Beginner's bedroom

To me, the way that you've got the books lined up in the middle makes that shelf look like it's slanted

[Rargh!]

A great improvement. The room looks much more inviting!!

I could be wrong, but are the shadows for the bookcase and the bed conflicting in terms of light source. I only ask more to learn from who might be able to answer. Door seems a touch wide, too. Though that would be based on Australian building standards... not sure what it's like elsewhere in the world!!

You've replaced most of the ugly black lines with darker colored lines, getting rid of the comic book feel.  This is good.  I'd say do the same with the closet doors, especially with the gaps between the slats. 

[Rydin]

The shutters are really repetitious and boring right now...everything else sucks the viewer in, but the shutters push the viewer back out.  Remember that EVERYTHING is subject to the effects of the light source.  (also, it could be the harsh black boarders on the shutters that are really making them an eye soar)
But you have improved the piece quite a bit so far, good work--keep it up!

EDIT: Yeah, didn't see Faktablad's post....he mentions the closet doors/shutters, too.  My bad.

Faktablad and Rydin, you were definitely right.  What a stark difference it makes to eliminate that brutal contrast.

Thanks, everyone.  You've given me a good set of principles to start with, here.  Now I can add on the rest of my condo!

You've still got some black outlines in there that should be eliminated, like on the clothes basket (?) in the upper left corner and bookshelf. Anyway, excellent improvement from the first version, the shadows give the image a much more realistic and cozy feel.

Another tiny thing--but it just hit me between the eyes--are the last two shutter knobs lined up correctly? The other two had one line of overlapping pixels, while the last two didn't.

Whoops.
