Hi Peter, I have a couple of thoughts. I wouldn't have known from just the picture that the goblin is begging. I think placing the candle and food a little more next to or behind him (instead of in front of him) might help the composition. It would also clear more space to see his hand which is a really important part of the begging gesture. But it depends on the story. How central are the objects to the story? Is he offering food? Are they enjoying a meal together? Or are they just for ambiance?

Here is what I did after watching the structure basics critique video. I would love to see more people's homework! And I appreciate any feedback.

Here are a couple examples of my homework from this lesson. It is difficult to see past the organic forms! I want to work on 1) Capturing the simplest shapes without getting distracted by details and 2) Line Quality. Critiques appreciated! I would love to regularly post homework. I hope this is the correct place.
