Just finished my first project in Gimp which is a graffiti. Would like to get some honest and critical feedback
Cheers
Since no one has volunteered an opinion, I'll offer-up.
First of all, I think it looks better than anything that I could draw, so..."well done"!
But, on the critical side, how many intended light sources do you have? On the surface I would expect the fire to be the light source, but the shadows cast do not:
1. all align with one another
2.project from the campfire as a common light source
I think the combination of the two send a message to the viewer that "somethings wrong", and that kills perception of depth
Additionally, the leaves on the tree branch all appear to all be the same size, in contrast with a perception of depth where leaves further from the viewer should ostensibly be smaller. If you put them more in perspective with appropriate scale, the branch might look less like something drawn on a bag of Keebler cookies.
In that same vein (depth), I think the petals on the purple flowers at the base of the tree are very well done, while the red flowers on the other side of the drawing ...decidedly less so.
But overall I think your drawing is really cool.
