I'm guessing highlighters from work.

Yeah, I couldn't see the details on my phone and just noticed a few of the real vibrant colors. Those all look really neat. I especially like the ones with a lot of blacked in negative space.

Agreed about the floating foreground.

The effects of the light and rain are really well done and the overall composition and color choices are good too.

I have a couple general suggestions.

I think you would get good results from initially picturing the composition as swaths of light and dark so that you don't end up with so many mid-tones filling up the painting.

I also think more can be done to make the bush at the bottom pop, especially placing some more dramatic highlights on the leaves. Since the flower is the only red object and the center of attention, you might consider leading the eye through the painting to it with splashes of less vibrant warm colors in different places.

E: accidentally quoted myself

I was trying to specify that the leaves might look more present with warm yellow highlights and leaf portions.

Al! posted:

thank you both.

i think foreground actually ended up more that way when doing color adjustment at the end. what i should have done is do the adjustment and then some touch-up afterwards, and also build up more and darker shadows on the right column

i also see what you say about more warm highlights

edit:

i did something i rarely do and revisited it for a moment to sketch in the suggestions and yeah i think it looks better



Yeah, your improvements look great. Good job!

It can be really tough to get the leg/torso ratio right, especially from the side for some reason.

If you aren't doing this already, I recommend measuring with your pencil at arm's length to confirm.
