not unlike landscapes). So you have the form well enough and the fur patterns. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For you it is now about the refinement and strengthening of skills.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Polar bear - please critique</title><link>http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/thread/170698.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 23 Feb 2013 15:31:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2bfc0e10-a4d2-4b68-ab7f-f11d606ed6fe:170698</guid><dc:creator>Charlie Gunn</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/thread/170698.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=24&amp;PostID=170698</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Your are doing great. &amp;nbsp;Again, I like the fur. &amp;nbsp;The background design is very nice too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Polar bear - please critique</title><link>http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/thread/170648.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Feb 2013 23:10:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2bfc0e10-a4d2-4b68-ab7f-f11d606ed6fe:170648</guid><dc:creator>hanmar</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/thread/170648.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.artistdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=24&amp;PostID=170648</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi, I am &amp;nbsp;looking for any criticism, comments and advice to improve my acrylic painting (the background is digital).
