2 New Pieces

If anybody is interested, I made a speedart for the second one.
I'm looking for tips :3. Anything helps, especially from experienced designers.

 

I like the composition and the color schemes. I dont do these so my feedback probably isnt too helpful, but try making them not square. Play with opacity and the dimensions And try adding more stuff in focus.

Good focal points but I feel like there isnt much going on to look at. This is debatable. There are plenty of abstract shapes, but they dont exactly form a scene in my mind, you know?

Could use some more highlights (bright stoof).

Always love speed art! Keep it up

Edit: Try adjusting the overall contrast as well Darks should be dark and lights should be light. Try avoid greys (some of the shapes behind her are fairly washed out)

 

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to incorporate some of your tips into my next piece .

 

Work on lighting and contrast. Your piece is washed out and has bad lighting which means that you've done a levels adjustment or something somewhere that has blew it out. The point about lighting is that your light source isn't the correct light source.



Red = your light source
Blue = render light source

Also work on how you form lighting. Build it up with different pieces and don't just soft brush it on.

 

I don't quite get what you mean by "Build it up with different pieces".
Could you elaborate a little bit? Also, for the washed out part, I always felt that looked sort of good, am I the only one?

How is this in comparison to the other? I duplicated an applied image with a B&W gradient on soft light at about 60%, adjusted where the lighting came from, and upped the saturation and vibrance.

 

Washed out doesn't look good. It messes up the color vibrancy and just make it look bad.

To build up lighting you start with lighting in mind from the beginning. You use or edit elements to reflect the actual lighting of the render/stock.

 

Thank you. Will definitely give this a try in my future works.
