My final illustration from last week of previous class on CGMA - the art of color and lightRelated content

thank you guys for all constructive criticism. I know now about the problem with depth. The giant trees in the middle ground are too dark and they looks smaller then should be. But I tried change the light and add some more wooden sticks to the water in foreground and scene looks better now, but still I am learning something new every day

Really nice man, though a bit of a critique is that the depth feels a bit off like the city is much closer than it actually is. So it looks more like a small maybe halfling, or midget city. Especially with the birds in the backround, which if you were to put it to scale would be much much larger than a person, as opposed to what ya probably were going for as simple birds.

Really awesome!
for a couple of days ago. I like the out of focus stuff in the foreground, and the birds and buildings really give you a feeling for the size of the trees.

Incredible job. I really enjoyed it. I love how subtle and secretive the city itself looks.

I like the small city. They need a system of bridges for a railway and a harbour of live-steam "Putt Putt" boats. The trains should be like recycled Mamod live steamers or something.

I agree with the bridges, but the rest does not seem to fit the setting, imo.Β I see no evidence that this is post 18th century, a.d.

It's a lovely painting. I bet your class on color and light was really good, as this is a great example of both.

OHMAIGAWD!!! this piece here... superb and epic!!!
the details are excellent, every bark, every roots, every vines, the way water is reflecting the light and all...
I can tell you had fun and put a lot of effort! I salute you for that
th only thing I'd like to critique is that... the scale doesn't seem fit... from my eyes here its as if this normal sized guy found a lake city built by dwarves or elves... theres not enough distance. but its all ok. i know how hard you must've worked, next time you'll do better.
till then, congrats on your DD

I agree.Β The piece is inspirational but the perspective is off.Β Depth is created from size, position, overlapping, and effects like.. atmospheric perspective and the like.Β I think you could still fix it by making the limbs sticking out of the water get much smaller and more plentiful as you move up the canvas.
This piece does make me want to start drawing right now.. which is the highest compliment I can give.

Beautiful landscape! I love the colours and the idea.

Very beautiful scene, but the perspective is throwing me off a little bit. It seems to me like the village is miniature size compared to the man, rather than being far away, which I assume is your intent.

It's nice to have a DD like this on someone who didn't have much exposure here till now. Very good colors, great atmosphere,.
To be honest I thought it was a miniature village Γ first ! ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
It still looks miniature to me.Β What changed your mind?
π: 0 β©: 1
The birds' size is indication of the scale, showing that the trees are gigantic (they still seem pretty huge though), also the perspective with the wooden stakes seems tell that the village is very far away. But I agree it seems kinda closer at first glance.
π: 0 β©: 1
The stakes make the city look relatively close, and the birds look as though each'd take up the better part of a story of those buildings. Β Β And, a four-story building that close could not be lived in by normal sized humans.Β I remain unconvinced.Β It's still a great picture.

Well, you know, I kinda agree with what you say, but I don't think it was on purpose, that's all
We agree on your last sentence though, that's the most important !

It wouldn't be the first time I saw a Lilliputian city in a fantasy setting.Β Glad we have accord.
