I quite like the colouring, especially the saturation, but I'm a bit of a sucker for saturated colours, so I may be biased. I also like how you used lots of rich red tones, which gives the Picture a sensual, warm and homey feel to it. I particularly like how you had a bit of a play around with light and dark, which gives the impression of how just after dawn light looks like and adds a sense of "drama" (I don't know a better word for it) to the piece.
Really good work .

Thank you, muchly! I'm very happy to know that you like the colouring. I like saturated colours too! There just life and intensity about them.

I love the colors. They are wonderful. The lighting, also, but I think you could have made it a bit darker to give it a more seductive feel. Her pose is great for this picture, but her left are looks a tiny bit awkward. That may just be me, though...
One little detail that could be fixed is eye contact. Her eyes are good, but the man looks like he's looking at something out of the picture.
Overall, you did a great job.

Thank you very much for your comment. Something is definitely wrong on the left arm. I'll correct it as soon as time allows! I can't wait to start working after all the awesome critiques!

I love the colours, they are well coordinated and it is a perfect tone to convey the emotions in this piece. The stillness yet the hint of a story not told is mesmerizing.
One thing I'll criticize is the bolster cushion on the left, it either looks like it's on too much of an angle or it shouldn't be there. Great work, though!

gppr In reply to jonathoncomfortreed [2009-10-15 13:25:49 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I agree with that cushion being odd.. It was meant to be a fluffy blanket, but something's wrong with the volume...
Thank you very much for your feedback!

This is a really pretty picture! I live it a lot.
Okay, here are my critiques!
The light lines around the piece just don't fit, like in the center of her back, elbow, and knee. A softer, more subtle light would be better for this, I think.
I love how you did the hair and the bottom of her dress. The folds on the floth are fantastic, though I think that I don't really feel the roundndess of the skirt. Her right arm is a LOT longer than the left arm, too.
The way that you did the lines near his crotch makes him look disconnected. I feel that there is only one leg, really, and no left thigh under the blanket.
I really love teh hands for the most part, though his right hand seems flat and smaller, more feminine.
I really love the hair. The head seems a bit flat and not as big as it should be.
I like the textures that you used on this and how the light reflects.
The bed doesn't seem round on the left and the bright light on the cloth on the floor just seems unnatural. The cloth would be a lighter color, yes, but not white and fuzzy.
I love the composition overall. Great work!!

You are so right about those lines, they should be softer! I will correct her arms. I think I should shorten her right arm and lengthen her left. I will revise the folds on the crotch and the shading to show that missing thigh. Her head seems small to me now, if I increase the size of his head, do you think I should increase the size of hers too?
Thank you very much for this detailed and helpful feedback. I means a lot to me that you took the time to do this.

celestialsunberry In reply to gppr [2009-10-14 22:00:57 +0000 UTC]
I think that her head is more in proportion to her body because she's so slender. It may be the tiniest bit small but I really think it's great. I'm glad my feedback has helped. So has yours!

Great piece! The background is amazing, I love the deep reds and the oranges! I think proportions seem right.
With colouring, I think you should add some red highlights on the guys skin near the drape, and under the womans dress I might add a bit. I find purple to be a great colour in small doses for skin colour, it looks very natural and suits it well.
I love the eye contact and the poses of the people, I think the girl looks really awesome, I especially love her legs.. Dunno why.. I'm a leg man I think lol

Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm glad you like how the legs came out. Using a little purple is a great suggestion!

Oh! lol forgot that. Also forgot to say, The lighting is amazing, the way it creeps through the gap in the curtains and the bit on the ground to match it is VERY well put in!

The lighting is beautiful and soft, and I love the movement in her pose.
Looking over the comments I think what I have to say has already been said, but-
Her [viewer's] right arm is too thin at the top, and her [viewer's] left arm is a bit unnaturally bendy, and her forearm is too short. Your upper arm and forearm are the same length.
I also think her hips are a little big given the rest of her figure.
Lovely, I adore the colours.

Thank you for the detailed feedback! I'm a little confused, however. By viewer you mean him?

Ginnabean In reply to gppr [2009-10-14 16:59:23 +0000 UTC]
I'm pretty sure they mean her arm, on the viewer's right. Which...since her back is to us, is also her right. XD

She is going to take the top off isnt she?
Very nice picture! Even thought little too dark for me(not the theme but the lights)
Maybe if you could brighten it a bit, or something. Or is it just my computer that is going dead xD

Yeap, she is! I'll look into the brightness... I has been giving me lots of trouble. Thank you for your comment.

Wow! What a beautiful (and romantic) piece!
The details in the clothes and fabrics, and in the seams of the tent(?) look fantastic.
The only thing that catches my attention is the girl's right arm, right up near her shoulder. Her upper arm looks very thin and the crook of her shoulder looks almost too defined. I'd suggest fading/blurring the line of her armpit and widening (a very tiny bit) her upper arm. Perhaps, even putting her arm in front of the edge of her shirt.
Anyway, excellent work!
Dan

This looks...seductive. She looks like she's taking off her top! Gasp! The anatomy looks fine to me. The colours seem to suit the scene very well. It might be a good idea to put the club icon in your comments to. Honestly, nothing bugs me enough to point it out!

Thank you, Seremela I'm happy that you like this! I think the colours are a little off, still... (misadventures with an orange layer in a laptop!) But there is something romantic about the light that I liked and therefore decided to post.

I think they look fine. We always seem to find something that we think is wrong, but it is very romantic. Leave it!
