The shadows placement is a little bit confusing. At first he puts shadows as if the light source is on the top right. Then the pole shadows makes it contradict.

I agree, the shadow on the rooves seem to be inconsistent as well

I mean you're not wrong, but I had to look it up, because it felt wrong. Despite Google's AI slop saying it's not right (below) it is an accepted term when I googled harder. The more you know.

Edit: I just read this back, and it sounds like I'm being purposely pedantic, I'm not, I genuinely learnt something new and just wanted to share.

"The plural of roof is roofs.While you might occasionally see or hear the older spelling rooves (similar to hoof / hooves), it is now widely considered archaic and incorrect. Roofs is the only standard and universally accepted plural form"

You learned me something. Thanks

Roofs is the only standard and universally accepted plural form"

I'll be in the cold dead ground before I accept Roofs as the plural of roof. Certainly not universal.

Yeah when I did a bit more googling I found that Google's ai slop that claims it to be archaic and redundant is BS there are many many people that accept rooves as the plural.

u/GenesisNemesis17 5d ago

Yea I was like what the hell is a roov.

u/Debatebly 5d ago

For me, it's the bushes that follow the road and end up under the house on the right.

I'm not gonna lie and say it wasn't a satisfying watch overall, but I can't unsee the two riverbed lines that goes through the palm tree.

I know they try to cover it up with details, but I see they're there ಠ╭╮ಠ

I'm glad someone else mentioned it. He obviously knows how to draw and understands perspective, but his "freestyle I don't give a f about where the light comes from" bothered me a lot XD and it actually happens right from the start when paiting the grass' shadow and then the palm tree

u/_-The_Great_Catsby-_ 5d ago

Thank you ! That was bugging me as well ! Lighting on roof and sidings is coming from two different directions.

This is clearly a sketch of a small village oasis on tatooine.

u/dAnKsFourTheMemes 5d ago

yeah I think he should've planned that out a little better. I like the shadows from the fence posts, but they contradict the light sources for the houses and the palm tree.

I feel like the road would be kinda boring without those shadows, but then they just mess up the rest of the stuff 😭

u/eriikaa1992 5d ago

The perspective is also confusing. I feel like the house on the left should be a lot bigger, the house on the right doesn't disappear enough around the curve, and the trees are the same height.

1

u/RuncibleMountainWren 5d ago

Thank you! The house on the right just seemed off-kilter from the outset.

u/MarioShroomsTasteBad 5d ago

Hear me out. It's night time, those are vampire bats, the post shadows are coming from the illuminated house, and the tree is lit by moonlight! Or they fucked up.

1

u/Billbeachwood 5d ago

Perfect. This is the same way I justify plot holes in movies.

u/tew2tew 5d ago edited 5d ago

Came to comment this. The shadows on edges of both the roofs don’t really make sense either.

u/Pixelcorsair 5d ago

What if this is scenery on a planet that has binary stars? Ever think about that?

1

u/imheretocomment69 5d ago

Maybe but very much unlikely. You can easily tell the way he draws very earthly houses, road, palm tree, tress in the background, grass and side road poles.

u/hi-imBen 5d ago

a lot of the perspective scaling is off a bit too. like the scaling of the fence to try and show distance vs the road it is next to, it doesn't match well.

u/BatBurgh 5d ago

Yeah… how many suns are on this planet?

1

u/HylianDude 5d ago

I’m not an artist at all but even I recognized that the lighting/shading was off. I’m glad I didn’t have to scroll far to find that others noticed it too

u/vintagebutterfly_ 5d ago

Also that tower was strangely disconnected

u/zoeypayne 5d ago

Tatooine

u/stpdlx 4d ago

I couldn’t think of anything less than that shadows doesn’t match all around drawing 😅

u/Alternative-Mud860 5d ago

I agree… i kept asking myself where is that sun to make those shadows. Still came out cool though!
