My first attempt at an Illustration Friday assignment. I was trying to go for a magical outer space/under water world beneath the boat and a bright, colorful world above the boat. I wasn't happy with the first version. I thought the sea creatures were distracting and there wasn't enough contrast between upper and lower worlds, so I moved on to version two:

The contrast is better here, unfortunately the sea creatures are still visible (not sure if I like that or not). Feeling discouraged, I decided to post another illustration that I had finished before, a woman adrift:

I figure it is important to post my failures as well as my successes, otherwise how will I learn anything and improve? Any constructive criticism is appreciated!
Woman adrift could also be called "woman electric". With all of that energy buzzing from her, how could she stay on the ground?
