Hi GAM! Serve me up some critical opinions.
I'm always looking for new perspectives. Someone to show me my weaknesses and a way to do things better
At the moment I'm trying to step back and build on the foundations:
>>colour
>>form
>>space
>>composition
Browse through my recent works and let me know how well I'm doing?

Your art is quite good.
With the teacups, I think what you should do is darken the insides more, and have the highlights inside the teacups smaller and brighter, to give a more shiny effect. The highlights in flatten the teacups because it's inconsistent with the light source (it doesn't look like the light is going down and right in front of the objects, and if it is, then the teapot's spout needs to have a little more highlight on the inside. Plus, the teacups have no highlights on the outside, and the form shadows aren't blended right, which, again, makes them look 2d. The sharp shading on the fabric around the teacups is inconsistent from the rest, and as such draws attention away from them.
That is a pretty awesome teapot, though.

Wow. Looks great.
Hm, I think that the cups lack the definition in form that the pot has. Maybe go in with a finer brush and tighten your edges to make the shapes solid and consistent.

Thanks Errol.
I was afraid to dive into details before I got the values, light/shadows of the cups correct. Sort of fudged my way through that, and yep, got in with a fine brush to further define it.
Please let me know how that went smile
