Soothing colors & I like how you captured the movement of the wavelets.

This is a really nice portrait of them, it looks like a painting, actually.

Oh my goodness, he's really serious about chomping on those fingers! But I like how cute he looks when he's done taste testing & just sitting there thinking. Or maybe planning his next attack?

Oh, these are arty! I especially like the hare, there's a great feeling of motion & you used the wood well to highlight their streamlined shape.

They do look sleepy. Hope they had a good nap.

Oh, I really like this and it's something different for you. It's wonderfully composed & feels very wild, with no human elements, which is welcome. Cute little bird too. It's a strictly western species, which explains it's unfamiliarity to me. But would make a nice pen & ink drawing.

Really like their gentle expression. They look friendly, too.

I've found that doing detailed thumbnails or prelims saps some of the energy from the piece, so that
s why I don't usually do a lot of details on my prelims. I'll block things out, but save all the shading, colors, etc for the final piece.

Walnut is one of my favorite woods, the colors are so rich looking. I like how this one's style is a bit futuristic, yet also traditional at the same time. #woodcarving #artyutensils

Those are all cute frogs. And I can see how well camouflaged they would be, though they're all different shades of green.

I don't think that most people realize how much of an artist's time is spent in planning things out. That deciding on placement, colors, elements & shading/lighting is a large part of doing a picture, often before a pancil or paint brush is picked up.
