      @Tristan-Lapetz Great start! Try working on tonal contrast between the darks and lights; maybe some variation in the linework *unless you like keeping the linework consistent.

      I hope that helps.

        @Tony-Barber Thanks for the feedback, that's really helpful! After uploading I realized it looked pretty washed out too. I'll definitely push contrast and strengthen some of the lines.

        Happy creating,
        Tristan

              This looks so good! The contrast looks better in the recent photo and the colors seem more vibrant, too. I also like that you chose to use only two colors. Well done! My two cents would be to add a little more story to it. Why is this moment important/interesting/special? Ex: Are they realizing that the package they're delivering is actually for them?

              Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

                Normally I'd say more contrast would be good. BUT if this is in a freezer, and you purposefully wanted this to feel really cold and lonesome, then you did a great job!

                  Hey! Looks great. I find the version with higher contrast between warm and cool colors packs a much greater punch.

                  I suppose this isn't what you're going for, but the ground looks to me as if he's standing on clouds. Is it meant to be a puddle? I'm not sure if I'm the only one who reads it this way, but with the blue color, the way the shadow seems to radiate from a central point behind the figure, and the large white organic shape on the ground, it really looks a lot like the sky. You could lean into the surrealist aspect of it, but that might not fit the prompt you're working from.

                  A bit more contrast in the size of the boxes could also make the composition a bit more interesting!

                  I really love the color scheme, it's very simple, but the contrast between one cool and one warm color creates a nice effect.

                  Please take everything I say with a grain of salt, I'm a complete beginner at this!

                    @Frost-Drive Cold and lonesome is certainly what I was going for, thanks a bunch for the feedback!

                      @sam-draws I never saw it that way and I very much appreciate the intriguing direction you've offered! I need to figure out why exactly it is but that's the way our dairy cooler floor has eroded over time I believe. It is kind of a worn off layer of paint or protection of some sort. I love the clouds idea though, I really do. That could do great in bringing in an aspect of daydreaming at work!

                        @aprilshin What wonderful guidance, thank you so much! I will absolutely sketch up some ideas to see how I could've added more story. This one has to get sent out soon but I'll certainly keep your advice in mind moving forward and looking backwards. Thank again, this is fantastic input.

                        Happy creating,
