I’m working on an interior.. it’s totally my dream space to go hang out and be surrounded by books.
Let me know if you see something off, it’s still a WIP.

@AngelinaKizz What a fantastic space! Love it.
I think there's something with the balance of the image that stands out to me. It feels a bit heavy on the right-hand side, almost as if you had been drawing so many books on the right that you kinda ran out of steam on the left? Similarily, it feels heavy on the back and middle ground, with not enough to balance it in the foreground. I also feel like it's begging for some organic lines to break up all of the straight perspective work you have. One way of solving all of this could be adding something soft and organic in the foreground on the left, maybe some draping or a plant or a statue of a cat or something... I think that would tie the image together in a very nice way.
(I think that there is some perspective nit-picking I could do (like the bottom left of the steps), but I don't know if this is what you're after? Is this an architectural piece? Or is it important to you that the perspective is perfect? If not, I wouldn't spend more time on that aspect, to me the space is convincing as it is.)
Gosh, I always feel like I sound so negative when writing feedback, sorry if it comes across that way. I really do like this piece, and the amount of work you've put in to making every book different is impressive. I look forward to seeing how it develops!

@Mia-Clarke thanks Mia! Definitely not too harsh. I love the input. I’m still working on it, and I’m adding more books and things in all the nooks and crannies. I added a couch and it looked so out of place being soft lines, it really bothered me. I do need to add some softness, but maybe the more I add, the better it’ll flow. I love the idea of some drapey fabrics. Thanks,

So this is where I’ve ended up. I think I need to work on the values, but I’m having trouble deciding on light source, since a big store like this or library would have multiple areas of lighting.
-
@AngelinaKizz I was gonna mention 'more organic lines', too. I think it looks better now with the plants, and texture added. For lighting, does it need a big chandelier or something? Is that too 'beauty and the beast'? Lol.

@AngelinaKizz wowwww!

I could see a chandelier in the back corner where the mystery books are, any further up, I feel like it’ll take too much of the focus. But maybe wall sconces?

@Mia-Clarke thanks!
