Tammy - beautiful shapes ....the boots and the floorboards! In fact they look brand new...but I'm only jealous because my old boots have a mouth...yep, the sole and uppers parted company!

Tammy I think you can guess what I am going to say, Darks! the boots need some dark areas especially between the back boot and the front, also in the fold of the front one, but I do like the grain on the wood on the floor, if you was to blend this with a tissue so that it wasnt prominant you would get a better result, but dont blend so much that you lose the lines completely.

Tammy. Nice , no not nice but great, boots. I sort of agree with Gordon about the darks, I would like to see some shadows on the floor to better ground the boots to the floor., and perhaps some darker shading on the area just above the soles. That would give the shoe part of the boot a bit more volume. All in all a very good drawing. The work and effort you have expended over the last year or so is now paying off. Keep it up!

Thanks all, I agree, I looked at the areas of no shadowing, and darks; I'll go back over it, and do the changes and repost. Thanks.. Take care...
