Nice. The subtle hues and tones give the scene an anchor to the real world (which is fitting given the somber subject matter) e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Nod"/>

Adding to what *Celestial-Illusion said, I think part of the flatness stems from the overall crooked perspective. :\ The tabletop's edges are converging at a different point than the floor tiles (although, the ceiling's edge and floor tiles seem to be converging okay ☺ ) I think during the pencil sketch phase it would behoove you to use a ruler and plot out the edges more.

Another thing that would take away from the flatness would be the direction of your brushstrokes. Take, for instance, the strip of green walling that appears just behind the counter and below the window: if you painted this strip with vertical strokes it would visually separate it from the horizontal edges and give it more depth of field.

Anyway, it's a nicely styled piece with the subject matter of the protester nicely depicted. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Nod"/> Hope this advice helped~!

Oh geez a hundred words for a crit? Okay, I'll do my best. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Blank Stare)"/> Well, the first thing I noticed was that the background beyond the counter looks a little flat. The opening in the wall looks more like a painting on the wall than an extension of the background. Second thing I noticed (and I might just be acting picky), but I see brown lighting on the man's suit (is that from the light above him? I'm not sure.) but not anywhere else on his above the counter, like the top of his head. I can't think of anything else at this particular moment. So I'll just say good job! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/> <---108 words! Yes!

Very beautiful. You have a very unique style. I love how the objects in your works seem to have weight and feel to them, like you can touch them, it's hard to describe, but very awesome. Love your work.

I dont mind the "flattness" as they suggested I think it works fine with the situation, youre a very talented artist, and you decided when to stop working on this for a reasone

Very nice, I like the feeling this conveys. Reminds me a little of Norman Rockwell but it's a little gloomier.

i really like this however you can see patches of white at the outlines that make it look unfinished, eg where the blue of the man's shoulder meets the countertop. Maybe use masking fluid so you can paint closer in without going over the lines?
