I like the way you used the rough texture on the shark's hide. The one thing I'd keep in mind is that in water, the color of water shifts depending on depth. So subconsciously in the viewer's mind, the fish is swimming upwards. However, within the piece itself there is a strong diagonal downwards that gives the piece an uncanny feeling and momentarily takes you out of it. All in all though, you were super daring in how you applied technique.
I really enjoy the textures that were used on the fish, and the gradient of the background texture as it gets closer to the shark. It does look like you had a small problem with the clipping on the nose of the shark, but that could be easily fixed by just stretching your texture out to make sure it covers the whole shape. Also, the blue background colored gap in the shark's mouth is a bit distracting. All in all though, this is a very nice drawing.
I love the texture you used for the shark, and i think overall the shark is really well rendered, especially with the inside of his mouth. I think i would have liked to see a different texture on the bubbles, or maybe a different highlight on them, for some reason they just stick out to me. But that might just be me, really great overall though!
The shark is something that really stands out to me as a well thought out part of this piece, but I'm not sure if I agree with pattern you used on the smaller fish, i think you should have maybe chosen something that maybe wasnt as busy?
The simplistic use of shapes and texture in this works great together. I think the shark's teeth even hold a lot of charm on their own, as the placement looks handcrafted, an the overall piece looks like cut paper. Because of the cut look, there are a couple sections that look slightly too mechanical, particularly the shark's eye and the fish's bubbles. I would love to see those made with a pen tool rather than the ellipse tool.
i really like how much the fish pops in this piece. it has a great texture. in fact i really like all the textures you used in this. i think they are all very fitting. i also love the background and how the shark is comming out of the dark.
It's really nice that you applied both a drawn texture and some photo real textures for practice. Now that you have a hang on the bitmaps, I could see how you might apply this to other textures. I agree with other people that I like how it's applied to the shark and how the position of the bigger, darker spot is placed near his mouth. I think it would be interesting to see a color change on the fish-- maybe there could be a subtle color like the other pieces in the illustration?
