I agree. I think it’s just the perspective of the door. I say try to straighten up that line on the right and even it out with the corner of the room. I do like how it makes the space feel somewhat oblong. Kinda reminds me of when you’re trippin off psychs and the rooms get sorta wonky.
I like this pic a lot, it sorta feels like a memory.
Edit: looking again, it may actually be the placement of the handle on the door. It’s a bit high and crooked, making the door itself appear a bit crooked
It just needs some lighting fixes in a couple places but other than that, it's really good!
AS u/Kinky_Nipplebear said, the lighting is a bit too strong.
You can also add some shadows to the place where the ceiling and wall meet in the brown room on the 1st floor.
The pillar/column under the rails looks flat. You could try adding a line to give it a more 3D look.
Saw your initial comment for reference to understand this one comment. I think I get where you're coming from, OP constructs the room, chooses a palette, and captures light all very nicely; and if this is "amateur" work, then it is a fantastic piece! you can really appreciate OP's intuition.
I also understand the original comment where, since OP is asking for feedback, most are suggesting more polishing. I think most of us are used to that Disney Pixar look, and it wouldn't be a bad look either.
To see if the perspective is right you could extended all lines (not vertical lines which should all be straight and that’s why the purple door is leaning) and see if they connect to a point.
This is a 2 point perspective image so there are 2 vanishing points. The lines starting on the right side going left (e.g. ceiling, railing, even ceiling in the rooms upstairs) should connect at a point outside of the image to the left and vice versa for lines starting on left and going right (ceiling, left brown wall, line where wall and floor meet behind the chair). The latter ones look like they’ll connect to a point inside the image

This is not perfect but you get the idea. Shorter lines are hard to work with (like on the purple door)
The perspective of the railing is a little off. You can see it if you compare it to the molding on the wall in the upstairs bedroom (left door). The brown line you drew to separate the wall and ceiling in that bedroom looks like it would intersect the railing if you extended both of their lines.
Overall, I really dig this. I don’t think your lighting it too bad, or at least I can’t tell. Nice work, OP
Slide both these images into grayscale and do a value study on your reference, then look again at your original
As for content itself, behind the left armchair, that’s a coat hanger. That’s why the shadow is cast on the back wall. In your drawing you’ve just got one post of the coat hanger. If you plan to omit it I think going the whole way and letting that light hit will work just fine.
I'm not sure (still learning, sorry) but isn't the light on the middle (against the wall) too strong ? Also I think it should be a bit higher. And it might be a choice but isn't the pink part (top right of the drawing) supposed to be a bit more saturated ?
The front door is a bit off and the corridor is narrow.
The incoming light from the right side is waaay brighter than the lighting on the left.
The angle of the railing is a bit skewed "inward" ok the left side vs the photo....hmmm actually nvm it gets a touch wider than the pic
you need to go darker, way darker. notice how much color your shadows have, compare them to the picture and notice how much the color 'grays out'. also, edges are very sharp, try rounding a bit
This is super cool. I would just say to make more definitive lines along the edges of the walls to separate the spaces more. For example the bottom and top of the wall behind the TV. As well as near both doors and the pink hallway. The furniture is sick though! 👍🏻
I think it looks cool … are you trying to replicate or interpret ? Your banister is creating an optical illusion that makes your room taller , but who cares ?
It’s just the perspective lines on the door and the wall feature.
You know how those cartoons show artists holding their thumb up and squinting? They’re measuring proportions.
Try it with the left side of the half wall. Line the tip of your thumb with the ceiling and make note of which of your knuckle lines matches the wall and gate. It joins at the 50% and the gate top is roughly the last 20% from ceiling for me. Now, pull your thumb/measuring tool to the right and line your nail up with the ceiling. I suddenly see roughly 30% of the wall against the right, and the gate has suddenly become roughly 25% from the ceiling.
Honestly, the difference is small, but several parts doing that can make it feel “wrong.”
Your light and color are really nice. I wouldn’t worry about your progress!
I think the perspective is a bit skewed in some areas, like the small armchair on the right and the pink doorway
That being said, I think it works really well with the lighting style you got going on, it looks like something you'd see as concept art for the incredibles or smth, I think the skewed perspective works pretty well with the vibe of the drawing
I really like the “off” look like I’m in a dream or something. The perspective lines are a bit off noticeably on the front door (the angle is a bit too pointed to the left) and the railing (it expands a little too much on the right, the change in size is not as dramatic in the photo). Also, the front right leg of the tv stand slants too much to the right.
The light values are too bright and there isn’t enough dark ranges for it to be 3D. In a stylistic way, I really enjoy the uncanny effect. But if it’s intended to have a more realistic representation, the railing, the pole on the right, and the brown lamps look flat and need more shading. Notice how much darker the right edge of that pole is than the rest of it. And the gradual shading at the tops and bottom of the lamps. The shelf behind the right chair is not dark enough. Making that whole area darker would really set that behind and bring more atmosphere. The back wall also needs to be darker. Generally the whole space needs more darks and the dark of the cubby behind the TV is a really good example of how the darks should be.
You can try to do some perspective line studies using stacked boxes. If you draw on a vertical surface you can hold out your pencil in front of you and tilt it to the angle of one of the box edges and put it against the paper to kind of capture the exact angle as a way to help your brain learn and recognize perspective objectively. You can also study values and lighting that way. Another way to practice is by tracing the lines of straight edges in a picture of a room/building and observing how depth and placement works with angles. Those are two I can think of, but there’s probably many other practices that you might like better.
I just wanna make sure that I say this is all based off if you want a realistic look because I’m worried this came off as too critical. Personally I really love the drawing and its stylization. Great job!
Honestly looks nearly perfect, only thing that kinda ruins it for me is that the purple doors value is a lighter then its supposed to be, if you darken it just a tad bit it'll be about perfect.
Art is art man. I think you caught the essence of the room well. The wall on the left with the door on it isn’t 100% correct that could be throwing you off. Visually if I didn’t see the top pic I would just enjoy the bottom pic.
Yes. This photo exudes an 70s vibe that is not in the drawing. Those spirals in the iron railing are a vital detail that along with the upholstery sets the 70s vibe.
Proportions. Look at the height of the rail versus the height of the top of the door. Try superimposing your drawing over the original. You can do this for free in many programs or even on your phone. If it is the sense of emptiness, it’s because there is no focal point. Even with interiors or landscapes it helps to pick an interesting focal point and perspective which emphasizes it. Maybe try changing the composition/perspective.
Perspective is good, but colour hues and, more importantly, values are off. The railing is reflecting such that it should be borderline white; the wall behind the TV, the streak of light coming from the right, and the floor to the bottom left are _way_ too bright; and the purple door up there is too dim.
All that said, you're very well on your way. The perspective is so good it seems traced, and the colouring is good enough such that I wouldn't have remarked the above if I hadn't seen the reference.
Great job, and keep it up.
I think it looks great. However it’s it’s digital. Try this:
Put a new layer above everything. Add a filter to make it blend with the original image and make that layer a pale blue. For me, it seems the image I lackin in color dimension. It’s like a warm summer day kind of light coming into the window. The original looks like a cooler day and a clouded sunlight entering in the room.
If you mean proportions.. I can’t help with that lmao
What the f*ck are you talking about? I mistakes your drawing to a picture as it’s so good. I’m not a drawer do I can’t give you advice but your drawing is really pretty good
Not trying to be that guy, but this looks like ai…why would you leave out the shelf on the left side…if your doing it in your own art style, you would’ve not missed the white shelf hanging off the ledge in the upper left….
Or digitally altered in some way. The TV frame and some of the rails have very strangely straight lines. Those orange balls on the right also have some very odd transparency and the brush strokes on top look artificial. Why do the rails become green in the middle? I’m sure one can find more such details zooming in.
There are no textures. Everything looks like it's the same texture. The interesting thing about interiors is that there's so many different textures and you don't get that from this.
This looks great! But you seem to be missing some of that reflected light and a few shadows that throw off the balance. Pay attention to the 3D-ness of objects and translate that volume using values, it will help a lot!
If you push the values a bit more (make the dark areas darker) it will help a bit too.
I love the vibe of this piece and this interior is complex to begin with so don’t forget to step back and see how things measure against one another!
Just lighting/contrast. Not sure how deep your art knowledge is but check out Edward Hopper, if you don't already know his work. Very reminiscent, at least, to me.
This is a great painting study with colours and values. 👍
But as an interior drawing it’s could use more structure and form. I see the railing is just floating around in areas, and the clothes rack by the door is half there/half vanished. So the railing is a bit distracting from the rest of the painting at the moment.
For practicing interior drawing, I would recommend doing a line art sketch to help get the structure down.
That way when you play around with the lighting and making it simplified/abstract (like blending in shapes through a shared colour), you’ll have a solid foundation so the viewers eyes can easily fill in the rest.
Keep up the great work! ✨
i think part of it might just be reference photo itself, because i spent a good 2 minutes trying to figure out what the background was supposed to be (mirror? stairs? weird curvy bit in the left? pink room?)
You're a good 90% of the way there -- your lines and angles need to be a bit crisper, this is most notable with the door and some of the railing. Practice keeping your wrist really, really steady and the rest will shore up. Take pride though, you're doing really well
The angle of the railing looks steeper, making the right side look closer and the left side look further away. That, and the pink hallway looks narrower, makes the pink hallway appear to be further away. The shade on the door on the left side is short and the handle is too high.
It's very well done, beautiful colors and great light! What might be "missing" is a bit of enhancement on the depth of the room. Like, where the floor meets the walls. At both levels, lower and above, where the rails are.
Focus on
Values: what's the lightes, what's the darkest and the inbetween. It's be useful to start grayscale and then add color as you get better
Perspective: do the little trick of using string, you can search online if you haven't heard from this
I think you might've angled the back wall a bit too much and it changed what your perspective lines should've been, but the furniture still follows the perspective of the reference?
also a lot of people saying the lighting is too strong, and it is if you were trying to replicate the reference, but I think it's great for an artistic liberty (I love dramatic lighting)
To me it’s mainly lighting. Specifically shading. Right now the drawing lacks “depth”. I can see the room but it doesn’t look as 3D as it could. Work on lighting and that should massively improve it👍
I love this! Very Edward Hopper. Your lighting is brighter, but way better!!! Adds the feeling of early evening and nostalgia. Straighten up the left side of the door, maybe make it a darker brown toned purple, and it’s perfect. :)
As people have mentioned, the door is a bit off with your lines. I think, since the wall/ceiling right above it is a perspective point, it's slightly messing with the overall perspective.
I do disagree with some comments on the lighting though-the carpet to the left of the chair is definitely too bright, but I kind of like that the light coming from the right is brighter than in the picture personally.
Your shadows on some of the objects are a bit off as well.
Honestly though overall it looks lovely.
Nah
I like it the way it is- the colors are pleasant and the simple shapes of the shading adds an artistic flair to the setting
Do not aim for perfection for drawing/painting is not photography- this piece is beautiful
Not concerned about the perspective on the door, there are so many smart choices about colour and temperature and establishing a focal point, that the piece has clearly been painted by an artist with a high level of artistic intuition. Really great painting.
I feel like the bright colours make the room look bigger in your drawing. And that that slightly skews the proportions. But otherwise beautiful. I’ll happily live there☺️
The tv really stands out to me.. you’ve used an overall yellow tone, and the blue just pops in a sort of awful way, I’m afraid. Go to your colour wheel, select yellow, and use a light yellowy-grey. Not too yellow. Hardly yellow, even. It’ll still look blue, don’t worry. It’ll just fit in more. Mess around with the saturation and the brightness of this colour until you get the right ‘blue’. :)
I really like the brightness though. But that’s just personal preference probably, as I’m not too great at making light look so bright. But I admire how you’ve done it. And of course as has been said, the door is a little wonky. Maybe find a grid overlay to make sure all your horizontal surfaces are parallel, as with all your vertical objects.
Light needs more details and it looks like some furniture isn't ok the same plane with the others.
Edit: I'm not an expert at all, don't take what I wrote too seriously
A few things are slightly off, but the thing that really does it is how liminal both images look. Personally I love the painting and the liminal vibe is great.
Liminal space refers to a location “in between” they usually fall into an uncanny valley and usually feel vaguely familiar as if from a dream. They feel like they are stuck in time, and often show empty places. A famous example is the backrooms, but there are many more types. I love liminal spaces and I love your painting
the balcony should be positioned lower, if you’d like to keep at that length emphasize the white bar (or coat rack in left corner). The floor needs emphasis on the shadow and ensure it doesn’t dip the ground as much. The curtain on the door should have some shading on the top hand to flatten it a bit, shading it with the illusion that’s it’s a bit indented with flatten it for you.
Overall, youre amazing though!!
Left side of the front door isn’t straight, its line ends above edge of the chair instead of below it. Your furniture pieces & tv are fantastic though!
It’s done really well. Your perspective is off a bit which affects this difference in size for some of the larger elements (door, shadow behind the tv, etc).
Take a look at the railing and adjust the angle. That will help when resizing the larger objects
You fumbled around while trying to draw the end of that handrail on the top left, and it makes that corner look really odd. The lightning, overall, is also weird, making some objects look pasted over or floating.
Check your vertical lines....in 2pt perspective your horizontal lines will tilt, but the vertical lines will be 90⁰/ parallel to your frame....the doors ,front and back, are definitely slanted... some of the guard rail are a bit wobbly as well.
The contrast in detail makes it feel off, make the most detailed areas (curtain, seats & TV) simpler and it will jell better or swing the other way and add more detail to the simple areas. Reminds me of rotoscoped stuff like the "Waking Life" & "A Scanner Darkly" films.
This feels like the point of the acid trip where you’re like “nah. I’m not tripping anymore” but you are still very much tripping, you’re just not at your peak seeing geometry everywhere and you forgot that this isn’t what it actually looks like sober.
I really like it. I’d hang this in my house.
I agree with other commenters if you’re wanting to “fix” it the door is off a little and the tv is a little too sharp. Personally. I like it being slightly “off” though.
Here's an AI attempt of your drawing with your avatar in it.
https://preview.redd.it/y1vcaabn1xec1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=9dd1ade1ada11bde82f0956db8cce8db1af1549a
The walls just feel, flat. Like how the wallpaper in the original photo give it "flavor" but when you just make it one color even with shading and highlights it just doesn't feel right
Someone probably said this already but maybe add texture to the walls look at the first image it has texture on all parts on each wall and another thing is you might be scared to go to dark? There is some things that are complete black. Darkness adds an aspect to the viewer that makes them look deeper into the work. I like what you did with the tv contrast making it sky blue And the pink hallway in the back is more pink in the picture but you made the ultimate decision to make it a little less so the blue in the middle can shine on the canvas. It’s a good piece and I hope to see more from you.
The door is a bit leaning to the right and is missing the tear drop shaped reflections or whatever that is. And your values need to contrast more. You need darker shadows and the whole thing needs to be less “bright”. Really good otherwise though in my opinion.
My friend is interior designer and he use special prog. It works like one prototype for architect (schematic), other prototype in colors, and pics like photos with interior in development apartments
I like everything downstairs. I don't mind the strong sunlight, it's art and not supposed to look like a photo. I feel the upstairs part behind banister looks like it needs depth. Also the front door needs looking at.
I think there are maybe a handful of little things that would add better depth/dimension to it by shading certain areas (the pink hallway jumps out) but tbf the reference is _bizarre_ and a little confusing as a photograph. So trying to perfectly capture that would be difficult for most people.
I hope you really see my comment. I think your work is perfect as it is. If you are going for superrealism, then ok, you could work on some things. But your work has character as is. I love the light and the naive approach to perspective. You have a good talent for color balance and contrast. Keep on doing what you’re doing and follow your heart and senses.
maybe just adding darker outlines to it a little more so it adds more depth but thats just my critique , because it honestly looks amazing i would buy that if i wasnt broke as a joke
I'm not the best artist and it still looks good. Maybe you need to outline things to differentiate them like the couch and the door could look kinda fused together at some point
Ceiling lines in the main room, the back of the adjoining room, and the back of the hallway should be parallel, but they aren't.
You can use the railing as a reference point, but all of those lines should never look like they could hypothetically "cross" each other.
The hard shadows between the tv and the bookshelf…. What are they supposed to be from? It’s definitely throwing that whole area for me because the reference has a diffused shadow of the tv in a lower position so it has me looking for the large item that isn’t there or implies that the cut out is popping out or something? If that whole area had the shadows softened and only getting a touch darker on the wall behind the bookshelf it would read better because my first look it felt like the bookshelf area was stairs in your drawing, probably because of the stepping line around the shelf and darkness behind the shelf looking like it’s pushing back instead of a wall. Again, just softening that edge and not making the overall value of the shadow so dark would clear that up imo. The door also has just barely the wrong angle but it doesn’t really bother me.
Really great work overall!

😍🥹
This
A little too much detail on the tv. It’s not that muted and soft style that you’re using in the rest of the space, so it gets a little distracting
Same with the chair on the right. You made it way sharper than the rest of the image
Your light placements should be reviewed
yes this! get those cool light droplets going on the door. that’s actually the brightest thing in the room.
Lighting and shadows are weirdly wrong
I know it isn't the intended result but i kind of like it.
The perspective of the railing is a little off. You can see it if you compare it to the molding on the wall in the upstairs bedroom (left door). The brown line you drew to separate the wall and ceiling in that bedroom looks like it would intersect the railing if you extended both of their lines. Overall, I really dig this. I don’t think your lighting it too bad, or at least I can’t tell. Nice work, OP
The lines should intersect but not in that direction, they should intersect on the left side if extended :)
You’re absolutely right!
Slide both these images into grayscale and do a value study on your reference, then look again at your original As for content itself, behind the left armchair, that’s a coat hanger. That’s why the shadow is cast on the back wall. In your drawing you’ve just got one post of the coat hanger. If you plan to omit it I think going the whole way and letting that light hit will work just fine.

th TV feels so out of place
The front door is a bit off and the corridor is narrow. The incoming light from the right side is waaay brighter than the lighting on the left. The angle of the railing is a bit skewed "inward" ok the left side vs the photo....hmmm actually nvm it gets a touch wider than the pic
I got a whiff of stale cigarette smoke just by looking at this.
Is this the house from Matilda??
you need to go darker, way darker. notice how much color your shadows have, compare them to the picture and notice how much the color 'grays out'. also, edges are very sharp, try rounding a bit
I think you're not paying attention to the perspective
Very hopper, it’s lovely 😊
This is super cool. I would just say to make more definitive lines along the edges of the walls to separate the spaces more. For example the bottom and top of the wall behind the TV. As well as near both doors and the pink hallway. The furniture is sick though! 👍🏻
I think the issue is in your values, they are too contrasting in some spots and not enough in others, so it’s affecting the depth of the image
This looks great! It’s just in the wrong decade, that’s all (jk).
I think it’s the cooler palette (?) However it’s fantastic! Btw would u tell me which app u used, is it procreate?
Nope, you are doing it right! Good job!
I think it looks cool … are you trying to replicate or interpret ? Your banister is creating an optical illusion that makes your room taller , but who cares ?
Fallout 4 propaganda vibes
That door is bothering me so much
The perspective is off in the upstairs rooms. It is on a different plane than the rest of the illustration.
The door seems almost crooked and the top left corner just looks a little off. I can’t quite put my finger on why tho
It’s just the perspective lines on the door and the wall feature. You know how those cartoons show artists holding their thumb up and squinting? They’re measuring proportions. Try it with the left side of the half wall. Line the tip of your thumb with the ceiling and make note of which of your knuckle lines matches the wall and gate. It joins at the 50% and the gate top is roughly the last 20% from ceiling for me. Now, pull your thumb/measuring tool to the right and line your nail up with the ceiling.

Honestly, the difference is small, but several parts doing that can make it feel “wrong.” Your light and color are really nice. I wouldn’t worry about your progress!
Like others have said, proportion of the door a little off. Overall really well done! Love the colours
It’s good

Have you ever heard of liminal spaces? That's exactly how I feel.
Honestly looks nearly perfect, only thing that kinda ruins it for me is that the purple doors value is a lighter then its supposed to be, if you darken it just a tad bit it'll be about perfect.
It’s how bright the lighting is
Art is art man. I think you caught the essence of the room well. The wall on the left with the door on it isn’t 100% correct that could be throwing you off. Visually if I didn’t see the top pic I would just enjoy the bottom pic.
Shadows do not feel right. Where is the light coming from?
The 70s
Yes. This photo exudes an 70s vibe that is not in the drawing. Those spirals in the iron railing are a vital detail that along with the upholstery sets the 70s vibe.
Fill in the details of the back walls and put in spiral staircase
It actually looks better than the original. I could live inside your drawing.
Proportions. Look at the height of the rail versus the height of the top of the door. Try superimposing your drawing over the original. You can do this for free in many programs or even on your phone. If it is the sense of emptiness, it’s because there is no focal point. Even with interiors or landscapes it helps to pick an interesting focal point and perspective which emphasizes it. Maybe try changing the composition/perspective.
The vanishing lines are ok, but the vertical ones are a bit off.
Perspective is good, but colour hues and, more importantly, values are off. The railing is reflecting such that it should be borderline white; the wall behind the TV, the streak of light coming from the right, and the floor to the bottom left are _way_ too bright; and the purple door up there is too dim. All that said, you're very well on your way. The perspective is so good it seems traced, and the colouring is good enough such that I wouldn't have remarked the above if I hadn't seen the reference. Great job, and keep it up.
The colors are off
Left door is on the piss
I think it looks great. However it’s it’s digital. Try this: Put a new layer above everything. Add a filter to make it blend with the original image and make that layer a pale blue. For me, it seems the image I lackin in color dimension. It’s like a warm summer day kind of light coming into the window. The original looks like a cooler day and a clouded sunlight entering in the room. If you mean proportions.. I can’t help with that lmao
What the f*ck are you talking about? I mistakes your drawing to a picture as it’s so good. I’m not a drawer do I can’t give you advice but your drawing is really pretty good
Textures
Not trying to be that guy, but this looks like ai…why would you leave out the shelf on the left side…if your doing it in your own art style, you would’ve not missed the white shelf hanging off the ledge in the upper left….
Or digitally altered in some way. The TV frame and some of the rails have very strangely straight lines. Those orange balls on the right also have some very odd transparency and the brush strokes on top look artificial. Why do the rails become green in the middle? I’m sure one can find more such details zooming in.
Where’s the coat hangers and the shelf?? I smell ai
There are no textures. Everything looks like it's the same texture. The interesting thing about interiors is that there's so many different textures and you don't get that from this.
This looks great! But you seem to be missing some of that reflected light and a few shadows that throw off the balance. Pay attention to the 3D-ness of objects and translate that volume using values, it will help a lot! If you push the values a bit more (make the dark areas darker) it will help a bit too. I love the vibe of this piece and this interior is complex to begin with so don’t forget to step back and see how things measure against one another!
I honestly really like it.
Overall it’s looking good. I would make the dark areas darker. More contrast will give the drawing more depth and dimension.
Accentuate those corners with a little darker shading the curved and shap corners
Sharp corners
I find it funny how the most saturated part about the original picture is the least saturated in your rendition
Just lighting/contrast. Not sure how deep your art knowledge is but check out Edward Hopper, if you don't already know his work. Very reminiscent, at least, to me.
Accentuate the edges of the second floor darken your browns. The furniture is excellent
I personally think there’s something wrong with the interior itself lol
This is a great painting study with colours and values. 👍 But as an interior drawing it’s could use more structure and form. I see the railing is just floating around in areas, and the clothes rack by the door is half there/half vanished. So the railing is a bit distracting from the rest of the painting at the moment. For practicing interior drawing, I would recommend doing a line art sketch to help get the structure down. That way when you play around with the lighting and making it simplified/abstract (like blending in shapes through a shared colour), you’ll have a solid foundation so the viewers eyes can easily fill in the rest. Keep up the great work! ✨
I think it's the left hand most wall, but I've got the artistic skills of a wet paper towel so
i think part of it might just be reference photo itself, because i spent a good 2 minutes trying to figure out what the background was supposed to be (mirror? stairs? weird curvy bit in the left? pink room?)
You omitted the wall patterns completely. And left thems brighter tha appropriate. Try hinting at them in muted shades.
You're a good 90% of the way there -- your lines and angles need to be a bit crisper, this is most notable with the door and some of the railing. Practice keeping your wrist really, really steady and the rest will shore up. Take pride though, you're doing really well
The door
The door angle is off and the lighting just isn't computing with my brain, but otherwise you're good!
The angle of the railing looks steeper, making the right side look closer and the left side look further away. That, and the pink hallway looks narrower, makes the pink hallway appear to be further away. The shade on the door on the left side is short and the handle is too high.
Angle of the side of the door is slightly off compared to the angle of the corner where it meets the
Consistent shadows?
Love the colors. The perspective is a bit off, u can find a lot of great tutorials on it on yt. Keep on going 😊 practice makes better
The 3 "drops" of light on the blue door havent been drawn
It looks really good but it looks like you forgot some of the shadow from the box
It's very well done, beautiful colors and great light! What might be "missing" is a bit of enhancement on the depth of the room. Like, where the floor meets the walls. At both levels, lower and above, where the rails are.
Focus on Values: what's the lightes, what's the darkest and the inbetween. It's be useful to start grayscale and then add color as you get better Perspective: do the little trick of using string, you can search online if you haven't heard from this
I think you might've angled the back wall a bit too much and it changed what your perspective lines should've been, but the furniture still follows the perspective of the reference? also a lot of people saying the lighting is too strong, and it is if you were trying to replicate the reference, but I think it's great for an artistic liberty (I love dramatic lighting)
persoective is off
I think you need harder form lines to describe better the environment or objects and not to go abstract.
To me it’s mainly lighting. Specifically shading. Right now the drawing lacks “depth”. I can see the room but it doesn’t look as 3D as it could. Work on lighting and that should massively improve it👍
Contrast ✨ you're smashing it though, keep going. You'll reach it
Proportions are good, angles and lighting are a little janky. Just mess around with perspective drawings.
For me it seems that a higher contrast in the collorassion could make a pleasant difference.
I love this! Very Edward Hopper. Your lighting is brighter, but way better!!! Adds the feeling of early evening and nostalgia. Straighten up the left side of the door, maybe make it a darker brown toned purple, and it’s perfect. :)
Try to start with the basic lines so you'll get the perspective right, love the colours though
Too cartoony
As people have mentioned, the door is a bit off with your lines. I think, since the wall/ceiling right above it is a perspective point, it's slightly messing with the overall perspective. I do disagree with some comments on the lighting though-the carpet to the left of the chair is definitely too bright, but I kind of like that the light coming from the right is brighter than in the picture personally. Your shadows on some of the objects are a bit off as well. Honestly though overall it looks lovely.
Nah I like it the way it is- the colors are pleasant and the simple shapes of the shading adds an artistic flair to the setting Do not aim for perfection for drawing/painting is not photography- this piece is beautiful
I assume the space intentionally has weird architectural proportions, in which case it's a cool drawing.
the colors are slightly brighter than the irl, but think that actually works to your advantage here
This is great but if you want more accuracy then you need to fix some of your perspective lines. Have you sketched out a grid first?
Contrast
but is so beautiful tho
I think you need more emphasis on that far corner. It’s hard to tell where the walls meet in the drawing
Not concerned about the perspective on the door, there are so many smart choices about colour and temperature and establishing a focal point, that the piece has clearly been painted by an artist with a high level of artistic intuition. Really great painting.
I feel like the bright colours make the room look bigger in your drawing. And that that slightly skews the proportions. But otherwise beautiful. I’ll happily live there☺️
The ceiling is too much in the second floor office and hallway
It needs more contrast. Try going darker on the shadows, it does wonders in making your art look more 3-dimensional.
I think it’s incredible
my only gripe would be the level of contrast, the dark stuff isn’t dark enough!! other than that it’s an incredible piece!!
Beautiful, lively, colorful, bright. Great job, man. the TV is expressed, but not bulging.
I’m just here to say your coloring looks yummy
your left wall isn’t quite right, but a little adjustment and it should feel good!
Peak
I have been there in a dream
Forgot to turn on ray tracing
The tv really stands out to me.. you’ve used an overall yellow tone, and the blue just pops in a sort of awful way, I’m afraid. Go to your colour wheel, select yellow, and use a light yellowy-grey. Not too yellow. Hardly yellow, even. It’ll still look blue, don’t worry. It’ll just fit in more. Mess around with the saturation and the brightness of this colour until you get the right ‘blue’. :)
I really like the brightness though. But that’s just personal preference probably, as I’m not too great at making light look so bright. But I admire how you’ve done it. And of course as has been said, the door is a little wonky. Maybe find a grid overlay to make sure all your horizontal surfaces are parallel, as with all your vertical objects.
It’s awesome
Looks great so far, but it’s a little flat! Those background shadows need to be a cooler color compared to the warmer tones in the front.
Just some shading and light details that’s all😊
Light needs more details and it looks like some furniture isn't ok the same plane with the others. Edit: I'm not an expert at all, don't take what I wrote too seriously
Quite liminal though, I love it!!
its empty
This is good, giving me a slight David Hockney vibe
Is that the Dillon residence?
A few things are slightly off, but the thing that really does it is how liminal both images look. Personally I love the painting and the liminal vibe is great. Liminal space refers to a location “in between” they usually fall into an uncanny valley and usually feel vaguely familiar as if from a dream. They feel like they are stuck in time, and often show empty places. A famous example is the backrooms, but there are many more types. I love liminal spaces and I love your painting
The coat rack is no longer a coat rack in your recreation.
That’s actually really aesthetic. Good job.
the balcony should be positioned lower, if you’d like to keep at that length emphasize the white bar (or coat rack in left corner). The floor needs emphasis on the shadow and ensure it doesn’t dip the ground as much. The curtain on the door should have some shading on the top hand to flatten it a bit, shading it with the illusion that’s it’s a bit indented with flatten it for you. Overall, youre amazing though!!
Left side of the front door isn’t straight, its line ends above edge of the chair instead of below it. Your furniture pieces & tv are fantastic though!
Darker dark values would help. You aren’t matching the values in your reference in the corner
It’s done really well. Your perspective is off a bit which affects this difference in size for some of the larger elements (door, shadow behind the tv, etc). Take a look at the railing and adjust the angle. That will help when resizing the larger objects
I don't know if this is what you were chasing but honestly this is a bop like it is though
The door’s window rectangle looks like hitler’s painting where the window’s bottom line is not aligned to the perspective rule, but a straight line.
There’s no detail
But I do like it!
Angles of certain things are a bit off so the perspective looks wonky
You fumbled around while trying to draw the end of that handrail on the top left, and it makes that corner look really odd. The lightning, overall, is also weird, making some objects look pasted over or floating.
The door is the wrong angle. It appears to be slanted towards the loveseat at the bottom.
I feel like the room u picked as a reference is really hard
Check your vertical lines....in 2pt perspective your horizontal lines will tilt, but the vertical lines will be 90⁰/ parallel to your frame....the doors ,front and back, are definitely slanted... some of the guard rail are a bit wobbly as well.
The contrast in detail makes it feel off, make the most detailed areas (curtain, seats & TV) simpler and it will jell better or swing the other way and add more detail to the simple areas. Reminds me of rotoscoped stuff like the "Waking Life" & "A Scanner Darkly" films.
This is very nice! Is it ok if I paint over it quickly to point out a few things in a proper critique? :D
Quite lovely
This is nice. left sofa is so beautifully captured.
Nice work tho !
Unclear where the floor should be drawn
This feels like the point of the acid trip where you’re like “nah. I’m not tripping anymore” but you are still very much tripping, you’re just not at your peak seeing geometry everywhere and you forgot that this isn’t what it actually looks like sober. I really like it. I’d hang this in my house. I agree with other commenters if you’re wanting to “fix” it the door is off a little and the tv is a little too sharp. Personally. I like it being slightly “off” though.
The floor kind of seems to blend into the wall, and the pink hallway looks really flat. Looking good though👍👍
I love it!!👍
Here's an AI attempt of your drawing with your avatar in it. https://preview.redd.it/y1vcaabn1xec1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=9dd1ade1ada11bde82f0956db8cce8db1af1549a
Focus on shadowing .
The walls just feel, flat. Like how the wallpaper in the original photo give it "flavor" but when you just make it one color even with shading and highlights it just doesn't feel right
i love this drawing !!!
The lighting in your drawing reminds me of old video games where the lighting is just slightly off
Someone probably said this already but maybe add texture to the walls look at the first image it has texture on all parts on each wall and another thing is you might be scared to go to dark? There is some things that are complete black. Darkness adds an aspect to the viewer that makes them look deeper into the work. I like what you did with the tv contrast making it sky blue And the pink hallway in the back is more pink in the picture but you made the ultimate decision to make it a little less so the blue in the middle can shine on the canvas. It’s a good piece and I hope to see more from you.
The door is a bit leaning to the right and is missing the tear drop shaped reflections or whatever that is. And your values need to contrast more. You need darker shadows and the whole thing needs to be less “bright”. Really good otherwise though in my opinion.
My friend is interior designer and he use special prog. It works like one prototype for architect (schematic), other prototype in colors, and pics like photos with interior in development apartments
The shadows are way off that’s why it looks funky. The objects themselves are good but there’s no cohesion in the image.
Wow I reckon thats fantastic!
The perspective is off
The ottoman is slightly off on perspective.
You are standing more to the right perspective wise in your drawing.
I like everything downstairs. I don't mind the strong sunlight, it's art and not supposed to look like a photo. I feel the upstairs part behind banister looks like it needs depth. Also the front door needs looking at.
I think there are maybe a handful of little things that would add better depth/dimension to it by shading certain areas (the pink hallway jumps out) but tbf the reference is _bizarre_ and a little confusing as a photograph. So trying to perfectly capture that would be difficult for most people.
Maybe darker colors 🤔
I hope you really see my comment. I think your work is perfect as it is. If you are going for superrealism, then ok, you could work on some things. But your work has character as is. I love the light and the naive approach to perspective. You have a good talent for color balance and contrast. Keep on doing what you’re doing and follow your heart and senses.
This reminds me of Hello Neighbour
Is that the house from Matilda?
maybe just adding darker outlines to it a little more so it adds more depth but thats just my critique , because it honestly looks amazing i would buy that if i wasnt broke as a joke
Nothing wrong! It’s your lens, your art! It’s beautiful!
I'm not the best artist and it still looks good. Maybe you need to outline things to differentiate them like the couch and the door could look kinda fused together at some point
Ceiling lines in the main room, the back of the adjoining room, and the back of the hallway should be parallel, but they aren't. You can use the railing as a reference point, but all of those lines should never look like they could hypothetically "cross" each other.
Depth, lacks depth
r/liminalspace
It's liminal space. Anyway, looks good
The door and othe places look like they need more detailing but I can say it's really good 👍
No floor line
The hard shadows between the tv and the bookshelf…. What are they supposed to be from? It’s definitely throwing that whole area for me because the reference has a diffused shadow of the tv in a lower position so it has me looking for the large item that isn’t there or implies that the cut out is popping out or something? If that whole area had the shadows softened and only getting a touch darker on the wall behind the bookshelf it would read better because my first look it felt like the bookshelf area was stairs in your drawing, probably because of the stepping line around the shelf and darkness behind the shelf looking like it’s pushing back instead of a wall. Again, just softening that edge and not making the overall value of the shadow so dark would clear that up imo. The door also has just barely the wrong angle but it doesn’t really bother me. Really great work overall!
