Sta.sh
To start off (which other critics have already mentioned), is the lighting. For the most part it is done correctly, but I feel that there is something off. For example, if the lighting is coming from the left side of the piece, shouldn't the arm of the girl on the right side have more shadow on it? Also the perspective of the shadow of the gun is off. It not only should be closer to the gun itself, but follow the same angle of the wall shadow. The way it is now makes it look like there is multiple light sources, creating a slight unbalance to the overall piece.
Another little thing that the artist may or may not of done on purpose, but bugs me is the last bar of color in the sky. I think he was going for a ground, but to me it looks to blurry to be a hard substance.
THAT ASIDE, I still love this piece. I am impressed with the wonderful texture usage as well the color palette. The soft, colorful sky creates a beautiful contrast to the harsh, battle worn building and solders.
Keep up the great work, I am a fan and can't wait to see what you will make next!
First off, I really like the whole style and atmosphere of this painting as well as the composition. I'm not exactly the best at composition so I can't put in anything detailed into that but generally it's good in my eyes. One thing I love about this piece is the amount of textual detail which is one of the strongest points in my opinion. The character poses look good and doesn't seem to have any flaws in them and their characters are really brought out.
As for the shadows something seems to be off and it seems to be the sky(in my opinion). There is very saturared bright colors used in the sky background however it does not reflect much off the characters giving the sky a bit of an odd element as a whole. In my opinion the sky distracts the viewer from the main characters because of the saturation and adding a little reflective colors on the characters will bring balance to the scene. Though the textures may be the strongest point I think it's a bit overused making the painting a bit overwhelming to approach as a whole. It's best to keep the main focuses of a photo detailed to draw attention to the subject. (At least that's what I think) Last but no least, the wall corrosion just under the bricks seems a little off and the right wall should be darker because it seems that the sky should be lighting the it from behind. But at the same time your light source seems to be coming from the left.
Overall, I really love the greenish and bluish tints and colors in this painting. I also love the vision and the guns and the coffee. The biggest drawback would be making sure that lighting sources are correct and balance. But I like it.
I hope I wasn't too harsh and repetitive. Great picture though!
