>>5912644I agree that compositional elements throughout the painting, existing beyond this cropped pictures borders, are very loud, and messy. I'm trying to embody the spirit of Persian miniature painting, which is influenced by Chinese porcelains and Persian carpets, so it's all very loud and detailed, except the figures, which tend to look like so, flat colours and no shading. I think the base drawing wasn't fully thought through so yes the way she's sitting on his thigh is as you say, looks like she's sliding off, you're right.
>>5912651>>5912651thank you that's very helpful, I'll think of shading the figure as shading the box now, I'm self taught so I have a lot of gaps in my knowledge
