Input, hmm... Nice balance between light and dark. Nice contrast with all the hard edged straight line and the soft round tomato. And the window frame, interesting angle plus coming form the top left corner it leads your eye right to the tomato and the horizontal sill stops your eye and lets the viewer look at the tomato for a while. Perfect!

Exactly what Arlene said and for the reasons Gail listed! This is going to be very cool.

I think you should extend it slightly on the right (facing) in order to put the tomato in the sweet spot, and to fix the problem of that little bit of window frame just to the right of the tomato leading the eye out of the picture. Other than that, this is quite amazing...very dynamic!!

I really like this Paapu! It's got a lot of contrast and a wonderful viewpoint.
I can't wait to see you develop this into one of your lovely drawings.

Wow! Ok, so when are we going to get to see a WIP on this one????

Other than that, this is quite amazing...very dynamic!!in this case i disagree. this is one time when you can break those "rules." why? because it is so dramatic and so contemporary looking. I can't wait to see the wip!

Thanks nicole:)

Ozoo thanks..I had that thought first but then I overruled it coz I will be loosing that shadow cast on the tomato by that strip of the window. Plus It was too dynamic so I thought this will be negligent. ( hope am right :rolleyes: )

Tony, Cindy and Arlene.. starting on it soon!:D
