As you can see on the grey scale copy, the tones of different masses are too close to each other, not enough contrast and that cause your image looks darker. The colour in general is a little to saturate , especially the green still too strong to go with that kind of lighting condition.
- I first desaturate the colour of the whole image ( image- adjustm-hue/sat) to get a more natural hue in overall.
- Second, lighten the mountain of upper part for more contrast and distance using brighness adjustment.
Some points you need to observe:
- Keep the covering of your colour more uniform, soft blending and don't leave the ring around the shapes. Don't handle the colour as you're colouring in watercolour. Use layers if needed.
- Using some photos of figures will make the work more efficient, easier and better result ( for form, details, shadow, drapery, lighting effect...) Don't improvise too much at this stage. A tall handsome guy like you, you should at least take a picture of yourself for the big guy &pike in foreground LOL!!
haha wow thanks Charles, great feedback and we have until the 11th to post final pictures?
