color, contrast, shading -- AUGH

Help please!
I liked the foliage until I did the trunk. Now I like the trunk. They don't match and I don't know why and can't fix it unless someone please can explain what's wrong here. Help!

The Princess and the Pea
Sunday, July 27, 2008, 04:25 PM EST [General]
What happens to a Real Princess in her Happy Ever After?I suppose she might trade in that uncomfortable dried pea for a Sweet Pea of her own. Not that she'll get any more sleep in doing so, of course.... I'm still just practicing watercolors. I'm too cautious, still. And too caught up in the safety of coloring within lines. Still, must start somewhere. It's all watercolor and ink on coldpress (I think) ACEO/ATC blank from Ellen Million (of course). Copyright © 2006 Kirsten Talmage

On July 18 or so I got an email from someone wondering if I'm interested in their printing some of my work and pitching it to BigBoxStore. Getting some folks more experienced with contracts to look at this and advice. I think I wish to pursue it, not so much for itself but as a step forward, an opening. Lots to do. But that's always the case. Busy breeds busy, or something like that. coupon!

Why did I choose to show pink shirts? How unlike me... Nimue's Sorrow ACEO ATC

Only I don't have clue about illustrating crystals and light. And I 'm dissatisfied with the composition overall. So. Please Analyze! Given I'm stuck with these proportions (it's an ACEO ATC), what should've gone where? How should colors have been changed? How can they change further? It's all watercolor and ink on coldpress (I think) at the moment, but I have paint, black ink in various thicknesses, and colored pencils. Copyright © 2008 Kirsten Talmage

Hello Kir, thank you for being part of the EF community - I have really enjoyed looking at your art and just loved your Christmas Mouse, I agree that he was probably helping though we tend to have voles and shrews to assist us here! |

I have thought of sketching people in B&N but I'm not good at getting something down quickly... I am one who is very detailed. Check out my website and you will see what I mean: www.aheartofmersea.com |

I've had lots of little Bonsais, which this reminds me of, but the trunks are always much darker and shadowed... perhaps that's it?
