2021/10/1. Good evening everyone. Here is my latest illustration. It is a scene from the daily life of a Puritan family. It is just an exercise. I have not copied the scene from any pre-existing image or work. I invented the scene even if I used different photos and images to recreate the various objects in the house. In particular, there are several points that I am interested in verifying: 1) the anatomical correctness and proportions of people (it is really difficult to draw such small faces) 2) the dimensions of the furniture 3) the perspective 4) the shadows 5) the colors are too bright and saturated and make the scene too cartoonish. If you have any suggestions to make it better please leave a comment. Thank you and good week end. [Since there is no specific section for this type of illustrations in the courses I am following, I post it here. Sorry for the inconvenience]

Hi Marco. There are lots of great details in this painting. The basket of apples really caught my eye. I like the interaction between the baby and the woman in the chair. The standing woman's left arm position feels unnatural. The arm's range of motion probably doesn't extend that far back. I'd try rotating her torso slightly to her left. The rocking chair looks a little askew. The horizontal parts (armrest, seat, rocker) should meet the vertical ones at an angle closer to 90 degrees. The overall perspective looks good.
