    Me like , but I would have liked faces on the flowers too, looking
    down at the funny vase they are in
    be aware, not to become a ware.

    I really like it Matt. very interesting composition. I'm might suggest taking some off the top (background). are you familiar with color harmonies? if so, I'd suggest a bit of a change there. I really love your vase

    there are different elements to making good design. I'm not speaking specifically to graphic design, but to design in general. and one key Element is color--how to use it for the purpose of good design. color harmony is one defination of color principles to use. color is all based around the basic color wheel: each color for example has a complementary color (direct); there are colors that are analogous harmonies based from a key color and harmonies from those are called split and triadic. If one has not heard any of this b4 it can sound confusing, but when you have a color wheel to look at it's really less complex than it sound.
    the color wheel at it's most basic is the primaries and the secondaries. direct color complements are yellow and purple; blue and orange; red and green.
    then there is a whole lot more info that can be used for rendering design: warm and cool colors and how these can be used for creating perspective.....and so on.
    you might try picking up a color compass or color wheel and read up on it. it's very interesting (for me anyway ) artists working in natural mediums use these principles, so I'm sure you could pick something up at your local arts & craft store or ask about it at a local book store.
    as I said, when you have it to SEE /LOOK at in front of you it is not complex. hope this is helpful

    Hi Matt,

    I like your drawings. The colours in this one are very good, IMO. The wall, flowers and table all have a basic colour. The vase's colour draws the viewers attention... where you want it.
