Drawing in Flash(8)

An assignment for my Digital Ink & Paint class; we were charged with drawing an entire little scene and colouring it in Flash. This is my first time completing a project with the program, but I have been using PS for a while now.
My original characters, Timmy and The Knight, resting in the woods:
(est. About 2 hours from start to finish)
Anyways, I considered this a finished product and turned it in, but I'd still like to hear what you folks here have to say about it. Always looking to improve myself for next time! ^^
Thanks,

The way the knight's resting against the tree is kinda weird - it has to do with his right side - the side touching the tree. It seems like the anatomy perspective is off a little. Also, you might want to devlop the patch of earth underneath the grass the knight is sitting on - it looks a little bare, this strange strip of color. Maybe add a little more texture to it. Is it moss? Then add a few curly, springy lines in the shadows. If it's dirt, make some more lines like the ones on the rocks, or around the knight's feet.
Is the slingshot kid holding the boulder? That's what it looks like. The shine on your knight's boots is alittle awkward and the color of his clothes blends a little too well with the tree. I like the idea here though. Good luck on your assignment.
Nah, I wouldn't say that.
Supernothing-- There were so many issues with the kid, I was getting sick of looking at him. >< At the end, I said "good enough". Wonky? No, no... it's... um, my style.
Tam-- About the trees in the mid/back ground, I did make them slightly darker, but perhaps it wasn't enough? Same for the boulders; truth is, I do tend to work with saturated colours. I'm not really sure how to fix that.
Oh, and the shine on K's boots. Don't really know what happened there. <.<;
Thanks tho'
P.S. (Red X? Lens Flare?? I'm confused by these things)
lens flare = old forum joke
It's not bad, but it feels way too "paint by numbers"...
The grass is green, the rock is grey, the trees are brown...
What you needed to do was setup some triad or overriding color choice to DOMINATE the scene. What if it's early morning and everything has a yellow tint to it? You could make the whole scene in Yellows, Greens, Goldens and dark Seinnas. These would all fit in a nice little color pallette and would help the colors along much better.
The drawing is fine, considering it's flash.
Keep looking at commercial art and try to pick up on the color usage next time. It's very fun stuff to practice.
Hmm, "Paint by Numbers," you say..? I think I may have a real future there! (They still make those, right?)
Seriously tho', I know what you mean. It's something I hear a lot, and I really need to start experimenting. =_= Thanks for the imput~
Give them some focus! Lighter colors... something. It's really boring to look at as it is.
Also if you are using a tablet experiment with drawing with the brush instead of the pencil, it allows nice line thickness variation which this picture really lacks.
