Love composition WIP feedback welcome

[Chip Valecek]

Looks great so far, my only suggestion would be to add or move the characters over to the right some more. The right side of the image feels empty and the left side feels heavy. Unless you are keeping that area open for text, then I can see why.

[ArtofAleksey]

@Chip-Valecek i tried that but didnt like it. I’m going to put some stuff there but no characters

[braden H]

@Aleksey The first thing that comes to mind that'll fit in that empty space bottom right is a big ol' punch bowl mostly out of frame.

[ArtofAleksey]

@Braden-Hallett that’s what i was thinking! Im struggling to figure out what to put in the back against the wall. Maybe a curtain?

[braden H]

@Aleksey It could just be left as a dark space. Dances in gyms are usually pretty low light

[ArtofAleksey]

@Braden-Hallett yeah I put a single element in the back and it seems to works pretty well.

@Chip-Valecek hows this?

[burvantill]

@Aleksey this is looking good but I think that table is a little busy. I like @Braden-Hallett s idea about the big bowl. And for some reason the cane keeps grabbing my eye away. I hope you don’t mind but I played a little with the crop and foreground.

[ArtofAleksey]

@burvantill no I don’t mind. I put the cane there intentionally because i think it adds a little bit more story. And i see the bigger punch bowl makes sense but the right side feels emptier now for some reason.

[burvantill]

@Aleksey I agree. Maybe a different angle or perspective on the cane.

[ArtofAleksey]

@burvantill yeah that’s a good point. I flipped it and added a few more elements. I think using color and values with the spotlight will really help bring this together. What do you think?

[avfarrar]

@Aleksey Yeah. I think I like how this one is turning out. Keep up the good work!

[ArtofAleksey]

Ok so here is a updated version done in pencil

[ArtofAleksey]

I think I might scrap this idea and do a different one that’s more fun
