The Glass is Half Full

Published:
847 Views

Description

I rather like how this turned out. This is based off the idea of "Some say the glass is half empty, others say it's half full."

I guess my spin on the idea was sometimes you don't want the glass half full. Or something like that. I'll leave the interpretation up to you.

Also, critique would be nice. I think I executed this fairly well but there's always room to grow. Also let me know if the reflection on top looks alright. I know water does that in real life but I got a bit lazy and didn't pay much attention to what would show. Anyways, just critique if you see something I could work on.

This is my first Critique, so I'll try to make some sense.

As a whole, this has all the basics covered. Light source, reflection, etc. And I like how you made a drawing based on that saying. And I don't see it half full, I see it half empty and want more water in it.

The reflection though seems a bit off to me. I think it should be spread out a little bit more across the surface. And maybe you should add a ripple or two, because the water couldn't have been calm that fast after she fell(?) in it.

Besides that I can't see anything else wrong. Maybe add some extra things here and there, like condensation on the glass. But overall this is great work.
