This would be an ink and pencil drawing I did in class last week.
I was bored with little to do, so I drew this up. I did his antlers by putting some ink on the page, and then blowing it around with a straw. 3nodding Does anyone remember doing that in elementary school?

The only thing I'm not satisfied with is the breath of air... it doesn't look... whispy enough, I guess. Any advice on that part, or any other parts I overlooked? thx~

I really like the deer (apart from the lopsided nostrils) and I feel the background as a whole doesn't do it justice. I wish there was space between the trees instead of just BAM TREE! And perhaps fading into the back??? I don't know how to explain this u__u

Same for me; trees should have faded more into white and not have been jammed together like that. c:

As for his breath I think it would have looked better if it was transparent. Like, maybe some light penciling and have it fade into white? I hope that made sense.

and thanks to the both of you for the advice on the trees... i'd meant it to be sort of stylized, but i see i failed at that. whee

Oh, I thought he was in a wooden shed. rolleyes

Yeah, very nice. The soft shading perfectly matches the subject.

I like the background although I do think that it should have less contrast. If you faded it to white a bit so as to remove it from the subject, and maybe removed the outline from the breath puff you'd have a better effect.

the stylism of the breath doesn't fit any of the rest of the image. Even it should probably have a more organis or realistic approch.

Personally, i dont mine the background with the trees being crammed together, but you may want to show some depth by darkening trees that are further back. You could them do the air puff mostly with your eraser to get an outline-less look. if you do at white space between the trees, you will loose that option. i think you might want to go darker to balance the solid black horns.

I like the trees as is, it gives the picture a pile of contrast that I really like.

Actually, I just can't help but love this picture. TREE HEAD. LEWL.
