Not much to say, just another painting to practice my pen tablet skills.
There are plenty of things I'm less satisfied with, so don't be affraid to give some harsh c&c

I really like your style..

The only major thing that bugs me is that it looks kinda sorta blurry at first glance.. And looks kinda flat.. But not really all that bad.. The major thing (which isn't really major) is that I see little white specks here and there.

Great work!

Yeah, the randomness of the one point/two point bothered me a bit. Keep in mind the rings (or platforms) on the lighthouse go along with the perspective too.

Yes.. Harry's got the idea

Actually, I think that the line sprouting from the light source, should sprout form the light source itself, not the shine in the sea... that gives us that the shadow of the lighthouse should run along the street, IMO, but I'm not sure...

Just my two cents...

thanks for the tips; yeah the perspective is off at many places, as I was extremely neglectful of the vanishing point, etc. Especially the lighthouse is way off, I agree, as well as the roof of the right house, which Evil left out in his correction.

The house to the left shouldn't have to be involved in the same perspective system, since it's not necessarily parallell to the right house...but since the roof still does, it gets sort of confusing I guess.

As for the shadows...I think the lighthouse casts a pretty natural shadow - just draw a line from the supposed lightsource, through the object, and it will mark where the shadow should fall.
The only place where the shadow is wrong is probably by the fence; the middle pole should have a shadow more to the left.

Anyhow, no mistake is a bad mistake, as long as people manage to spot them - then they are just educational

Cheers!

I thinks it be cool.
Perhaps you could play with the colour - making the foreground more bold and the back ground more faded - I think that could help with getting 'distance' in the pic.

Or not.

Hi Andail! I just love your style, it's so awesome. Period.

The scene gives me a warm, happy feeling, and that's what is important.

It's really good Petter. Just add alot of details and erase the little color flaws. Even though I know you prefer them
