RIP Bob Ross. His show was great...even though I never learned how to paint.

Never too late!
Love the Almighty trees. lol
Didn't this dude die back in 1995? BTW, you don't have enough Van Dyke Brown in this!!! MORE VAN DYKE BROWN!!!
SergeantLarge responds:
Lol you can never get enough Van Dyke Brown!
And you're right, he died a long time ago. I just discovered his videos and the joy of painting, so you could say I'm a little behind the times
I like Bob Ross as well! here's the review
I think the folds on the clothing are not on point
4 fingers only
I don't get the shoe
The background is not bad, but i think you could've used more of a 'fog' effect, the lines are too sharp
That's my opinion tho :) Happy painting, and God bless
SergeantLarge responds:
Thank you for the constructive criticism. The folds could use some work. I am still getting the hang of different fabric thicknesses and looseness/ tightness.
The 4 fingers was a stylistic choice; I wanted his character to stand out and went with a cartoonish feel. Per your suggestion, though, I may decide in the future to include all 5 fingers.
The shoe is a little weird, I admit. I tried to get it to look like he is "ascending stairs" onto the cloud. I'll work on it next time!
The background could benefit from a little more fog, especially since that would further separate it from Ross. I mostly tried to adapt his style for that part, but a little variation could go a long way.
Again, I appreciate your feedback and opinion. Happy painting!
