Critique - Nicole Jekich - Cavern Painting



Nicole,

looking good!! i saw this awhile ago and its come a long way.

id pick out your points of interest (im guessing the lantern and the dude himself and the eyes in the background and possibly the tunnel at the end) and really direct the eye to these areas.

also a location like this is a great opportunity for playing with light and color; less with line and shape. with a soft brush and low opacity, darken up that BG with your darks. use the same brush with your lights and brighten up the area around your light source.

finally, get that glow going with the eyes too; remember these will also emit a bit of light as well, so use that same brush techique up there as well. with a very vertical composition, contrast between light and darkness will really aid in telling the viewer where to look.

overall moving in the right direction. just feel it needs that last ummph. hope im not not stepping on your toes with the overpaint, but find it easier to show not tell.

hope things are well!!
