Hey, Anni! Thanks for sharing your work. The illustration is already quite interesting! The moon's current position definitely helps the horse's silhouette stand out, but it also makes the rider's head get lost because it's creating a light-against-light relationship, which reduces the overall contrast. Ideally, you should look for dark-against-light or light-against-dark contrasts everytim! Notice how, after moving the moon, the dark-against-light contrast becomes much stronger, and the silhouette reads much more clearly. The horse and the rider should also be much darker. Since the moon is the primary light source and it's positioned behind them, painting highlights on the front of the figures doesn't really fit the lighting setup. Instead, keeping them mostly in shadow and relying on the moon's rim light, as well as the green flame, to pick out parts of the silhouette will create a much stronger effect, especially where the figures overlap darker areas of the background. I'd also recommend making the background characters a bit smaller. That will help reinforce the scale difference between the Headless Horseman and the distant figures, while also adding a stronger sense of depth. You could also introduce some overlapping shapes in the ground plane instead of keeping it completely flat. That simple change would make the composition feel much more dynamic. Finally, I'd push the colors a little further toward blue to reinforce the nighttime mood. Night scenes generally sit within a cooler, blue color range, so leaning into that palette would help strengthen the atmosphere. | Artwod Feedback
