Asked for help
Well, I tried to implement the critiques and I think I m more happy with the adjustments of the first one, rather than make a new one with changing the perspective and creating a new image. I think it could work in the end, but in the end it ll be just a bit better for a lot more time and effort, so I think its time for new projects. What is your opinion?
In the first illustration, we see where the light bends and circles back, which helps move the eye around the composition, but in the second, those turns are hidden. I think I like the first better for this reason. The colors are striking in both, however!
I'm amazed at how different these images feel between compositions. I'm finding it hard to determine which one I like more. The second one (blue hair) is a bit better because the figure is closer to the center and all the action is revolving around them. In the first one (red hair) the center of the composition is a hole looking through to the background and a rock perfectly placed in it's center. I feel more movement in the first but in the second I feel more clarity in motive for the illustration. Each composition is great because they both convey a different mood. It just depends on what mood you want to communicate to the viewer. Pulled back broad scene full of action in the first or a more intimate and subtle movement in the second. Great job! Call them finished and move on to the next. :)
Hey Jonas,
Nice idea, and painted pretty well. I wanted to give you some ideas on composition because I think this and future paintings would benefit.
I did a quick compositional sketch to show you how you can add more interest and create some cool ideas to your image. This is just one possibility, you could do many other thumbnails to find other compositions. I hope this is helpful for you. Just remember, composition is the first thing you should nail down before you begin any other element to your image.
Keep working :)
Hey, I think the composition is already pretty cool! I think it would really pop, if you adjusted your values. I'm attaching an example to know what I mean: Right now, the values are very similar, which makes it appear rather flat. You can tone down the background and have strong highlights only on you focal point (the glowing orb and the face) to make it look more appealing.
