Hi Natali! The biggest strengths I see are the ways that lighting and color create a tangible mood. The storytelling is strong and I want to dive into the painting lol! I think any kinks in perspectives sorta add to your style and will be worked out with time and practice. Overall a very strong foundation. The areas I see that could use improvement is creating a separation between the forms. Linework could do this but also creating contrast along the edges of shapes can help build definition. I think using a greater variety of brush textures and blending brushes would improve your work instantly! It has the generic digital smudge blender look that certainly gets the job done, but you lose a lot of character in all those beautiful color gradients. Hope this helps!

Hi! I really like the direction this is heading, your handle on light and shadow make this piece fascinating to look at. I think by pushing the lighting and atmosphere, almost exaggerating, could help the composition and design. Regarding the composition, I think defining the edge between the foreground and background would be helpful. Maybe adding more atmosphere between the viewer and the town in the background could create contrast between the foreground, and would add to the vastness of the town. Adding some high saturation highlights on the slabs of stone in the sunlight would make the foreground sparkle and glow! I hope those ideas help!

Hi gwench! These figures look great. I like how the bold linework gives the figures visual weight, especially in the torso. Cheers!
