Here is my rough draft, I still am thinking about incorporating the chicken in the big area of green space to add more to it. I have placed a bucket of chicken and a 6 pack of beer on the table, both of which i think i will re-do and draw myself. I wanted to add texture and a white border space around the picture to also give a worn feel to it and add to the piece itself.

I really like this. I love the worn texture feel you put in the poster. I actually like the way you have the chicken bucket and six pack right now. I don't think you need to redraw it. I like that those elements blend nicely with the rest of your elements. The only thing that stand out/feels slightly out of place is your tree.
Everything else has this nice chalky/pastel kinda feel and then BAM, hand drawn tree. So, if you like the way your tree is, then I'd recommend doing that aesthetic to the rest of your elements also.
As for your open space, maybe instead of a chicken, put some people lounging on a blanket or kids playing frisbee or something.
hey :)
i like the idea of giving a worn look really much. i think the way the chicken stuff and house looks like is cool, you don't have to redraw them. but get a tree that fits into that style and maybe also consider redoing the beers.
what about adding a checked tablecloth to break up the big areas of solid color? (maybe just partly) i really miss the chicken... it was so funny.
the font you chose is pretty cool...
hmmm. maybe you should think about the general composition again. right now it is not a big eyecatcher, i am afraid to say. there are so many places for the eye to look - all over the page.
I'd agree with the tree comment. It looks way out of place. The fluidity of everything else looks much better. The six-pack also stands out. Match the aesthetic of those, and it will help a tone. I'd also have to agree with Eva about the composition. That is exactly what I was talking to you about on Tuesday. It's closer now that the picnic table is larger and in the foreground…but think of a way to create a stronger/clearer hierarchy, and more of a focal point.
Aesthetically, it's looking good. Consider replacing the white with more of an off-white for an even more worn, vintage look.
This poster is looking great. The one thing that ruins it for me is that the tree has these really dark black outlines that don't show up on anything else. And I really LIKE the fact that they don't show up on anything else. That's actually one of the things I like most about this poster for some reason, so I think you should fix up the tree.
If you redraw anything, I think the best style of all of the objects is the one that the beer has. The thick brown lines look really cool to me and I really like the sort of chunky and rough appearance everything has
