Some people do painting or other things for a hobby and for fun. They aren't looking to have their art work displayed in a gallery and critiqued.

Honestly, you're really boring, can't you just saddle your broom and be off to never land?View attachment 32478 Moroccan girl
One eye is higher than the other. Using a mirror would really help you catch these things, but one doesn't need a mirror to notice the deformation of her eyes.
I like the background alot. ALOT. Fuckin' awesome use of black and turquoise/ teal.
The hair actually looks pretty decent.
The shirt stands out too much, but the tetrad color scheme needn't be changed. Maybe if you darkened the shirt a bit, it would be less distracting from the face. Not by changing the colors, but by darkening the whole thing. Think about the way the shirt would look in a dimly lit room, as opposed to how it looks out in the bright sun.
I looked at what I have photographed and i don't have any buildings similar to your house. I know I've done sketches of houses for class. I just don't have them photographed. I'll have to look. You might learn more from a drawing anyway.Thanks for the info and I hope you post a house scene, something new...I learn a lot more studying from an actual painting...Drawing a house is a lot like building a house. Measure twice, draw once. Measure everything.
Doesn't have to be a house, an architectural painting will do...I appreciated your remarks on the perspective to the right, I rushed that painting in three hours to give it to a friend...I thought your remarks on the window perspectives a bit much, a ruler or tape would stiffen a composition and would not improve a good painting or a bad one.I looked at what I have photographed and i don't have any buildings similar to your house.

Its not a question of visualization...If I were one to visualize, it would conform to my persona and experience...When an Artist, performs, writes or paints and I see or hear it then I see that person's vision uncluttered by my personal emotions clearly. I can visualize just fine, the mechanic's work, I want to see the Art!Pbel finds it incredibly difficult to visualize.
Which is a fundamental trait of being a great artist of any kind.
