A Review of Color Burned by Ashley Beach

I really like a lot of what is going on here.

Stuff I would consider working on: Eyes: As someone mentioned before, I would make a small reference to the eyes. Doesn't need to be much.

Arm Texture: The bulk of the arm texture is louder than anything else in the image in terms of the range of value. I would soften the darkest darks and some of the lightest lights especially in areas like the elbow. I like what is happening where her arm is merging with this texture just below her deltoid. It is very subtle and realistic. Some of the texture is too clearly repeated... I notice that rounded "tree knot" a few times.

Birds: I kind of like the concept of them, but as it is it doesn't really work for me. This is a completely new style of element and if you want to introduce it, I think it needs to be more incorporated into the piece.

• Going Minimal: Either utilize some of the colors from the rest of the image to bring some connection, or make it not as contrasting with the background.

• Going for more: I would maybe repeat some of that same style through out the design to give it a subconscious home. For example you could repeat the text bits but increase the size dramatically (running off the ends of the image) and lower the transparency so it is so subtle you almost don't see it (put it in the background). It could help that bird and text as you have it, make more sense.

Stuff I really love: pyramid-ish element, splatter elements, the watery mountains, the colors you chose, the composition

Really good stuff here. Keep it up.
