I don't know if it's just me, but it seems that the way you've spaced each object is relatively even, and that bugs me. The objects are placed so randomly I can't tell what the last person in the room did, other than eat some crisps and drink a can of soda. Like, I expect items to cluster more around the couch side of the coffee table because people tend to sit on that side. If there's a TV in the room, then a remote on the table pointing towards it.
You are of course free to clutter however you want, but since this is an artistic venture I thought it'd be useful if the placement of your stuff told a bit of a story, rather than just any random, sparsely furnished bachelor pad.

I also don't quite get your light source(s), because on the one hand I see sunlight on half the door, implying perhaps midafternoon light, on the other hand the shadow under the table, the top surfaces of the couch all tell me overhead/indoor lighting - what happened to the sun inside the room?

Feel free to refute/explain why you've done everything the way you have, as these are the observations of an amateur mrgreen

I'm not sure
you make some pretty good points in terms of organizing elements in a compositional fashion and in a manner of which tells a story that makes sense and what not

And yeah, my comprehension of lighting and how it works in an environment and such is a bit messed up. i got a weird tendency to paint things in an extremely bright and saturated manner to the point of which its unnatural. i wonder if watching too many cartoons and anime and such has had a bad effect on how i perceive and interperate things or something

Didn't take much consideration on figuring out composition, was more concerned about practicing painting stuff, thought studying something like this might help. though i'm often told that its best to paint stuff from life. im trying to work within my means^^;;

Actually I'm still essentially an amateur myself so ... there's only so much i can say crying
thanks for the feedback, its greatly appreciated. I'll try to keep these things in mind

[Neil_Whitehorn]

im not happy with it, feels unfinished

but also its like im making little to no progress with it so ...
and im getting tired of it.

my purpose now isnt to produce something solid like solid portfolio piece
its more about studying and practicing trying to get better with painting stuff

think i might benefit more if i worked on something else ...

hey, the lighting in this is really messed up, it really doesn't make sense wth
