Late At Night...

...In my room...in other words it's a pretty good drawing of my room

Looks like something I could do.

A really cool drawing. Your personal style really shines through on this one.

It does look a bit rushed, even for your style, maybe you should've given yourself another two minutes on it. Anyway, on to the review:

I'd like to say there is a lot of detail here, in a relative perspective, of course. You've got books, a computer, your desk, chair and some shelves, and you can even see where the floor ends and wall starts, which I've had problems doing in some of your other pieces.

Again, I love your use of colours. I'd guess you used blue for a base and then painted on top of that, with different shades of the colours. I really like the colouring done on the wall, though I have to admit that there is a bit too much overflow on this one.

The character, I'm guessing it's you, looks really tired. Seems like he's holding a pen in his left hand, but I might be wrong. It doesn't really look like he's sitting, but that the chair is painted on him. His head also looks like you're in the Exorcist, Turned 180 degrees. Looks somewhat unnatural. There's also some transparency where I can see the shape of the computer, which you probably should do something about that.

Other than that, I like the feel of the picture. Even though you look tired and it's supposed to be late at night, your paintings always make me feel happy. Maybe you could add a window showing that it's late at night (Dark sky, stars, moon?) to this one?

Hey there, -SpXer- here,

I like the general ambience of the room, as indicated by the tones in the walls, very eerie, in my opinion.
What I didn't like was the chair. I know that your style is very rough and "outside the edges", but the chair just didn't have the right perspective, and was too rough to garner a feeling for me.
The bags under your eyes, however, indicate someone who stays on his computer a lot, and hasn't got much sleep lately. You're allowed to make that statement.
I like the light coming from the lamp, it's very strange that the light doesn't reach all the way to your desk and that improves the eerie ambience of the art.

Again, your whole "colour outside the lines" thing has really been brought into fruition this time round, it brings an air of ambiguity to the piece.
Especially with your books(?) and yellow raincoat(??) on your dresser/file cabinet.
The fact that I like the most though, is that all the details don't seem to matter, it's just your face that needs inspecting.
A painting style that is ambiguous yet specific at the same time... for me, it doesn't hit totally.
Some things could beimproved, like the fact you can still see the computer screen through your head.
It takes away from the simplicity of your face (i know, sounds funny) but I like the coffee cup on your desk.

It seems like your writing an essay or doing your homework late at night, but I would have liked to see more of an air of urgency, like maybe some deep reds in there or something.
Mind you, that would take away from the tranquility of the piece.
It seems at night everything is silently tranquil, even when you're busy at it.
This could be a portrait of that moment when you finally realise, you're the only one awake in the house.
Very apt.

I like how the whole desk slopes one way, it gives a message of no perspectives, just the general outline.
The caption though, about this being a pretty good drawing... yes, but that's not all there is.
Maybe you should try to convey the more complex innards of your mind with even less words describing how deep exactly a simple picture like this can be...
For me, I like to find the complexity in the simplicity, that's why I like your pictures.

Overall, I give it a 6/10 because it does portray the feeling of a good room, but it doesn't expand on that much, except for the slight eerie ambience that results from it.
What I would like to see more is the physical manifestation of whatever emotions you may be feeling at this time, such as anger, frustration, or even inner peace.
That's why I like the face, it shows a somewhat puzzlement about you, that I like.

Thank you for letting me see your art.

Yours truly,
-SpXer-
