[Feedback] Background help

[Zanorin]

You mean this one ? I don't really see how it is steeper than the foreground pavement though 

[eishiya]

Yeah, that's the one. And it's steeper:

It looks even steeper than it is to me though, because it should be at a lower angle, since it's closer to the imaginary horizon line (because it's higher than the foreground pavement, and the horizon is above all the pavement).

sry for interfering but i thought it was a lolipop the first time XDD

i think it looks better now though.

@Melodee thank for the feedback

@eishiya I think you misinterpreted the image there, here's a top-down perspective:


If that was not clear, how could I make it more so ? :/

[eishiya]

I interpreted it correctly, the complaint I'm making is that the sidewalk in the background doesn't fit the perspective of the foreground areas.

If I may suggest a couple of things for your consideration:



First, that the sidewalk corner could be extended further. As it is, the sidewalk doesn't wrap around the building, even though you want to suggest a street there (Which isn't impossible, but looks unusual).

And then, regarding the aforementioned perspective... the lines that run perpendicular to the lines of your sidewalk & building should all be running off to the same vanishing point. I've drawn a line through your puddle that indicates the perspective THAT gives, and then drawn in a couple more lines that would all roughly meet at the same point. You absolutely don't need to use that as your vanishing point to draw perpendicular lines, you can pick anything you'd like! But you'll want everything in that scene to share the same perspective, which may cause you to reconsider things like the shape of the puddle, or the lamp, or the layout of the background.

Hopefully that all made some sense! It's a great little scene, and you've done a terrific job on it already.
