Music Wip- Update- Color Help

Thanks guys! I bit more progress. I'm trying to figure out the design of the cords. Not sure if I can get this done in time.

[Chip Valecek]

@tessaw I love watching your progress. Its going to be a great piece when you are done. One thing I would watch out for is the cord going around the neck of the keyboard player. Maybe move it lower of her back so its not going to choke her. Also the cord at the top right leads my eye of the page, maybe bring that around to the left side to keep the viewers eye moving around the piece.

@tessaw Keep going this is looking awesome!

[kaitlinmakes]

@tessaw oh my gosh! This is Gorgeous! AMAZING!!!!! I love you color! I love your composition! I love it all!!!

[TessaW]

Thank you!

I had a bit of a set back. Someone on my online sketchbook suggested pushing the perspective a bit more, so I've spent some time figuring out how that would work. Thoughts? Left side is the original direction, right side is a rough lay-in of tweaked perspective.

It's awesome that you're up for experimenting with new ideas throughout the process of making this piece. I learn so much from people who take suggestions to heart. Personally, I think your original image looks more cohesive. The perspective in the piece is already very dynamic, to my eye, because of the environment. Having the musicians as a separate middle ground seems to let my mind settle in and enjoy the piece. With the keyboard becoming more of a foreground element, I think it draws the eyes to the other foreground objects (speakers) which actually aren't as important. Some thoughts to consider.

@tessaw I think it will be great whichever way you go but i do like the original of the two - forced perspective is a cool thing for sure - i think though that it becomes an extra element in a way which invites scrutiny beyond the composition itself - i find myself looking at the scale of a thing in the foreground and comparing it to the background...the edge of the keyboard closest to us is about four time as long as its' other edge...to me it seems like a dramatic change over a short distance but nothing else is quite following this rule - it is probably just me over thinking it though but the first one did not make me wonder about consistency of perspective and it looks really awesome - super nice piece!!

It's soooo good. Love the string lights!

[Jason Bowen]

I personally prefer the original.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

I agree. The first version looks better. However, i do like how the front guitarist’s leg is positioned in the new version than the previous.

[bnewman]

Late to the party. As usual. This is super cool! I agree that the original is looking best but also agreeing with @nyrrylcadiz that the legs of the front guitarist is best in version 2.

[W-Coats]

Great concept and you are working it out so well. As far as the two versions they are both good the keyboard is coming out at us (IMHO) is an improvement. Good work Tessa this composition is starting to sing!

[theemkat]

Those lights are so beautiful! This whole piece is done so well. I'd have echo a few others and say I like the first version the best, but with the guitarist's legs in version 2.

[lmrush]

I agree with @nyrrylcadiz I like the original, but really like the guitarist's leg positioning in the second

Another vote for the first version
