@Braden-Hallett haha wow didn't see this concept coming good job.

I was thinking that the expression of the old lady could be more intense? Maybe she is angry and surprised at the same time? (like what the F i just heard?!) kind of puzzled look as she is thinking about it? I picture that she wouldn't have a clear looking direction in this situation (like when you focus your hearing to a sound you cant see - you will have a blank look)

I figure that this might hurt your composition tho so its up to you, but you can try it maybe idk.

My priority is to create a portfolio right now, but color and light are one of my biggest weaknesses. So I would love to squeeze this in

Welcome! Love hearing about your re-discovered passion - good luck on your journey!

I am looking forward to seeing what you have in your sleeve!

Hi @xin-li I think that the composition And values works well! I dont have problem with readability at all also the colors are great.

To the second point: i was thinking that maybe softly adding purple And Orange might help. (Orange for some little lights maybe) And i would add a mist or something that would help readers to kind off imagine their own scenery. I would approach it very lightly (soft transitions etc..) add Just as much details so the readers can imagine the rest. (basicaly i imagined Will Terry Winter scenes)

Those are my thoughs About it you can do whatever you want with it Hope it helps somehow.

OH my thanks for all the recommendations @CLCanadyArts and yeah i listen to podcasts all the time. 3 point perspective is of course my favorite one, but chiustream is awesome too!

Artcafe with Maciej Kuciara has some great episodes too.

Besides that Will Terry And Jake Parker has really great videos on YouTube that you can Just play when you are drawing.

@Robert-Maine Thank you! Glad you like it

@Rachel-Horne thank you! Maybe it is because i was watching all the vintage Autumn vlogs before adding the details
