Check the length of your nose.

One of my final pieces. My teacher looked at it and said "huh, you know, 25 years i've been teaching black and white paintings and I think that's the first zebra."
Haha you'd figure there'd be more.

Watch out for the bleed on the first one, that's way too much water. Experiment with dry brush techniques; they're fun!

I like the yellow roses. I dunno if it was intentional but the difference in saturation between the ones in the foreground and middleground give it nice depth.

Zebra looks good, I like the blending of very intricate strokes with wide, simple ones. The black ink bleed on the left side is pulling my eye away, though, and it feels like his/her right front leg is unfinished. Otherwise a solid piece.

In the words of every painting teacher I've ever had:

Keep going!
