Love composition WIP feedback welcome

[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
