This. Is. Amazing. I love it so much! My favorite thing is the sky because it lookjs so real and so awesome...plus I've never seen such a beautifuly done sky, with the exception of the real thing. The whisp coming out of the person's hands is beautiful as well. It reminds me of a fantasy movie or something along those lines. The tree is very well done as well, but it looks a little bit small compared to the person below it. That is my only complaint. Other than that, all I have to say is one last sentence. I envy you.
The colours in this picture are quite wonderful, and this is an area you excel in in most of your art. The sky looks very beautiful, and the different shades of the clouds and the stars gives it a very dreamy feeling.
Compositionally however, this isn't so strong. With this I have found my eyes drawn to areas that don't seem to be intentional. Having the main figure of an artwork placed in the bottom centre is seldom a good idea. The vector of the light and the tree too draw the eye towards the clouds rather than the figure, which should be the focal point. A rather wonderful tutorial can be found here [link] that explains it all so much better than I ever could! I understand this was a practice in backgrounds, but backgrounds have their place: a backdrop for the main action or figure, or interacting with it. For me it seems a loss for the character not to be observing the beautiful world around him! The dynamics of the butterflies and the sky seem to be competing for attention, which isn't such a good thing to have in a picture.
Another thing that really needs to be considered is the size. This is a rather large image, which makes details great to see, but difficult to see the image as a whole. Viewing pieces separately you've achieved your two goals; a study in lighting, and practice with backgrounds. Being able to combine these two aspects in a smaller, more cohesive manner would make for an image with a much greater impact.
If I were to suggest particular changes that could be made it would be these: move the boy and tree to the left section of the image and maybe raise them a little to draw focus. If you wanted your could also angle the clouds to use them as a vector line between the boy and the sky. I'd personally also experimenting with how the ethereal butterflies' lights move. That use of light is a fantastic tool to control how an audience views an image!
I hope this was a help and I wasn't too critical (which is a bit of a bad habit of mine). This really does have some fantastic elements, and is brilliant for a first try, but does need some practice. Heh, thanks for reading all of that, keep it up!
DJLAHBVFADLBVHDLBVHODRGHLSKHSDKLDJSKLDJSKL So much amazing-ness OwO How the hell did i miss this oTL Not like i'm one to talk but i think some tutorials could help with the clouds, they're great but making them look more professional couldn't hurt <3
Ireally Like how you made the clouds- Dark but a nice illusion of the moon shining onto them The nice magneta and viloets in the sky just make the atmosphere relaxed, and it's just so dreamy♥. But yes, it's very nice, and the perspective of the background is wonderful! Just keep on doing what you're doing- it of course will come naturally like with all of your drawings as you progress, and you'll know whether to make the scenery more soft or more defined
