This is an awesome picture--made even more awesome by the fact that you did it with real media. Paints no less. I have much respect for you. I lvoe how you painted the sunbeam, and the shine/glitter hitting all the metal. You've got quite some skill at drawing humans, too. I particularly like how well you've protrayed the symbolism here...excellent work! I do have one suggestion, however.
You've got all that dramatic lighting...but not many shadows. I'm certainly no expert, so I could be wrong...but it seems that with a light source that intense, there would be more, and deeper shadows. ie-maybe the wall away from the light should be a lot darker. Same for the areas of the person's body that are out of the light. They would be particularly intense, I think, because they are so close to the light source.
Again, I'm far from experienced when it comes to lighting, and I apologise if I am incorrect. >^_^<;
Your painting is very beautiful, as are your other works. Keep up the great work! bookmarks page
