Tonight is our Group Critique- so exciting!

For Mark Mitchell's Make Your Marks and Splashes: A Power Course on Creating Effective Illustrations for Childrens Books, Magazines and Other Media for Children
we have a monthly critique for members.
I always get super excited and butterflies in the stomach!
Here is mine for this month:

"Basilisk" watercolor, by Dyann Joyce

I think part of the growth experienced in a course is looking at other's art and getting feedback on yours. Its very supportive and helps not only with improvements, but many bounce off ideas that can help make your art the best it can be when getting it ready for a client, conference, submission, or publisher.
I will post notes on my critique soon!

UPDATE: What I thought was cute and whimsical evidently the beauty was in the eye of the beholder haha, as he was described as a "slithering nightmare" by Mark!
