@josephcow Yeah I was really throwing my hands up at the end and ended up throwing a blur filter over a lot of the background..
@CBinns Yes it's definitely something I want to work on. This new painting I'm doing is going to be a good opportunity to do a variety of materials.
@spec I always want critique, lol. I actually prefer people giving advice on what to work on rather than a compliment. You bring up a lot of good points. I did pretty much exclusively person-on-blank-background art for a long time so I really am trying to make an effort to break out of that.. The ideas you mention are definitely helpful in improving my awareness of the various tools artists have for making illustrations
And here's the start of a new painting I did today. I think that it's got a stronger sense of a story going on than some of my other work at least. Now that I look at it again it is feeling a little cramped though.
