Description
pools are real bluemessy hour-long sketch
trying to de-rust my poor, shitty hands
looks down at hands in silent horror
this was loosely ref'd from a pic of our own pool
just the colors, really, because I gotta practice more perspective
I wanna try some more environmental kinda stuff
or, at least some more full pieces ref'd from real pictures
gotta ground my style a little more, I think
more of the basics. composition, depth.... other things....... ">_>
the thumbnail of this looks prettier than the real thing but that's okay for now.

Man there was this beach I used to go to that was great, small secluded, rocky 'cliffs' on both ends, and a mangrove between the rocky area on the right and the sand... then it got taken over indirectly by a hotel

yo this looks nice! complaints i have tho is on the colors, ironically: they're LASER bright, but then again pools can get that way? second is that the green and blue look awfully similar. like, remove all the colors on this and it'd seem they're different, but the very nature of the colors make them just overall too hard to look at—like they're merging together. simply changing the blue would make it easier for the eyes to decipher. ((also another fun thing: did you know that the green has a lighter value than the blue? wild))
the picture also feels somewhat flat: we get some depth from where you tried putting the pool wall, but we can't see the pool floor too well. water's more translucent than it can appear (and also more opaque than it can appear). overall water is super unfair. it distorts light that comes in, but you can still intuit the shapes. also, the perspective is a bit too extreme, making part of the pool look more shallow.
also the concrete not in the pool is literally just blank space, but then again, i doubt you were trying out textures so it doesn't matter
small warning that toning down vibrancy too far can cause you to start washing out colors, it's been happening to me and i've been trying to Recover

At first I was reading this and was like "nahhh, the colors are supposed to be too bright!" And then I looked at it again but on my phone and holy shit this looks DISGUSTING
I Hate Art
edit I switched back to my computer and it's fine again???????????????????????
like I literally directly sampled these colors from an actual picture of my pool with an ugly green boogie board in it why
