I see what you're going for with the soulless audience, and it's a tough pic to pull off. But TVs are output devices, and not intended for the reception for the performance, only the broadcasting.

She's looking off to the viewer but, even if this was some form of 4th wall thing, I don't understand the purpose in this pic apart from getting a good view of her face. Be careful with the angles of the planks, as well.

Knocturne responds:

Yeah, I guess I was being a bit pretentious with this drawing. I chose the TV as the heads because well, I love drawing tv headed things and because of their inability to function as an audience, and in terms of audiences as a performer I feel like they can only receive information that's displayed by the performer so in that sense all they are doing is rebroadcasting and in that there's a disconnect.

I chose to make her turn away from the audience and have her look down to the viewer's left to strengthen that feeling of disconnect with the audience and the somber mood I was trying to convey with color choise and the overall composition, but if none of that was evident than I didn't really portray it well haha, thanks!
