December prompt WIP - Sad - Critiques welcome

@CLCanadyArts One thing I thought of also (if I'm not being to presumptuous lol) is the words could definitely take up more space and not feel crammed down there.
The 3rd-4th banister up is essentially dead space so you could push that back a bit with contrast and get those words nice and spaced out. I mentioned on someone else's post that Will Terry's words are really sticking with me when he said if you're going to put the words in there, make sure you're treating them like another element on the page that is supposed to be there with as much importance as everything else.

@jdubz That makes sense too. I was timid about it, and it does feel crammed into a tiny space. Thanks for your thoughts!

Switched the dining room to the front door. Enlarged the text. Did a rough color mock-up.(too much black at the moment, i'll refine the colors. I think I'm about ready to start refining and inking this. Need to work out perspective and detail. Thank you all for your feedback.

Nice! I think it's reading really well at least for me.
-
@CLCanadyArts I absolutely love this!
-
Wow amazing job, your composition, lighting, color, use of line for focal point; this is an amazing piece, congrats!
-
Is someone cutting an onion in here? Wow man you nailed the emotions with this one.

Giving up on this one for now. I rushed it again, but I'm tired of rushing art. I spent about an hour penciling this and it shows, so much heavy grain from quickly shading... Digitally fixed her face, and some light and dark values.
Too much going on between holidays, family showing up, people showing up, other freelance work that is more important.
I might go back and redo this in the future.

Overlaid some color, and slapped the text back on. Going to submit even though Im not 100% happy with it. Would still be nice to possibly get some feedback on at least the composition, feel, etc. I actually think the monotone adds to the sadness a bit.
