Description Contrasted a painterly background with hard edges of an "animation-friendly" style of illustration. I really like this look. If I went back and touched this up, I would definitely add cel shading and highlights. I'd probably make the horizon line/break between background and foreground clearer too, but I do think the shadow does a decent job of leading the eye from foreground grass to the trees in the background on its own.

Oo the shadows in this piece look so good and the little details in the background give it a lot of depth, as well as the composition with the light and shadows leading the eyes as you mentioned. Great work!Β Β

Thanks Aspenleaf!! I'm glad you feel the light and shadows are leading the eyes right! Sometimes eye direction is a tricky thing to get when you're staring at the same piece for so long~
